Research tinnitus. I have tinnitus and I truly do not think it is related to my celiac's. The ringing has been terrible for the last 4 months and I have not been glutened. The "eye" doctor I work for tells me that in the winter months when we have the heat going, the air inside is too dry and it dries out the mucous membranes in our bodies, giving us ringing in the ears and dry eyes. Not sure if he is correct, but it's possible. I also started taking Celexa about the same time the ringing started getting worse--could be that. I stopped taking my 81mg low dose aspirin and the ringing calmed for a time, yet this week, it has been back with a vegence. I have had tinnitus all my life, yet never like the last few months.

My dad has tinnitus. He has also gone nearly 100% deaf. But his is most likely from to many blows to the head. LOL! Ok all kidding aside, he grew up in a very rough neighborhood in Brooklyn and even if he was looking for it he would end up in fights all the time. He had his head cracked open a couple times and later in his teens started training to be a boxer; which is what he was going to do until his brother told him he would kill him if he dropped out of high school to become a boxer. Hehe!!

So although we don't know 100% the doctors (and us) pretty much speculate that both his tinnitus and hearing loss are from all of that.

Like Deb said, look into the tinnitus. You never know, but I doubt it is celiac related.

I have ringing ears ... it's from my Lyme Disease though, I have never seen it related to celiac.

If what Deb's doctor said is true, I'd bet you're getting dehydrated when you get glutened. I know I get dehydrated very easily when glutened.

I've had it my whole life as near as I can remember. I had no idea until a few years ago when I read something about it and realized I had it. It was just there as far back as I can remember. The sound changes, but gluten doesn't seem to affect it one way or another. I'm so accustsom to the ringing it's background noise to me. I suppose if it ever stopped THAT I would notice.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
