I'm so sorry to hear you were diagnosed with MALS. It is a very painful and difficult diagnosis.
There is a website called. The MALS Foundation which is very helpful with how to handle MALS.
Also, Facebook has a great support page called MALS Awareness. It is an amazing page to learn and ask questions with real experience. But please be open minded because everybody body's and experiences may be very different.
MALS is a very rare diagnosis. There are not many doctors who know what it is or how to treat it.
I have had 29 tests and my gallbladder removed before I was diagnosed.
Stay positive. You need to be your own advocate to get things done. Please feel free to reach out to me. Good luck. 🙏🙏❤️

It is hard to watch my young friend going through this. Her culture isn’t allowed computers so that is why I am here to represent her. Through MALS PALS fb group I joined yesterday I have already found several local (ish) doctors familiar with MALS and Nutcracker. So hopeful some answers can be found for her.

I am so glad you have found some help! It is a process isn’t it?

Hello,
Recently diagnosed with MALS. Wondering if you had the celiac plexus block and or surgery? At mayo?
Thanks
