The Microbial Metabolites That May Be Rewiring the Brain: The Hidden Link Between SIBO, IBS, MCAS, Autism, ADHD, Glutamate, and Catecholamine Dysfunction
HPHPA, hydrogen sulfide, D-lactate and ammonia are microbial metabolites that may pressure catecholamine regulation through dopamine β-hydroxylase, COMT and mitochondrial ATP. A case-anchored look at the hidden link between SIBO, IBS, MCAS, POTS, ADHD-like symptoms and autism-spectrum features — a metabolite-driven mechanism rather than a purely compositional dysbiosis.

SIBO, MCAS, POTS and Food Intolerance May Be One Self-Sustaining System
For years, SIBO, MCAS, POTS, dysautonomia, food intolerance, chronic fatigue, neurological symptoms, and mitochondrial dysfunction have been treated as separate diagnoses.

What May Be Driving POTS? A Mechanistic Reading of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
POTS may not be one disease. At least four candidate mechanistic pathways — post-viral autonomic ganglion dysfunction, gut-driven vagal dysregulation, connective-tissue-mediated venous pooling, and primary deconditioning — produce the same phenotype. Each needs different intervention. A Host Capacity Model stratification of why standard POTS treatment helps some patients and not others, and how to tell which pathway is dominant in a given case.

Why hEDS, POTS, and MCAS Almost Always Come Together: The Mechanistic Triad and the Upstream Lesion Standard Medicine Doesn't Treat
Why hEDS, POTS, and MCAS cluster as one integrated illness — three faces of a structural vulnerability decompensating against a shared bioenergetic capacity ceiling.
