Newbie We are extremely careful about natural occurring high levels of MSG. I show significant allergies to the broccoli and nightshade veggie groups among others. Turkey is a huge problem..Organic chicken not much. Mushrooms are okay because we don’t have large amounts when we do eat them. I would say diet is the biggest challenge about my life with EDS. From early childhood it was clear that what I ate could be a problem..I now think it’s not the what as much as
just my whole leaky gut and endocrine problems. My diabetes and early life hypoglycemia seem to complicate the food issues beyond..allergies.

We also have noticed that my son who has significant scoliosis and skeletal problems can have tremors when he is cramping up etc. I do not ever have tremoring. I do have balance problems that stem from similar muscle tension issues. I have an “stop and chill” routine. Every two hours I stop whatever I am doing and do some relaxation breathing..just to keep from tightening up. I do have to over compensate for my looseness so then I have to recompensate for that!

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
