GLP-2 analogs are disclosed which comprise one of more substitutions as compared to h[Gly2]GLP-2 and which may have the property of an increased small intestine/colon and stomach/colon selectivity. More particularly, preferred GLP-2 analogs disclosed herein comprise substitutions at one or more of positions 11, 16, 20, 24 and/or 28 of the wild-type GLP-2 sequence, optionally in combination with further substitutions at position 2 and one or more of positions 3, 5, 7, and 10, and/or a deletion of one or more of amino acids 31 to 33 and/or the addition of a N-terminal or C-terminal stabilizing peptide sequence. The analogs are particularly useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of stomach and bowel-related disorders and for ameliorating side effects of chemotherapy.
