Hi im looking for some hell or advice.

I have type 3 eds and have had some problems with my digestive system and wheat and dairy effect my most.

this though is about my almost 10 year old daughter, she is the most lime me out of my 3 girl. She has had chfonic diarrhoea all her life and never gose to thoilet normally and can have diarrhoea up to 8 time a day.

she has been tested for eveything under the sun even constipation though this was really because tbey ran out of ideas, she has also had jwheat and dairy removed from her diet with no real change, and we really dont nk waht to do though from my other post I have been given the advice of using tea to bind her stools.

I am just wondering is her problems are a syptom of eds and by this point are we just going for trying go manage the problem rather then looking for a cure. Has anyone else had this constant problem and hat have you done to help, becasue at this point we have given up going back to the docters as they seem to have given up on her now that they are out of tests to give her.

I have eds 3 and suffered from IBS, but ther are many other gastrointestinal difficulties such as gartroparesis you could research. I found going dairy free (then vegan) made a great difference to my problems
