A member asked:
What are the pregnancy complications in short-bowel syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avitaminosis ADEK.: The lipid-soluble vitamins a, d, e, k and several other micronutrients that are not adequately absorbed in short bowel syndrome can cause pregnancy complications for both mother and fetus. Consult with an experienced gastroenterologist and a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to prevent/minimize these risks. Supplements by mouth or parenterally may be required to sustain a normal pregnancy.
