Papaya Bowl with Blueberries and Seed Mix

How my symptoms showed up

• POTS: that hollow, jittery feeling where my heart felt fine but my body clearly needed something - mild tremor in my hands, worse when I stood up

• Migraine: early nausea without head pain, plus sensitivity to heaviness or grease

• Lupus: no joint pain, but a low-grade internal fatigue where dense foods sounded unappealing

Disorder safety check

Condition	Verdict	Notes
POTS	Helpful	Quick carbs + hydration reduced shakiness
Lupus	Safe	Light, anti-inflammatory
Vestibular migraine	Cautious but helpful	Avoided grease and strong smells

Ingredients (1 serving)

• Ripe papaya, cubed

• Fresh blueberries

• Pumpkin seeds

• Flaxseeds

• Optional: cinnamon or a pinch of salt

How I made it

1. Prep the fruit

   Cube papaya into bite-sized pieces. Rinse blueberries and pat dry.

2. Assemble

   Add fruit to a bowl, layering papaya first, blueberries on top.

3. Add seeds

   Sprinkle pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds evenly so every bite gets a little texture.

4. Season lightly

   Add a pinch of cinnamon or salt if tolerated - just enough to keep it from tasting flat.
