Abstract
We report a case of ambulatory endoscopic gastrostomy feeding via a lo w profile button device using a portable feeding pump. This provided s uccessful nutritional support to a patient with chronic intestinal pse udo-obstruction who became pregnant while on gastrostomy feeding. She successfully completed her pregnancy with nutritional support through the gastrostomy. The portable feeding pump gave her excellent quality of life both indoors and outdoors, and she could continue feeding with out interrupting her daily housework, shopping and babycare.
