[Rosie]

Zizzle, I thought of you when I saw this! The study is of the most severe type of Ehlers Danlos, but thought that it might have some useful info for you.

Children with the inherited disorder known as Ehlers Danlos type 3 syndrome may be at high risk for severe food allergy, British researchers reported here.

Food elimination testing found that 74% were allergic to milk, egg, wheat, and soy, with small numbers also becoming symptomatic on exposure to dairy, nuts, gluten, and bananas.

Symptoms included abdominal pain (90%) and constipation (90%), and the most common food allergic diagnoses were eosinophilic colitis and allergic dysmotility.
