Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?

While this is not totally relevant to tinnitus even though certain foods can trigger it, I try to eat as gluten free as I can. But, beware of the ingredients in gluten free products as so many have sugar in them. Just be sensible and go ahead and have pizza occasionally if you want. I opt not to have many white flour products in my house but , if I want pasta, I will have it and it’s in my pantry. As for dessert, I have a piece of dark chocolate every night after dinner come hell or high water and don’t even want to know if it’s a trigger.

I know that too much coffee for me triggers an increase in tinnitus so, food wise, I try to think if something I ate today maybe triggered an increase(aside from my beloved chocolate).

And, yeah, you don’t have the same metabolism as you did back in the day so adjustments are necessary as long as you don’t go overboard and take the joy out of living.

Cheers

@imallears lifestyle has changed a whole lot it’s ok I do what I can.
My thing is weather I’m sure of it but can’t pin it down as to tinnitus. They say I have Menieres that’s why salt restriction. No pizza etc.
Graves’ autoimmune that’s why no gluten recommended. That’s been 10 yr now. I gave up on the no gluten but do eat whole wheat pasta etc. and also food I like too.
It can always be worse.
Joy in life …on a good day yes. A lot of alone time but it helps re stress I think.
Thanks for reaching out. Take good care. 🙂

@imallears
Little coffee, quit drinking & smoking a little pot years ago but I know a little pot would help in many ways but it’s illegal here.
Poor sleep patterns a key trigger. I fall asleep mid day sometimes & a nap triggers tinnitus too so it’s just a crazy life but yes I would love a break. Wouldn’t we all. Take good care.

Great info !!
Thanks,
