It depends. Lack of sufficient functional bowel is termed short bowel syndrome which can occur in children and adults. Long-term survival from short bowel syndrome depends on many many things, including the individual's age, whether they have a functioning liver, whether they are receiving adequate nutrition from alternative sources (eg, total parenteral nutrition, in which nutrition is provided through an intravenous line), whether they have comorbid conditions (eg, congenital anomalies like gastroschisis in which the baby is born with the bowels outside the body can occasionally lead to short bowel syndrome, and the bowels of these babies tend not to work as well), how much bowel is functional, whether they will undergo surgery to elongate the bowel, the degree of success of this surgery, etc.
