Thanks. Now I can understand the relation between Dysautonomia and nutrition

[sfn-life]

Have any studies been done on non-diabetic sugar fluctuations within range but large swings? Leading potentially to nerve damage involving the autonomic nervous system?

[shannonjones]

I have neurogenic orthostatic hypotension which is NEVER discussed....as far as nutrition..I have migraine so foods are extremely limited..I have MCAS also..I realize pots is more popular..have no care team...waiting for an appt with a real doctor..the orthostatic director at the Cleveland clinic..sad part 6-7 month wait list 🥺😢💔..sodium triggers migraines by the way

[sfn-life]

I notice that you did not mention low copper....but I have found that many people (like me) that have iron issues....have the root of that problem caused by copper deficiency....copper deficiency leads to iron transport issues and anemia / low oxygen / extreme fatigue etc....

Ever since I started having health problems I noticed I can’t digest tough vegetables or tough meat 😩 my diet is really limited. I can only eat soft foods, I mainly eat tuna, eggs and oatmeal

[BeastLordofMetal]

If I am to take b1, should I be concerned with side effects or depletion of other nutrients with higher doses

Thank you for sharing this information. I am in constant investigation of myself and so far this is the condition that match in all symptoms. I also came across a video from Dr Lair Ribeiro, that alerts people about dysautonomia and he related this condition with low tocotrienol ( a form of vit E) this is found in a plant called urucun, native from tropical contries. I am now in process of testing it.

[lotrhpnmask]

dr recently said iron was a little low, said not much, no reasons why but determined to find something but never thinks about the actual conditions being involved with why. im also allergic to nuts and olive so im trying to work around foods with that in it. i tend react to lot of things, the only thing an allergist said was, 'your system is just touchy i guess just avoid stuff" no real reason or what is going on. or real advice or help. way most doctors in my entire town act with conditions. they don't even want to send me to a pots specialist.

It is a challenge to consume that much salt but I do it. The 4-5 bottles of electrolyte water does help.Try to consume no processed food ( poisoned), only natural juice, veggies( no nightshade), some grains, gluten free, no meat, light dairy. ( I tried to give it up but nope).

[tessab]

How can 4, 000 mg of salt equal 10 grams? Wouldn’t that be 4 grams?

[judithdesrosiers-qmwt]

Eat lying on your stomach ????even with y hyper mobility I would still choke
