Gastrointestinal pathology has a direct influence on increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this review was to describe the characterization of digestive manifestations and complications in patients with cystic fibrosis. To obtain the information, an electronic search was performed in the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scielo between 2019 to 2023, keywords such as; Cystic Fibrosis, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Mucoviscidosis, Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator were also used, according to DeCS and MeSH bibliographic descriptors, bilean operators such as "AND, OR and NOT" were also used. In our results, a total of 12 studies were identified, most of them reported intestinal manifestations associated with cystic fibrosis, the ones that stood out were; abdominal pain, bowel movement alterations, deterioration in quality of life, loss of appetite, in addition to intestinal inflammation, constipation, heartburn, chronic diarrhea, flatulence and complications such as; intestinal malabsorption syndrome, biliary disease, exocrine pancreatic failure, severe malnutrition, distal intestinal obstruction.
