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

mr. moore Explorer

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

if i was allergic to those you said i would of known by now. the only thing irecently was diagnosed with was candida overgrowth (white tounge, only carbs seem t have taste). i have cleaned up my diet though. only thing left is the...lol well thats a whole nother topic. i still need relief though. at least with the buzz in my ear. very hard to differentiate noises.

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!

yeah it s interesting but im still looking for relief at least with the vision. i heard Astaxanthin supplements would help but where do i find them? no one has it.

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.

mr. moore Explorer

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?

DingoGirl Enthusiast

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.

mr. moore Explorer

has anyone had success with any candida treatment besides the diet? (it seems harder than gluten free) mostly im talking about probiotics.

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

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. :)

well for me since i was like 13 i've had worsening brain fog and anxiety. so it's like, i have all this nervous energy, but im in such a confused state of mind i don't know what to d with it. ive tried meditation, excersizing, but i can't i feel so confused...

:(

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.

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless chocolate cake dedicated gluten-free it was out of this world.

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
