Summary
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common problem in cystic fibrosis (CF). It may lead to
worsening lung function and more respiratory infections for a person with CF. This study will
look at treating GERD with a medication, esopmeprazole. The medication stops stomach acid
from being made. The study will see if there are fewer respiratory infections and improved
lung function in patients with CF when taking esomeprazole.
