Successful pregnancy and breast feeding during intravenous treatment for advanced intestinal failure (IF) is possible with careful surveillance and appropriate adjustment of the nutritional regimen. However, experience of GLP-2 agonists in this context is lacking. Here we describe a patient with IF who underwent two successful pregnancies and who used teduglutide during breastfeeding after the second pregnancy, with good effect and without negative side effects.
