    Abstract

    Twenty-five (37%) patients with cystic fibrosis attending our clinic have experienced acute meconium ileus equivalent. In one year 37 of 40 episodes were treated with single dose oral Gastrografin with an 81% success rate, 75% being treated as outpatients. Patients found this treatment preferable to other recommended treatment.
