Could your digestive issues be caused by how the body holds itself together? Connective tissue conditions can change the speed of food through the gut, impact on digestion as well as a host of other impacts. This week Alex Orfanides, osteopath and hypermobility expert, answers all my questions:
- What is hypermobility and how would you know if this affects you?
- How can connective tissue disorders like hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) affect your digestion?
- What lifestyle changes help if you have hEDS / HDS?
Thank you to Alex for a fantastic conversation, her passion for this topic is very clear and she's so well researched and knowledgeable on this topic.
