A member asked:
Why is it so hard for people with ehlers danlos to maintain adequate mineral & electrolyte levels? despite a good diet? is it absorption issues associated with connective tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ehlers Danlos syndrome has numerous complexities, and have witnessed problems with celiac plexus and malabsorption issues, to be brief. Would certainly consult a gastroenterologist and perhaps a dietician. To further explore, suggest consulting an expert in connective tissue disease, and there are scattered doctors in New York and New England who you might travel to see. Ask your current docs.
