Newbie-autonomic Dysfunction

[veggie]

Hi

I'm new and will make this as parsimonious as possible. In July 2005 I went to a GI doctor for chronic diarrhea, and dull gnawing stomach pain. He did an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and barium x ray. The results were atophic gastritis (duodenum) and possibly IBS. I've had chronic diarrhea for the last 2 years and was dx's with autonomic dysfunction (POTS...Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) in April 2006.

I've been gluten free for over three weeks and my POTS symptoms, rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, faitgue. dizzy upon standing, and severe exericise intolerance, have gotten better. Tachycardia (pulse) is lower and hypotension is higher and stable.

Can anyone with autonomic dysfunction and or symptoms shed some light on this issue and tell me your experience?

FYI: Autonomic dysfunction is neurological. I've read that celiac disease can cause neurological problems.

Thanks in advance,

Karen
