Beyond enteral feedings: Teduglutide and its role in gut resiliency

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Teduglutide is a glucagon‐like peptide‐2 (GLP‐2) analog that promotes intestinal adaptation with a goal of reducing dependence on parenteral nutrition (PN) in those with short bowel syndrome (SBS). We describe a 2‐year‐old, born at 26 weeks gestation, with a history of PN dependency due to recurrent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and ...
