Diet with high fiber and complex carbohydrates may help reduce blood glucose (sugar) spikes and lessen POTS symptoms. Keep your nutrition balanced with protein, vegetables, dairy and fruits. Plan meals as POTS patients may occasionally not have stamina for grocery shopping and preparing meals.
DIET & NUTRITION
Increase sodium in your diet to 3,000 mg to 10,000 mg per day.
Drink 2-2.5 liters per day of fluids. Water is a good choice. Sports drinks are OK, but watch calories and if you have food sensitivities to these drinks' ingredients.
Small and frequent meals are better tolerated and reduce POTS symptoms.
Beneficial salty snacks may include chicken or beef broth, vegetable broth, pickles, olives, salted fish like sardines/anchovies and nuts. Don't over-rely on snack chips and crackers for salt.
Plan grocery store shopping using a list to make sure you pick up healthy food choices and POTS care (hydration and salty supplements). If your stamina is reduced have someone help you shop, carry and put away your groceries.
