Diet for EDS Symptom Management
Why focus on diet and supplementation over other methods of managing EDS-related symptoms?
When faced with a health-related issue, we frequently seek and rely on the direction of healthcare professionals. However, with chronic and debilitating conditions like the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), you might imagine how discouraging it can be to constantly rely on others for help, even for basic tasks like picking up a glass of water or cutting vegetables.
​
In light of this, our team decided to focus on a symptom management approach that patients could have more control over. As a result, our team created this website and an accompanying pamphlet to serve as tools for synthesizing evidence-based information about EDS symptom management through diet.
​
We hope that our educational tools will help individuals affected by EDS, whether directly or indirectly (i.e., patients or caregivers), better understand common comorbidities associated with EDS and how they can possibly better manage the associated symptoms through diet and supplementation.
