Gastro element to Meniere's?

I personally do not, however they say the gut is the second brain...there could be some sort of correlation.

 

There certainly can be a connection between gut health and MD. Is there definitely a connection? Who knows? I think doctors a still trying to figure out all of the benefits of gut health and how it correlates to overall body health.

 

Harvard says there's nothing definitive on the much-touted gut-mind connection of the last decade. Probiotics etc. Yogurt and probiotic pills did nothing for my MM. (Obviously, on a separate subject, eating junk makes you feel bad.) But as far as a stomach-bacteria-brain connection, the jury is very much still out in the rain on a smoke break.

What sucks about Meniere's and the stomach, is how at the beginning of a spinning attack, many of us have to try to stumble our way to the bathroom with sudden upset stomach. And if we don't make it, it'll be a seriously icky 12 hours in bed.

 

Neurologists at research institutions are studying how the microbiome can drive or affect auto-immune disorders and a variety of chronic illnesses. I think there likely is a connection, but it will be some time before more good information is available to all of us.

 

Hi, I have always suffered from an ordinary digestive system so who knows - it may very well be. I haven't looked into it though. With MD I have come to realise that anything is possible. Doctors don't really know much more than we do as it's not an extensively researched condition. Good luck with it all and sorry I couldn't be of more use.

 

I have celiac, another auto immune deal, and am lactose intolerant so who knows ? Maybe some correlation but doctors have no clue
Plus hypothyroid to really rock the boat

 

I know reflux can affect ears. One of the first things de derebery did was look for that. I do have reflux but i do not think it was considered a factor. Allergies were definitly a factor and also virus.

 

Joney, your post made me laugh. As a male, I 'm pretty darn sure that
the "second brain" is not located in the gut.

On the serious side, I've never noticed any connection associated with my
food-processing innards. I have, at times experienced bouts of vertigo
accompanied by a stomach flushing (yeah, the D word).
