Abstract
We report a case of ambulatory endoscopic gastrostomy feeding via a low profile button device using a portable feeding pump. This provided successful nutritional support to a patient with chronic intestinal pseudo-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 without interrupting her daily housework, shopping and babycare.
