I have EDS and had 3 pregnancies via c-sections. The pregnancies went well and the c-sections were because the babies were big. At the time when I had the babies, I did not know I had anything wrong with me. I was not diagnosed until I was in my late 40s for which I had recently had my knees replaced, and started with chronic pain. The reason to have a definite diagnosis is to help other medical associates to understand that, with recognizing the Ehlers Danlos syndrome that there are related issues and diagnoses. My eye doctor related to me that a diagnosis he made was definitely related to Ehlers Danlos the same thing goes for the dentist. It also helps my physical therapist to treat me, by understanding the reasons, I cannot tolerate certain treatments and even not being able to tolerate exercise
Is there any research on combining L-glutamine supplementation with exercise to strengthen connective tissue?
L-glutamine supplementation also helps helps support the integrity of intestinal lining cells.
