Could Your Gut Pain Be EDS-Related? with Dr. Pradeep Chopra (Ep 157)
In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down once again with fellow pain specialist Dr. Pradeep Chopra to take listeners on a guided “walk” through the GI tract. From teeth to the stomach and beyond, they uncover how connective tissue disorders like EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes) and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders) along with POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and MCAS (Mast cell activation syndrome), can trigger unexpected abdominal pain and digestive challenges. Along the way, they explore overlooked diagnoses like Eagle Syndrome, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), and MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome), while also revealing hacks and strategies that empower patients to better understand and manage their symptoms. This is part one of a two-part deep dive into GI issues you won’t want to miss.
Takeaways
Why EDS patients often have “dancing teeth” and unique dental vulnerabilities
How Eagle Syndrome can masquerade as severe TMJ pain or headaches
The hidden role of MCAS in driving throat and GI inflammation
Why overlooked compression syndromes like MALS and SMA cause devastating abdominal pain
A surprising at-home hack with beets that can reveal slowed gut motility
