Dr. Arthur Heller answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Can't tell here...: But patients have lived decades with appropriate care and nutrition support, often dying from unrelated causes (like other people). Key is seeing mds with familiarity and expertise in the problems associated with short ( not simply shortened) bowel.
