<h1>Diet: It May Be a Big Factor Related to Dysautonomia</h1>

It's pretty widely accepted that another factor that contributes a great deal to overall well-being is a healthy diet full of whole natural foods, including quality clean protein, fiber, fruits, and vegetables. And don't forget the good fats like omega 3, 6 and 9 from grass fed butter, avocados, olive oil, etc--they are sometimes the most healing of all!  No refined sugars or white flours, limit caffeine, and avoid chemicals, mold and preservatives. It's also a good idea to find out if you have any food allergies or intolerances--It’s amazing how many people food intolerances and allergies that they don’t realize are contributing to their symptoms. Keep in mind that a food allergy is handled differently than a food intolerance, so be sure to get your doctor or dietitian to help you determine which is which for you.

 

Unfortuntely, though, many regular MD-type doctors will disregard the idea of food intolerances, so you probably want to ask your dysautonomia doctor or another more natural-oriented physician, or a registered dietitian for help with evaluating whether food intolerances and allergies are an issue for you or not.  There is a great guide to figuring out what are your best and worst foods at a site called Bulletproof.com or you can look up the Bulletproof Diet online. There is a free diagram you can download and figure through your own testing what works for you and what doesn't.  One thing that does seem to consistently help people feel better in general is to completely stop eating anything made with wheat and try to eat organic and grass-fed meats / dairy so you avoid the herbicides and pesticides that disrupt your biology in so many ways.

 

For those with Dysautonomia, an increased sodium diet is usually recommended with extra fluid intake, which naturally helps maintain good blood volume and blood pressure. Some dysautonomia specialists recommend 2-4grams of salt per day (a full teaspoon is about 5 grams), and 64-96 ounces of water per day. Also, how often you eat affect your energy levels. Some say eat 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 large meals. Others say eat 3 meals a day. Still others recommend two meals and a snack or two per day. Bottoms line--you need to find out what pattern of eating works for you, so keep experimenting and find what pattern keeps you feeling the best for the longest periods of time.

For some real help with any dysautonomia symptoms and great overall health advice, you'll want to talk to physicians that specialize in that area.
