Teduglutide for Short Bowel Syndrome "I was part of the double-blind study for Gattex. We knew I had the 'real thing' because I was able to wean off TPN. That changed my world! Before I was existing, with Gattex, I was and am living! I do a tube feeding overnight to supplement my nutrition, which is really easy. Mixing and injecting Gattex is easy, once you learn the routine. Be sure to check the amount to inject every time you receive your monthly box. The cost is extremely high, but the benefits for me are worth every penny. The only side effects I have experienced are fluid retention, at times. But some of that was because I injected too much, which is why I said to check the box every time you receive your monthly supply, which by the way includes everything you need to administer Gattex. I hope this helps you in some way."

Teduglutide for Short Bowel Syndrome "Absolute life-changing drug! Went from diarrhea and approx. 10 BMs/day to two fairly normally formed stools. Had numerous resections of bowel as a young man, and now, 50 years later, functioning satisfactorily."

Teduglutide for Short Bowel Syndrome "Change my life. Went from IV fluids every other night to completely getting rid of central line and its worrisome side effects to still emptying a lot every 2 hours on average, but beats every 5 mins for approximately 4 years until this drug was introduced to me. Answered prayer. Way too expensive unless you find help, unless you are very well-off."

Teduglutide for Short Bowel Syndrome "Noticeable difference within a couple of weeks after starting Gattex. It’s amazing! Additional improvement after a few dietary changes. Went from 10+ BMs a day to less than 6 a day."
