      Chronicallyjenni on instagram posts lots of tips for pots and eds. I think she may have something about supplements on there.

      Also under the "if it doesn't exacerbate you / isn't contraindicated for your meds" kind of thing, my POTS/EDS specialist has me on 450mg Licorice root, taken 3x a day.

      I've had a lot of luck with generic benefiber re:constipation. Might be something to consider if it doesn't aggrevate anything else

      The Facebook group for Gastroparesis is actually insanely helpful. It’s like a second family there for me.
