So reduce or avoid:
1. Salt (because it retains fluids)
2. Caffeine
3. High sugar foods
4. Diary *due to milk protein avoid old cheese but also fermented food in general
5. Gluten
what about consuming water with electrolites?

Now I wanna share my story because I thin it might help others too: I had losing my balance for almost 20 years and it happened every single day and even lying in bed felt dizzy or sitting on a chair dizzy and losing balance and I had also vertigo episodes and docs didn `t know what I have (they said maybe its neuro vegetative but u don t have meniere or other things), until I got to endocrinology and there asked for blood tests so this way I found out my D3 (OH-D) levels were way under normal range and guess what: since I have started after 2-5 months started to feel much better (my dizziness, losing balance and vertigo episodes were accentuated by my low level of ferritin, but still with Ferritin level low I am so much better now and very rare, once at few years I might have vertigo episode (when I am super tired and also breath cold air), losing balance still have it but very rarely, only when I am tired and dizziness the same when I am tired and breathing cold air, so in the winter have to avoid cold, so I put many layers and protect my nose from cold air; but I am much, much, much better and I am supplementing witth D3 every single day 2000 UI or 5000 UI 2 days apart- I have to mention that I also do not expose myself to the sun at all so my vit D3 is still at the minimum level but in normal range).

Thank you so much! You have been helping our family!

[Arcturus]

Thank you for the very sound advice. I just went to the ER this week and found out it was my vertigo due to taking Metoprolol for blood pressure as well as having coffee which am now giving up after forty plus years of enjoying. Now i will be enjoying the memories while looking for a healthy alternative.

Take care and happy new year.

Your exercises for dizziness I saw in another video worked out right away for me. The other people’s videos only show maneuvers to move salts, but that is not my problem.
Dizziness is a Horrible felling and I thank you for help me so fast.

I eat all of the bad things. Yikes! Tough love. Thanks,

Totally eliminating all caffeine has made a significant difference in keeping at bay my previous incidents of vertigo. Yes, salt and sugar and dairy are also factors not to eliminate, but to really, really keep to a minimum. But I disagree with gluten. Sure, some people have an adverse reaction like they do with nuts, especially peanuts. However, I mill my own flour and bake my own whole wheat bread keeping white flour to a minimum. Vegetables are key along with some fish and chicken. But bread in moderation (a lot of calories!) and chickpeas that I also soak and cook (never canned). Whole, unprocessed food and lots of water AND eating small quantities. Eat to live, not live to eat.

Thank you Dr Jon! This came up on my feed at the exact right time!

[jimmack]

Does ringing in the ear, have similar causes? thanks.

[eugeniabuitron]

I see now I can't eat certain things anymore...I would rather do without them to prevent the dizziness from my neck issues. Thank you doc for this information!!

[maryhouston]

Thank you Doctor. This information is very helpful

[JanetElevating]

I’m going to eliminate coffee starting tomorrow morning! I can’t anymore with this dizziness plus it makes me so irritated!! I use to be able to drink and enjoy it, now it’s pure addiction and I’m not enjoying it

Should Vertigo patient take green tee or not?

[maggiemay]

I totally eliminated gluten and all grains in general. Didn’t help. I gave up caffeine for a long time because I don’t sleep well but lately I’ve been having some and it doesn’t seem to increase the lightheadedness. I switched to an almost carnivore diet and that seemed to help a lot but it’s boring and my stomach didn’t like it. I’ve been modifying it to try to be able to see what I have to avoid to make it help and continue on it. I also never go out in the sun without dark glasses and a visor because I recently realized that often I’m fine in the house but as soon as I step outside in the sun my balance is all off. I haven’t been able to give up dairy products yet because I’m addicted and they’re a large part of my diet. 😢 I also happen to have a meningioma that hasn’t grown since it was discovered 3 years ago, but I’m wondering if that could be causing an issue.

Especially processed salt, which is stripped of minerals. This creates a systemic imbalance... likely why people get salt cravings, but fail the craving with junk processed salt.

Sea Salt / Hym salt has a much larger content of minerals.

It's funny how your list by now should be elementary knowledge, but Marketing still fools people.

Great list, and adding more details why.

I've been struggling with dizziness/lightheadedness and balance issues for just over a year now and still don't know what's going on. I was diagnosed with IBS a few months ago but that's all so far. Cutting out gluten and wheat has helped my stomach pains and getting lactose free dairy seems to not leave me feeling sickly like regular lactose dairy. Is it advised I ditch even lactose free dairy? After about 7/8 years vegetarian I reintroduced fish because my vitamin D came back as being low and I also recently started eating meat again but I make sure it's organic and grass fed. I noticed that being mostly paleo (with the exception of rice and lactose free dairy) has put a stop to my low blood sugar issues as I'm eating the right kinds of carbs now to better regulate my blood sugar.

It's just so hard to cut out dairy given how much of a staple food it is and how useful it is especially when I'm not someone who has the patience required to cook from scratch.

[susanstumpf]

And how do I determine what is causing my slight dizziness?

[sfsaid]

It means that the patient of Vertigo should not take milk and its product..am I right sir?
