Patient Success Stories
See how Encala has helped patients gain weight and improve their fat malabsorption.

“Thomas is a 3 year old with cystic fibrosis (a double delta F508 mutation) who has pancreatic problems with food malabsorption. In January 2021 he started using Encala. To my delight he got used to it very quickly. Thomas went from an 82% weight percentile to 98% weight percentile in a few months. Today he has reduced enzyme volume and is very healthy.”
VANDRESSA JUNG – MOTHER OF THOMAS

“My son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 2019 when he was one month old. Since his healthcare provider started him on Encala in December of 2020, his growth has increased by 47% and he’s now in the above average percentile of body weight for his age.”
KATIE DERKS – MOTHER OF CHILD WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS

“I’m enjoying Encala! It’s made more foods ‘safe’ for me again, as they’re triggering far fewer dumping syndrome episodes.”
HANS RUEFFERT CHEF + GASTRIC CANCER SURVIVOR

“It’s been a couple of weeks with using Encala® and I noticed even in my face that I’m gaining weight.”
PATIENT – AGE 27

“Basically, every supplement I’ve used in the past has gone right through me, but not so with Encala. I know it’s anecdotal, but my “dumping syndrome” episodes have been nearly non-existent here lately… that’s a big deal.”
HANS RUEFFERT CHEF + GASTRIC CANCER SURVIVOR

“It is amazing in hot chocolate. I find this to be a highlight because it is easy to incorporate and I haven’t had a greasy stool all day while using it”
PATIENT – AGE 19

“So far, I’m loving Encala! I’ve used it in a few smoothie/drink concoctions and had no GI troubles at all.”
HANS RUEFFERT CHEF + GASTRIC CANCER SURVIVOR

“He says a peanut butter and fluff sandwich is great and the Encala is absorbed easily. He cannot taste a difference between this and a regular sandwich.”
PARENT OF A 13-YEAR-OLD PATIENT

“My daughter’s goal is improved absorption and weight gain. She did have less frequent obvious greasy stools week 2.”
PARENT OF A 5-YEAR-OLD PATIENT

“A little less digestive pains after eating. Bowel movements were more normal and not as greasy after higher fat foods.”
PARENT OF A 12-YEAR-OLD PATIENT

“I’ve been eating so much better because my digestive system is better and better as far as digesting the foods, going regularly to use the restroom and everything.”
PATIENT – AGE 27

“I’ve noticed a weight increase the past 2 weeks I’ve gained 5lb in 2 week[s] which is amazing. I will continue to use this.“
