Three Worst Most Dangerous Foods for Vertigo, Dizziness and Balance Problems (do NOT eat these)
Summary
TLDRIn this informative video, the speaker discusses the three worst foods for individuals suffering from vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues: gluten, dairy, and sugar. Drawing from over 20 years of experience and research, the video explains how gluten can exacerbate autoimmune conditions and inflammation, dairy can cross-react with gluten due to molecular mimicry, and sugar can contribute to insulin resistance and inflammation. The speaker emphasizes the importance of working with a knowledgeable doctor to address these dietary factors and uncover the root causes of vestibular disorders.
Takeaways
- 🌾 The worst food for vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems is gluten, which is commonly found in wheat.
- 🛡️ Gluten can exacerbate autoimmune conditions, potentially leading to inflammation in the inner ear and causing vertigo or dizziness.
- 🚫 Gluten-free diets are often recommended due to the food's inflammatory effects, even for those without a diagnosed autoimmune condition.
- ⚠️ Gluten can cross-react with other foods, particularly dairy, due to molecular mimicry, which can trigger similar immune responses.
- 🥛 Dairy products, including milk from cows, sheep, and goats, are the second worst food for these conditions due to their cross-reactivity with gluten.
- 🍬 The third worst food is sugar, as it can contribute to insulin resistance, which is often linked to inflammation and can worsen vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues.
- 🍫 High sugar intake can lead to spikes in blood sugar, which are inflammatory and can affect the processing of signals from the inner ear.
- 🏥 It's important to work with a doctor who understands the connection between diet and vestibular disorders to get a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan.
- 🧬 Autoimmune problems and inflammation are common underlying causes of vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems, and dietary changes can help manage these conditions.
- 🍽️ Eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar from the diet may help alleviate symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems, but it's not a guaranteed solution.

Q & A
What are the three worst foods to eat if you have vertigo, dizziness, or a balance problem according to the video?
-The three worst foods to eat are gluten (specifically wheat), dairy products, and sugar.
Why is gluten considered the worst food for individuals with vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Gluten is considered harmful due to its association with autoimmune conditions, causing general inflammation, and its potential to cross-react with other substances like milk.
How does gluten potentially contribute to autoimmune conditions affecting the inner ear?
-Gluten can exacerbate inflammation associated with autoimmune conditions, which may lead to an autoimmune attack on the inner ear, causing vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance.
What is the connection between gluten and inflammation in non-autoimmune conditions?
-Eating wheat can temporarily cause a hyper-leaky gut, promoting inflammation throughout the body, which can affect the inner ear and lead to dizziness or vertigo.
Why are dairy products considered the second worst food for those with vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Dairy products are problematic due to their cross-reactivity with gluten; antibodies for gluten can also stick to proteins in milk, causing inflammation and exacerbating symptoms.
What proteins in milk are responsible for the cross-reaction with gluten?
-Proteins such as casein and butyrophilinins in milk are responsible for the cross-reaction with gluten.
How does sugar contribute to vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which in turn causes high blood sugar levels and inflammation. This inflammation can affect the inner ear and contribute to the symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance.
What is insulin resistance and how is it related to vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Insulin resistance is a condition where the body's cells do not respond to insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. This can cause inflammation, which has been linked to exacerbating symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems.
Why might eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar not completely solve vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Eliminating these foods may help, but there could be other metabolic issues or underlying conditions that also need to be addressed, such as autoimmune problems or gut health.
What is the advice given for individuals with chronic vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems regarding seeking medical help?
-The advice is to find a doctor who understands the connection between food sensitivities, inflammation, and the vestibular system, and who knows what tests to order and how to interpret them to get a comprehensive understanding of the patient's case.
What role do cyto-kinds and chemo-kinds play in the inflammation related to vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems?
-Cyto-kinds and chemo-kinds are immune system messengers that, when present in high amounts or distributed asymmetrically, can change how nerve circuits work, potentially affecting the processing of signals from the inner ear and contributing to symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance.
Outlines
🚫 Avoiding Gluten for Vertigo and Balance Issues
The first paragraph discusses the negative impact of gluten on individuals suffering from vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems. The speaker, with over 20 years of experience, highlights that gluten, primarily from wheat, can exacerbate these conditions, especially in those with autoimmune disorders. Gluten consumption can lead to inflammation in the inner ear, potentially causing or worsening symptoms like dizziness or vertigo. The speaker also mentions that gluten can cause a 'leaky gut,' further promoting inflammation. Gluten's cross-reactivity with other foods, such as milk, is also touched upon, suggesting that a strict gluten-free diet without considering cross-reactive foods may not be fully effective.
🥛 The Dairy-Gluten Connection in Vertigo Management
The second paragraph delves into the cross-reactivity between gluten and dairy products, emphasizing that even a gluten-free diet might not alleviate vertigo symptoms if dairy is still consumed. The speaker explains that antibodies produced in response to gluten can also react with proteins found in milk, such as casein and butyrophilin, which can mimic gluten's effects and continue to cause inflammation. This inflammation can affect the inner ear's function, leading to persistent vertigo or dizziness. The paragraph also addresses common misconceptions about organic or pasteurized milk and alternative milk sources like goat or sheep milk, clarifying that they all contain the problematic proteins.

Transcripts
hey everyone in today's video I'm going
to be talking about the three worst
foods to eat if you have a vertigo
dizziness or balance problem so if you
have something like bbbv or Minier
disease or vertigo or disiness that no
one seems to know what's causing it I
think you're going to like this
video all right so I base this list off
of two things number one my 20 plus
years of experience dealing with these
kinds of cases and number two what the
research literature shows so without any
further Ado let's kind of get into the
list so number one the worst food you
can eat if you have a vertigo dizziness
or balance problem is gluten now if I
say gluten what I'm really saying is
wheat right now to be technically
technical uh gluten is sort of a a
catch-all term but there's things
there's certain fractions of wheat like
gadin and Alpha gadin and uh there's
wheat germal glutenin but basically what
it boils down to is wheat is a problem
why is it a problem well there's three
big reasons number one is uh wheat or
gluten is generally a problem when
someone has an autoimmune condition I
mean I use gluten-free diets all the
time now how does autoimmunity relate to
having a vertigo disness or balance
problem well uh in the inner ear uh you
can have inflammation in your inner ear
uh you can have an autoimmune attack on
your inner ear but that's not that
common what's more common at least what
I've seen in my 20 years is that someone
will have an autoimmune problem and
those are inflammatory and one of the
kind of collateral damaged side effects
of that is the inflammation goes a lot
of different places and that
inflammation those cyto kindes and chemo
kinds can disturb what's going on in
your inner ear make you have dizziness
or vertigo or imbalance and gluten is
pretty much the worst food you can eat
if you have an autoimmune problem uh
pretty much Bar None So that's reason
number one number two reason gluten is a
problem for vertigo disiness imbalance
problems is just general inflammation uh
whether you're autoimmune or not uh
research has shown that when you eat
wheat it temporarily causes a hyper
leaky gut and without going too much
into that what that means is it's going
to promote inflammation and most people
feel better just in general whether
they're sick or or have any type of
vertigo problem uh if they go
gluten-free now I'm not telling you you
should go GL gluten-free I'm just trying
to explain what the what the reasoning
is so first reason why gluten is a
problem is autoimmunity in general kind
of Fanning the Flames of that second is
nonautoimmune inflammation and Fanning
the Flames of that because the
inflammation goes everywhere and for
some people it lands in their ear and
can distort uh not only make swelling
and that kind of things happen in the
inner ear but distort the processing of
signals because all neurons have what we
call cyto kind receptors and cyto kindes
these immune system Messengers when you
have a lot of them or asymmetrical
distribution of them they can literally
change how certain nerve circuits work
especially those that process
information from your inner ear now the
third reason uh glutenous as a problem
is it crossreacts with a lot of
different things so that brings us to
number two so we talked about cross
reaction cross reaction occurs when the
antibodies for one thing can stick on
another thing because they are
molecularly similar antibod is just like
a little Post-It note that your immune
system makes to stick on to something
but the problem is um there's can be
what we call a a molecular mimicry or
epitope similarity and all that means is
is that the antibody for one thing okay
can stick onto another thing uh because
they look very very similar right even
though they're not the exact same thing
and the number one food that does that
with gluten and wheat is milk so milk or
dairy products milk products are the
number two of the three wor foods you
can eat have a chronic vertigo dizziness
or balance problem because of cross
reaction and I know I've seen a lot of
patients over the years that say well
you know I tried a gluten-free diet for
a few weeks well that's not going to do
it number one or they had a gluten-free
diet but they were still eating uh milk
products and I've lost count of how many
cases where we've got them to finally
get rid of the milk products and whoop
that seem to be the key and the key is
the cross reaction so what that means is
is you could be on a gluten-free diet
but if you're still eating milk products
uh to your immune system it's like
you're still eating gluten or like
you're eating uh basically the same
thing as gluten and it can fan the
Flames of inflammation now a lot of
people always ask well what about if
it's uh organic or what about if it's
you know unpass
that's not what the deal is there are
proteins in milk that are the problem
there's casin there's
Butlins and those don't matter those
don't change whether it's organic or
pasteurized and then people say what
about if I have yogurt well there may be
a little bit less of those proteins but
they're still there what about uh what
about sheep or goats milk they all have
those same proteins yes goat milk and
sheep milk might be a little bit easier
to digest but we're not talking about
that we're talking about an immune
system reaction to the proteins inside
the dairy products now also uh when I
say Dairy I don't mean eggs I mean cow's
milk cow sheep goats milk all right so
we talked about gluten we talked about
dairy products and the third worst food
you can eat if you have a chronic
vertigo disbalance problem is sugar now
why sugar well because over the last 20
years secondary to like having an
autoimmune problem being the cause of
your chronic vertigo digus imbalance
problem the second most common thing
I've seen be a major factor in that is
insulin resistance so insulin resistance
is when uh you have high blood sugar and
you can't get it in your cells now
insulin resistance can happen for a lot
of different reasons and I won't go into
that right now I just want you to know
that people that are eating a large
amount of sugar simple sugars uh sugary
drinks or eating you know sweets and
candy and stuff like that uh those
people tend to have more problems with
insulin resistance I've had many cases I
mean many cases over the years with
Minier for example that had an UND
diagnosed or an uncontrolled type 2
diabetes and when we got a hold of that
the maner symptoms went away or it was a
huge factor in getting them Miner
symptoms to go away why is that well
because high blood sugar is inflammatory
that's the third or fourth time I've
mentioned inflammation and uh when you
have a big spike in your blood sugar
because you are insulin resistant and
the insulin is your body is not
responding to the insulin's uh command
which is to suck sugar into the cells
when that doesn't happen the sugar hangs
out and that's inflammatory and plus the
spike and blood sugar that comes with
that brings an inter Lucan six which is
a cyto kind along with it so being
insulin resistant is uh inflammatory and
really can contribute to vertigo diges
imbalance problem so what that means is
if you got one of those problems and you
find yourself you know you're drinking
alcohol which is liquid sugar or you are
eating simple carbs a lot right or
you're eating lots of um do have to be
candy but you're eating like a lot of
grains that are like you know simple uh
that could be a problem right because
that can provoke the inflammation I was
talking about so I've mentioned all
those foods and yeah you could probably
eliminate those if you have a vertigo
dis or balance problem and and maybe
you'll get better but that's that's like
just the diet side of things very often
people that have these uh food
contributors to their vertigo distance
and balance problem they got other
metabolic things happening so you're not
really going to probably hit a home run
just avoiding those things I've
mentioned but I did want to make the
video so you could understand that there
are some things you can do that are
going to help but ultimately you're
going to have to work with someone that
can do it all right work with a doctor
who understands the connection between
gluten and dairy and inflammation and
all that kind of stuff with the
vestibular system and knows what kind of
tests to order to do a good job right to
kind of step back and get the big
picture and uh kind of put the puzzle
pieces together and find out what's
what's going on in a particular
patient's case so make sure you're
working with someone that knows what
test to order how to interpret those
tests and then what are you going to do
about it because believe me if you've
got a gluten sensitivity uh getting rid
of the food getting rid of the gluten is
one way to to deal with it but sometimes
there's things that you have to do with
the gut if you have an autoee problem
there's a lot of things you have to do
for that you got to do uh you should do
lympocytes
uh if your doctor knows what to do so if
you got a chronic vertigo disbalance
problem I would definitely think about
avoiding those Foods and find a doctor
that understands all those other things
we were just talking about all right
I'll see you next
time
