State that POTS stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and that it is a disorder where the autonomic nervous system (ANS) malfunctions, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. Explain that the article links gluten to POTS by noting a higher rate of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) in people with POTS, symptoms worsening after gluten exposure, and improvement on a strict gluten-free diet, making gluten elimination a key part of a functional medicine plan for POTS. Identify 'Glutenology™ Masterclass' or 'No Grain No Pain' as an additional resource for deeper learning about gluten's impact on health.
