Clinical Data
Can Fat Absorption Be Enhanced with a Novel Medical Food?
Review of the science and two patient cases: a pediatric SBS patient with weight gain and GI symptom relief, and an adult pancreatic cancer patient with symptom relief.
Novel Lym-X-Sorb Medical Food to Improve Fat Absorption in Pediatric SBS
A 5-year-old SBS patient with no weight gain since stopping parenteral nutrition achieved meaningful weight gain and reduced GI symptoms within 6 weeks; +2.5kg after 8 months.
Can Fat Absorption Be Enhanced with a Novel Medical Food?
A 4-year-old patient with Rett Syndrome, feeding difficulties, and PN dependence showed immediate GI symptom improvement following the introduction of Seracal.
Impact of a Pre-Digested Fat Medical Food on Weight Gain in Pediatric Malabsorption
Pediatric patients (n=25) with malabsorption from conditions other than cystic fibrosis gained an average of 1.84kg after an average of 6.8 months of Seracal use.

Can Fat Absorption Be Enhanced with a Novel Medical Food?
Review of science and a patient case using Seracal.
- 4 year old pediatric patient, Rett Syndrome with history of feeding difficulties, G-Tube with intolerance and PN dependence
- Following introduction of Seracal noted an immediate improvement in GI symptoms

Abstract presented at DDW 2026 | Chicago, IL
Impact of a Novel Pre-Digested Fat Medical Food on Weight Gain in Pediatric Patients with Malabsorption
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether pediatric patients with malabsorption from conditions other than cystic fibrosis would achieve weight gain and tolerate the addition of Seracal to their daily intake.
- Enrolled patients (n=25) experienced an average weight gain of 1.84 kg after an average of 6.8 months of Seracal use
- Poster shared with permission of authors: Nataly ShayanSmith, BS, Carol Ireton-Jones, PhD, RD, LD, CNSC, FASPEN, FAND, and Debora Duro, MD, MS
