POTS diet (So I can't eat anything fun.. what AM I supposed to eat??)

Question

Hi yall

Recently I got my blood work done and they told me to go on a heart healthy diet as my chlorostrol was too high. Though I know that means less sodium so idk how to even go about that w/ POTS.

I've had POTS for about a year and have struggled with diet stuff, as I lived with my parents and they bought the food on a tight budget. I live on my own now, (I recently moved) and POTS has been kicking my ass. My roomates and I were discussing diet stuff and I wanted to make a post here to see everyone's input. I know to avoid carbs, and certain meats, but I've only really seen what I'm supposed to *avoid*.. idk how to go about it and what I should be eating.

Since the more frequent small meals has been a struggle, I decided to make it fun act like I'm a Hobbit (in smaller portioned meals) I am really bad at portions.. advice on that would be lovely.
