Vertigo

I have not had vertigo in years. Glutened myself on Monday, woke up today with vertigo. It's only bad when I move certain ways. If anyone else gets this, how long does it last for you?

I feel like cursing I am really mad about this symptom I guess because it wasn't expected.

I'm just wondering, have you had vertigo linked with gluten in the past?

 

The trouble with vertigo is it has many different causes, including gluten.

 

I only ask as I had a type of vertigo that I attributed to gluten cc that went on for months and it turned out it was cervical dizziness caused by an old whiplash injury.  

 

I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences but if it goes on get it checked out.  If it isn't gluten something like BPPV could be easily remedied.

i had vertigo before i was diagnosed.  like, i couldn't even drive without having an anxiety attack.  it has since disappeared, so i am chalking that up to the celiac as well as so many other (seemingly unrelated) symptoms.  i had it checked out at the emergency room and followed up with my g.p. who referred me to an ear, nose & throat specialist who told me my ear canals were inflamed and blocking the fluid in my middle ear.  he said it must be from allergies and put me on claritin.  it got better, but i couldn't stand on a chair or ladder and i had to compose myself before ascending any stairs.  since i have been gluten-free, my balance is back to normal.  

 

so, if you're worried, have it checked out (i did)(it's scary) but it could possibly be from gluten.  (i have often thought that if gluten causes inflammation, it could have swelled up my ear canals??  who knows...)  just glad it's gone!  i hope you feel better :)

The vertigo only lasted a little while. I have felt some dizziness, but not the spinning sensation since then. Now I am having edema, but only stage 2. Thanks for the replies!

Eta- I was having a sharp pain in my ear. I always get ear pain from gluten, I can't even get a q-tip in my ear it hurts so bad. It is never usually a sharp pain though, so that took me by surprise.

Has this resolved for you? I had a horrendous cold earlier this month. At the end I had horribly plugged ears...since that cleared I've had lightheadedness every day. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow. It is frustrating and anxiety producing. I've read about labyrinthitis which is an inner ear swelling that causes this type of thing and it often comes on after a cold. So...2 weeks later I'm still hoping for it to go away. It is not as severe now as when it started. I do have an appointment next week with an ENT. I hope it resolves before then!

How are you now Iceland girl? My resolved in about a week. I had vertigo once before going gluten free and it lasted four weeks. It was awful. The doctor gave me head exercises to do, which cleared it up.

It is almost gone and I'm so thankful. One thing that still seems to bring it on is large stores...done know if it's all the lights or what. I'm thinking it was something related to that cold...Some kind of swelling. Very uncomfortable. I'm so glad yours resolved!

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
