vet_runner Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hello! I was wondering what other people's experience with dairy is? I've read that people with PoTS can be more sensitive to dairy and it cause worsening of symptoms. I haven't found any information on what worsening of symptoms means... does it mean worsening of GI symptoms, or any symptoms?I've been lactose intolerant for a long time (used lactase pills and lactose free products) and decided to cut all dairy out after my diagnosis in May. I've recently reintroduced it (lactose free products only), and am not sure what to look for in regards to symptoms. I'm currently not felling great and have had a relapse of my symptoms, but I find there are so many triggers it can be hard to nail down what is going on.Otherwise, I try to eat as healthily as possible and make all my own food. I'm also vegetarian. Any thoughts would be helpful Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statesof Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 My body does not tolerate dairy well, but it's more of the digestive symptoms (bloating, discomfort) that I get rather than POTS specific. I did not have problems with diary prior to my POTS stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Dairy proteins set off my Tourette Syndrome, but not my POTS as far as I know. I suppose that a POTS reaction to dairy would mean that any POTS symptom can get worse after you have eaten it and/or it has had time to digest.
