Depending on the suspected cause, for MALS it is a diagnosis of last resort, so a comprehensive GI work up is needed. There are other diagnosis that can cause symptoms. I think this is a great resource:https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/median-arcuate-ligament-syndrome/

Exactly. I have been diagnosed with gastroparesis, had to have my gallbladder removed, and I also had sphincter of Odii surgery. I also ended up with small bowel AVMs that had to be cauterized that was causing my anemia and now they’re checking for celiac disease as well in addition I also have reactive chemical gastrophy and severe chronic gastritis.
