Brief Summary
Feasibility study to understand and gain preliminary information on tolerability and palatability of an oral nutritional supplement gel in a clinical Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia population. To determine if dietary intake is affected by the consumption of the nutritional supplement. Explore possible future outcome measures that could be important in determining impact of this nutritional intervention on this patient group. Participants will be provided with the gel supplements and alongside will have other standard and non standard care measures assessed lung function (FEV1%) number of exacerbation's during study period vitamin D status Bio impedance analysis (BIA) skin-fold measures (e.g. Tricep Skin-fold (TSF) Mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) Handgrip strength (HGS) quality of life measures 6-minute walking tests. Hypothesis Patients with PCD can successfully consume 2 gel supplements per day for a period of 3 months with no effect on dietary intake.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Percentage consumption of supplement gels
To measure through percentage (%) consumed by return of empty sachets over period of three months for each participant
3 months
Assessment of palatability of supplement gels
To measure using hedonic rating scale (like a lot, like a little, neither like nor dislike, dislike a little, dislike a lot) the appearance, aroma, taste, sweetness, texture mouth feel over the study period of 3 months for each participant
3 months
Measurement of dietary intake
To collect dietary intake at monthly intervals (baseline, one, two and three) using multiple pass 24 hour recalls conducted through face to face and telephone interviews at each time point recording all food and drink consumption. This is then analysed via Nutritics software, for each participant

Study Population
OTHERParticipants will be recruited and consented as part of routine care. All will trial supplement initially and have standard and additional measures taken. they will be followed up at month 1 and 2 collecting the primary outcomes (acceptability/palatability and dietary intake) and all initial measures repeated at month 3. Each participant will receive 3 months supply of gels to consume 2 per day.
Interventions
Oral Protein gel with greater Leucine proportion and vitamin D Consumption of 2 each day for 3 months to be taken at breakfast and lunch
