[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in GI. I had one patient that had a rapid weight gain and was found to have celiac disease.

That said- guessing this is more related to sodium and calories.

We see a lot of patients with POTS. I’m not sure what type of Liquid IV she is using, whether it is sugar or not, but electrolytes are likely not necessary. She needs more volume in the tank and salt does that.

She should be checking her blood pressure.

She should be sitting upright all day, sleep on an incline and exercise every day.

She should see a cardiologist who treats POTS.

In the absence of other symptoms or abnormal labs, would work on those things…and have someone draw celiac labs.

Would be reasonable to look into MCAS at some point.

Thanks PP, and other PPS who posted last night. She had an appointment with new doctor today, and hopefully that will help expedite getting in with a good cardiologist sooner. [/quote]

Just a PP here checking in and hoping for some answers for your daughter![/quote]

Same. Thinking about you both. [/quote]
