Dr. Zachary Spiritsos shares expert insights on the connections between digestive issues and conditions like POTS, MCAS, and EDS. He explains how these overlapping conditions present with distinct symptom patterns that can help patients better understand their complex health challenges.

• Neurogastroenterologists are "electricians, not plumbers" - focusing on nervous system connections to digestive issues
• POTS typically presents with racing heart upon standing, brain fog, blood pooling, and various GI symptoms
• MCAS features "twitchy" mast cells that react to everything from temperature changes to emotions
• Primary MCAS symptoms include skin manifestations (itching, rashes), ENT issues, and GI symptoms like unexplained heartburn
• EDS often shows up through joint hypermobility, subluxations, and can be assessed using the Beighton score
• These conditions frequently overlap, requiring thorough questioning to properly identify and treat
