Commercial enteral formulas are typically made using a low-cost version of extracted carbohydrates, proteins, and oils. Imagine consuming sugar for nearly all of your carbohydrates. Because these provide only empty calories, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added in to make up for this deficit. This is exactly the way the rest of us are told not to eat, yet these diets are recommended to tube-fed people day in and day out.

​

There is more to a diet than a concoction of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Real food offers natural fiber, probiotic bacteria, prebiotics to feed the gut microbiome, phytochemicals to contribute to longevity and so much more. Whole Story Meals understands the importance of whole food. The benefits of whole food cannot be reproduced synthetically.

Without proper nutrition, it can be difficult to heal, grow, and thrive. Why would we feed some of the most fragile members of our society some of the the least nutritious food on the market?

While some products for tube feeding do include real food, these products are subjected to high levels of heat to make them shelf stable. This process destroys many of the benefits of the food. They are also heavy and cumbersome.

Whole Story Meals are never heat treated, retaining up to 96% of their original nutrients, and are lightweight and easy to carry. With Whole Story Meals, you’ll find convenience without nutritional compromise.
