Overview
- Coverage on Tuesday reported that the comedian now leaves his medical backpack at home after starting teduglutide shots.
- Teduglutide helps the gut absorb nutrients more effectively, which Bauer says cuts his daily infusion time by about seven hours.
- He is touring his solo show Fallschirmspringer across Germany and appears on stage without the once‑constant backpack.
- He lives with short bowel syndrome, a chronic condition that previously kept him connected to infusions for up to 17 hours a day.
- The treatment is not a cure, but Bauer says the extra time and mobility let him travel and prepare for shows with far less burden.
