Why / Caveats

POTS

✔︎ Yes (with salt)

Chicken and fries are seasoned with ¾ tsp sea salt total → ≈1 000 mg sodium across the bowl—enough to raise plasma volume without electrolyte packets.

Lupus

✔︎ Yes

Sweet-potato beta-carotene, avocado MUFAs, tomato polyphenols, and olive-oil yogurt sauce all support anti-inflammatory pathways.

Vestibular migraine

⚠︎ Caution

Avocado is moderate histamine; swap equal cubes of cucumber if it triggers headaches. Everything else is low histamine.
