Ok So Now I Know What It Is, But How Do I Deal With The Symptoms Like Ringing Ears, And Blurred Visoin?

i guess the only treatment for tinnitus (i recently discovered that not everyone has a low, static sound in their ears) is dietetic, which basically make you pee more? and excersizing. all i DO is excersize, and i pee pretty up to standards. and the blurred vision (which used to be just slightly blurred but now it has fun little color dots, and whenever i move my head while looking there's a mirror image of what i saw for a second) my eye doctor said i'm fine and to just wear sunglasses since im increasingly sensitive to it. all of this added together makes a pretty weird experience for me, and some weird nightmares.

what can i do to alleviate these? i do avoid MSG laced products since i heard it can cause the problems. any hollistic approaches? thanks!

My tinnitus & vision issues cleared up w/in a few wks after I eliminated EVERYTHING troublesome from my diet. It's a long list, but includes soy, dairy, sugar/sweeteners, corn, potatoes etc etc

I'm not allergic to any of them either, and didn't realize any were a problem until I quit them for a couple wks and found seemingly unrelated problems vanishing.

I wasn't trying to say you have any of same intolerances as I, just that the problem could easily be diet-related.

I'm pretty sure that most celiacs who have candida also have Leaky Gut Syndrome, which can induce intolerances as partially-digested food sneaks through into the bloodstream where it's seen as a foreign invader.

Are you treating the candida overgrowth & on an anti-candida diet?

B12 may help some of those symptoms but as Tom says diet changes may help also.

Who gave you the candida diagnosis?

i did try the diet, wheat free, dairy free, gluten free...

i was on the phone with a dentist, or scientist from DAMS (dental amalgam mercury syndrome) and i told him about all the problems ive been through and the misdiagnoses, and just mentioned that my tounge always has a white coating on it and mentioned my almost always bloated stomach no matter how much i work out. he said that's candida. i told him i also went on a diet change for it and he said mercury can somehow cause the overgrowth.

Interesting. So, I was not alone in thinking that. :)

Dr.Klinghardt has a theory that the body produces candida in order to protect itself from mercury. We are complex creatures!

I think many of us would feel more optimistic for you if this said "I am on" instead of "I did try".

It takes time.

And sugar-free, yeast-free is a MUST for fighting candida.

The vision problems you describe sound an awful lot like ocular migraines. People don't always get a headache with these. When you say you tried the gluten-free diet do you mean for the a whole week or so or have you given it at least a couple of months? The diet will often get rid of these after a couple of months.

Also I would be really cautious about any medical person who says they can diagnose someone over the phone.

yeast isn't in every bread product is it? i can avoid sugar, and have, but i thought it's carbohydrates that fuel candida. and if that mercury/candida connection is true, i won't see true relief till the end of the month. so what can i do about the eye pressure and tinnitus that doesn't involve diets? no offense.

Ener-g makes a bread that is yeast free. Have you actually seen a doctor who has diagnosed you with candida? Are you still on the gluten-free diet or are you skipping from one diet to another? Whatever you are trying you need to stick with it for a couple of months before you start investigating others. If you are doing a whole bunch of stuff at once it is going to be really hard for you to tell what is working and you could be eliminating stuff without need because you aren't giving yourself time to heal. I hope your filling removal helps you but I am afraid your going to go through all the expense and discomfort and still not see any resolution.

I agree.

And if you are going to go through the removal process you need to be following a protocol prior to having the work done. I think Andrea wrote about this.

I did find vitamin B12, methylcolbamin, to be helpful with the dizziness I had and the ringing in my ears is gone though I wouldn't say it was because of the B12.

i don't understand why know one believes this could help. ive done all the work in my head and ive been to countless doctors and given countless diagnoses and drugs. ive found a reason for all of it, so why i can't i get some kudos?

besides i could be psychotic and would switching foods really help that? i am not saying i am psychotic but i do wonder sometimess, (ive been given anti psychotics. deep down my thought process was just fine, but my vision was still weird and creepy and i still had noise in my ears, which made me think i was crazy.)

besides i KNOW it won't cure my depression or anything, but i have read so much on how it mercury messes with people. my mom's friend had a friend with MS who got a lot of relief when she had her's removed. not that i have ms but...you know.

i guess mostly im dissapointed at how people who believe in diets, food allergies and msg couldn't throw a bone to a desperate guy. has anyone here gotten their fillings replaced?

I would get mine replaced if:

1. I had the money to do it

2. If my body was messed up

3. If they fell out (my mouth is full of them, sometimes my ear hurts, since I got a crown 8 yrs ago)

I have a good immune system that I don't want to get messed up by releasing the mercury (old saying-if it ain't broke, don't fix it). I know I have given my girls mercury and from their shots, so I am soon going to start them on oil pulling. They don't have any fillings. I want the mercury out of them before they start having kids-ages are 20/17. Both are allergic to wheat but not Celiacs. One dd has low glutathione levels which makes it hard to excrete mercury from what I heard on a video and several other minor symptoms. The other dd has a low metabolism which makes it hard to lose weight, could be caused by mercury. If I had the $$ I would have their mercury levels tested.

Did you get yours tested?

Deciding something is the cause is not the same thing as something being the cause.

I hope you discover that your decision is the correct one, and removing your fillings will solve your problems. If not, come back and discuss diets.

And yes, switching foods could help your psychosis

we've thrown lots of bones :) The most healthy answer to begin with is a strict gluten-free, whole-foods (not processed), balanced diet. Filling removal may help you to some extent but....if you're celiac, and you still eat gluten, filling removal or not, you'll still have "psychotic" thinking.....trust me.

do you guys think that it's a sign of weakness that im looking for all these cures?

anyways im thinking of buying this candida fighting stuff called Threelac, there's websites devoted to it, plus it should make my permamanent love handles go away, since im thinking it's just water (i work out a LOT).

anyone heard or used Threelac before?

Not remotely is it a weakness. But, are you celiac? are you on a STRICT gluten-free diet? I think that's what we're most concerned about at this time. Because without that, nothing else will really help you.

I think you really care about your health and others health too and are willing to try everything to feel normal. However, trying so many things at once could be a "shock" to your body. You gotta have patience. How will you know what works if you try several things at once? Listen to your doctor (if he is a good one). Have you been tested for mercury or heavy metals yet?

Don't give up ;) Those that persevere win the prize! Others on here feel better after a long road. Slowly healing.

No it is not a sign of weakness but you do have to be more patient with each thing you try. Were you ever diagnosed with celiac? Have you had a panel done? Are you still doing the diet?

Mr. Moore, you are not paying attention!!! Look at your postings and look at the number of people who have responded to your questions with information and support!!! You have been given a feast!!!

If you want people to simply agree with you then I suggest you find a site that specializes in mercury poisoning and everyone there will confirm that yes it is your fillings, sorry I don't know of any sites like that.

Here on this site, as you can tell, diet is understood as being enormously important. Many of us are thirty, forty and fifty ....years old and we have been ill for a long time. Many of us have tried to find one solution to our problems and have learned that there is not one solution.

What I hear you repeating is what pill will cure me? Am is wrong? Do you hope for one simple solution, as in have your fillings out and suddenly everything will be fine? If you persist in this kind of thinking then I sincerely hope having your fillings out will change your life BUT if that is not the case and you ever are prepared to change your diet then there is lots of information here.

As to Kudos, congratulations on figuring out that you are ill and that mercury is toxic and should not be in our bodies. :)

:(

I'm sorry it is such a struggle for you and I admire the effort you are making to try and figure out what you can do to help yourself. I genuinely hope that having the mercury out of your mouth makes a big difference.

I found that one of the things that really helped me was acupuncture and the funny thing is that the most helpful thing was simply lying still for one hour twice a week. I found that just lying still and following my breath helped to bring me a sense of ease in the midst of being in a lot of pain and distress. Perhaps you could try that, imagine that you are a stone sinking to the bottom of the river and your thoughts and sensations are like the river's surface rushing above you but you are still and calm deep below.

Have you heard of epsom salt baths? They are known be helpful in detoxing.

Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
