Sammanfattning
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder with generalized joint
hypermobility, complications of
instability, chronic musculoskeletal pain, a bleeding tendency, oral health problems and food
hypersensitivity. A connection
between hypermobility of joints and gastrointestinal problems is described. This study shows that
indigestion is common in this
group of 250 respondents from the Swedish EDS group. In total, 30% of the respondents reported no
sensitivity to food at all,
but 47% reported hypersensitivity for more than four food items. Most frequent reported food items
were carbohydrates,
histamine- and birch-related foods. Indigestion, itching and diarrhoea were most common problems
related to food
hypersensitivity.
