Yes, but not EDS-HT: Functional bowel disorders such as IBS are more commonly related to EDS-HT. Gastric telangiectasias are probably more likely to be related to vascular EDS than the hypermobility type. Or perhaps completely unrelated in your case. A rheumatologist should be able to sort this out.
