Meniers and celiac are they related

[nataliallano]

Hi all, I was recently diagnose with menier's after a long year of vertigo, ear pressure, tinnitus and anemia. I went to several specialist in The USA and also in Mex. got all the hearing test and MRI but they cant find much. I started a low sodium diet no caffeine no alcohol, and gluten free. I feel no changes in my symptoms. I have tried 6 months o betahistine and diuretics didn't work. Now I'm completely gluten free and  i have some days better than others but nothing seems to work. I don't feel me. 

What else can I do? There is something else I could check like vitamins I'm currently taking Ginkgo Biloba as a supplement. how can I find out why Menier's?

Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano,

What was done to correct your anemia??? 

Have you been tested for other nutritional deficiencies besides iron?  You will want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies before starting supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.

Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano,

There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both. 

Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.
