Detailed description

The impact of diet on symptoms in patients with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS/HSD) is widely recognised yet poorly understood. The investigators aim is to assess existing dietary patterns and nutritional status in hEDS/HSD as well as pilot a personalised dietary strategy to optimise nutrition. Participants recruited from EDS UK and a tertiary Neurogastroenterology clinic at the Royal London Hospital will undergo comprehensive nutritional assessment and blood tests. The investigators will then undertake a feasibility study of personalised dietary intervention in select cohort of patients.
