Ehlers-Danlos & Digestive Health: A Beginner’s 5-Step Guide to Managing Gut Issues, Fatigue, and Nutrient Deficiencies Through Food

Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) comes with a unique set of challenges that affect many aspects of daily life. EDS is a group of connective tissue disorders caused by genetic variations that weaken collagen, a critical protein found throughout the body. It impacts everything from joints and skin to internal organs, often leading to chronic pain, unstable joints, and an unpredictable range of symptoms. Among these, one of the most common yet often misunderstood areas is its connection to gut health.

Gut-related symptoms in EDS can be particularly frustrating. Digestive discomfort, malabsorption issues, and conditions like IBS, GERD, gastroparesis, or even nutrient deficiencies are frequently reported by individuals with EDS. The root of these issues often ties back to how collagen and connective tissues play a vital role in the structure and function of the digestive system. When paired with conditions like autonomic dysfunction (e.g., POTS), these symptoms can become even more difficult to untangle.
