Vertigo

[Sharm]

Hello

 

I've tested negative for Celiac years ago. I do t know for sure if I’m a true celiac, but the gene does show up on my 23 and me testing. 
 

while eating gluten, I’ve been plagued by intestinal distress and joint aches. 
 

I’ve gone on and off of the gluten free wagon. 
 

for several months I hadn’t been monitoring gluten intake with reckless abandon. 
 

coincidentally, I developed a severe case of vertigo that was constant for a few months. Have the Epley maneuver performed. I also went to an ENT who checked me out for Meniere’s disease.  I would get ear pressure and ringing with the vertigo. 

The ENT put me on a course of prednisone that seem to help, but it came right back.  
 

I was feeling so achy and in so much digestive distress, that I decided to go gluten-free. Within a week, the vertigo was gone! As suddenly as it came on, that’s how it went. 
 

I also now have no joint aches, bloating, intestinal discomfort. I pretty much knew this would happen. 
 

is it possible that I now have gluten induced vertigo? This was never a symptom before. 
 

I also forgot to mention that my migraine headaches go away when I avoid gluten. Since I get the ocular type of migraines, I was even wondering if the vertigo was part of a migraine

Welcome to the forum community @Sharm!

My guess is the answer to your first question is very likely "yes" and "quite possibly" to the second one. But more importantly, you obviously have discovered the root cause of these several maladies and whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) is a rather moot point. You need to get serious about beginning a gluten free lifestyle or you risk permanent neurological damage. Here is a primer to give you a jump start:

Vertigo was a primary symptom for me before I went gluten-free, so it is a definite possibility.
