Managing Gastrointestinal Autonomic Complications - Dr. Gisela Chelimsky

There is a big overlap between postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), generalized hypermobility, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Some gastrointestinal symptoms are manifestations of orthostatic intolerance. Orthostatic intolerance refers to symptoms that occur due to standing up or being upright.
In this video, Dr. Gisela Chelimsky explains how to manage gastrointestinal autonomic complications. Dr. Chelimsky is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Virginia Commonwealth University and the chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Children’s Hospital of Richmond. She directs the Pediatric Autonomic program.
