Is It Anything To Do With The Ear?

Since I got a virus last year I have had bouts of dizziness tinnitus and mild to average hearing loss in one ear since.

I did some tests and one definitely and one borderline result for balance being affected on my left side (also left ear only with problem).

So is there any chance this is Coelaic related, I am pretty sure there is no chance, but thought I would just throw it out there, haven't been following my diet at all, probably why I got sick, probably why I now most likely have permanent damage to my ear at 25.

At the end of the tests the lady says it's either the organ of your left ear itself, or the nerve inside the hearing tests and all the other stuff ruled out anything else. Coeliac does it? affect the inside of one of your ears surely does it?

I've read one of the symptoms is vertigo (which I started getting). Some people have more neurological and systemic issues than others. A nasty virus can trigger ear problems...you'll probably never know.

I have ear problems too. I have no idea if they are celiac related or not, but my ears are a constant source of discomfort for me. I have terrible balance issues too. My husband was just urging me today to see a doctor about the fact that I've had muffled hearing in my left ear since April. I go through this a lot, always have, so I'm just used to it. I never thought about it being related to celiac disease.

Its not the same - but before I went gluten free I had chronic middle ear infections and the Dr says they were definitely related - I had around 20 in ten years. Also vertigo can be linked to celiac as can nerve damage. There are over 300 associated symptoms - which is why alot of us find it difficult to be diagnoses!

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
