Anyone here diagnosed with POTS/MCAS/Dysautonomia?

Is there a comment here you expend on your diet?
No. I mostly eat homemade meals, a few examples: stuff like stir frys, chicken soup, beef stew, red beans, hamburgers, pasta (spaghetti type stuff). Not a full list, but I probably eat too much pasta and rice for one thing as well as too much tomato sauces and acidic foods. I always thought it was eating a lot of tomato sauces that probably caused my acid reflux, but I'm not sure if that's it.
As for breakfast, I usually skip, and I just drink a coffee with some heavy cream, but if I do have something it'll usually be like eggs and bacon, that type of thing. Lunch, sandwich, usually skip though. A lot of days I will just eat a big meal for dinner. I just tend to feel better on one meal a day.Did the acid reflux start before you started taking baking soda? Did your symptoms/some of your symptoms worsen after you started taking baking soda?
The acid reflux has been around for 3 years or so, and I started the baking soda in water as a remedy for that. I wouldn't say the symptoms worsened. The symptoms were usually worse after eating certain foods, like tomato sauces. I would let my food digest for a few hours and then take some baking soda to knock the acid down.
Since I started taking the Pepcid AC as a histamine blocker, I have not had almost any acid reflux. Symptoms started improving after I started Pepcid AC and Zyrtec. I don't know if those are what started the turn around. I'm going to continue taking them though.
When the symptoms started arround the 19th, did you spend lot of time in sunlight, if yes, was in one of the first days of the year you did?
I started sunning in May and continued into June. I use the DMinder app, so I know exactly the days I had a lot of time in the sun. Never anything crazy, usually 1 hour sessions. Before the symptoms got bad on the 19th, I had a 1 hour sun session on June 14th, the UV index was 6.7.

@Hearthfire do you still get foods/liquids reflux, yet non acidic ? Foods sit in your stomach long?

Nope.
Foods sit in your stomach long?
I usually feel normal after an hour. If I eat a lot more than usual, like a big dinner for example, then it feels like it sits in the stomach longer. Like 2 hours. Not sure if that's too long, I never really thought about it.
