Dealing with GI Issues with POTS

yes the bloating is so bad. I can usually get myself to drink a smoothie because its easier to drink than chew with nausea.

I have this too and am nauseated most of the time :( I do drink Ensure Plus when it is really bad but honestly I’m not sure to see a GI or if I can figure out a way to eat more on my own I have already seen a lot of different doctors

Gastroparesis is very common in people with POTS

I would talk to a G.I. specialist because a lot of POTS patients experience stomach problems I mean I am on a chronic nausea medication because I can’t keep any food down or eat much. I’m actually getting tested for Gastroparesis.

Yes! I have Celiac disease!

Yeah it’s becoming pretty constant for me now too. Anyone find anything that helps? I wish my doctor had a little more input about it

I do. I have gastroparesis and I feel so full when I eat, and stay nauseated 90% of the time.

I have the same exact issues, though for me it's constant. Eating in general always causes problems and has for the past 5 years now. I've been wondering about it for a while now, it makes it really hard to eat enough because small amounts of food make me feel like I just overate and I get severe abdominal swelling. I do wonder if it could be related to pots/autonomic dysfunction

I have to drink boost protein drinks when it’s bad bc it’s the only thing i can get myself to eat. My dr wasnt concerned and just told me to keep drinking those as if that solves anything. I haven’t noticed any throbbing. My neurologist has told me to wear a abdominal binder for blood pooling though.

I have these issues too. I normally just force feed myself and take a lot of stomach meds to try to not feel sick. I get blood pooling and throbbing into my stomach too which is extremely uncomfortable, do you get that?
