Many POTS patients experience nausea and other digestive issues as part of their condition. This can be attributed to the autonomic nervous system’s role in regulating gastrointestinal function.
Common digestive complaints among POTS patients include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. To manage these symptoms, individuals should maintain a well-balanced diet, avoid known food triggers, and stay hydrated.
In some cases, healthcare providers may recommend dietary modifications, such as increasing fiber intake or following a low FODMAP diet, to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, over-the-counter medications or prescription treatments may be necessary to manage more severe digestive issues. (5)
