If you are suffering from Vertigo you may have been told by your doctors already that there is no treatment, I have been there, many of us have been there. In fact, I thought it was not Candida related in anyway as well until I started noticing the patterns.
Yes that is right, Candida also known as a yeast infection can cause many mishaps and one unusual one is that it can cause dizziness and vertigo. Great I thought because i had little known other candida symptoms at the time and i thought i was on top of everything.
If your case has a name well then that is great, however consider my words as something to ponder, did your doctor give you a diagnosis based on a real case of some type of vertigo or did they just want to get you out of the room because they do not know how to treat it. This is much the same with Vertigo as it is one of those things that doctors like to avoid. Yes positional vertigo can be treated i know doing all those exercises, they really do help, however what is triggering it exactly if it not so much positional.?
Well, this is what i worked out. For me It was one of those symptoms, rare on the Candida side but still a case of Candida none the less. What i did was try a few remedies and what i found was profound as well, a simple ginger and garlic tea gave me relief. Well how about that, a common remedy for yeast infections. I felt the connection there almost straight way so decided to go on a really strict Candida diet and drink the tea regularly. Well relief was within days. So to, that convinced me, when you go from a room spinning to having to lie down to feel balanced to almost back to normal in a couple of days it really has you thinking. What a connection.
Inspiring Story
Now here is another interesting story a couple years after my bout of Vertigo was gone, I accidentally stumbled upon a forum and one lady there had had Vertigo chronically for over 2 years, can you believe that, in fact she hardly even did anything, she could not socialize, could not drive properly, could not leave her house and certainly could not work. She was one of those victims, she was a healthy women with no issues and then bam woke up one morning and her life changed. The doctors could not help which is common with vertigo and had tried exercises but nothing helped. I felt so concerned by her amazing story, I wrote back to her post asking her did she consider it maybe Candida related. Well of all things, doctors did not even suggest it, makes me upset sometimes. Anyways, back to the story, she had not even known about candida or even considered it. She had basically spent thousands on tests and no avail and no solution.
I asked her to try this, stop drinking any forms of tea and coffee which she replied was not a problem and then daily drink a strong batch of ginger and garlic tea.. I told her to do it for two weeks and eat healthy and then reply back to see if it helped at all..
Well, it was one of those light bulb moments, ” bing “, where one could almost cry, not only had her Vertigo gone she could now drive and work and all the aspects that had gone for over 2 years in this women were basicallyback to normal. She was so happy that she said she would be a fan of this blog for life, but what made me happy more so than that was that i helped some one get on with there life where the loopholes of the medical society had slipped through.
So if you are a doctor or you know your doctor, do not forget to share this story with them. What may appear as a little thing can make the world of difference to many lives around the world.
And so, in answer to the question asked, it is a sure thing that Candida can very easily cause Dizziness and Vertigo and i am not putting a disclaimer on that either. Maybe not all forms of Vertigo are the same, however if it helps some that is what matters.
Share the word people, I appreciate the support.
I’ve been having dizzy spells and yes Dr says its vertigo it went away and came back I have to lay down and sleep for it to stop I’m going to try the ginger and garlic tea and pray this works because I can’t take this anymore.

Regarding vertigo there are quite a few inner ear diseases that can cause disabling episodes unrelated to candida.
Menieres disease, Tulio Phenomenon is hypersensitive hearing, whereas vertigo is triggered
by certain decibels by loud noise. Like sirens, power
tools, loud motors, trains, planes, lawn mowers, law grasswhackers, leaf blowers, fire crackers, explosions or gunfire can cause a severe vertiginous episode and lead to permanant deafness if ear plugs and head phones, or noise canceling devices are not worn..The delicate balance system is in your
inner ear, and anything changing the two fluid sacs of the perilymph and endolymph can cause tunnitus, (ringing in ear), dizziness or extreme disabling vertigo. Sodium, low salt diet ought to be implementef and avoidance of caffeine, and alcohol as well as all added table salt ceased to avoid permanant hearing damage. Also hormone imbalance,allergies stress, and barometric pressure from weather changes can also yrigger episodes, and no amount of garlic tea will change this. No balance exercises removing ear crysyals will help either. The Chinese have used ginger for centuries to remove or aid nausea associated with vertigo attacks. And Menieres patients can find great relief from the nausea by consuming ginger available in various forms.
Also brain, ear tumors can cause the same symptoms of vertigo and a m.r.i.should be done to rule out.
An Ear Nose and throat specializing in treating balance and Menieres disease can easily assist in diagnosis.
The ginger in the tea would definitely help but not permanantly solve the vertigo issue if its an inner ear problem..
The ginger only temporary effect of helping the nausea go away. Hence why airlines have been serving gingerale for decades for quesy, motion sickness related passengers. Bonamine or antivert, or meclazine have same effect but also have side effect of inducing sleepiness. So some Meniere’s syndrome patients will use to sleep off their nausea from the vertigo. Ginger has great effect of assisting to resolve the vertigo, with no side effect of drowsiness. Hence ginger tea, or dried ginger sold in various forms will help sufferers of nausea from vertigo greatly, but only temporarily. Will not cure an inner ear disease.
I’ve had Meneire’s for over 12 years and have been to over 12 “specialist” that know nothing or have 0 clue on how to help people like myself. Try anything and different alternatives because doctors have no clue what to do to help. If you can try this tea and it works, do it.
I’ve been using threelac for over 10 years to fight candida.I’ve also tried all the herbs that claim to fight colon vermin.None of those have worked and have cost me a fortune. Threelac is expensive up front bandit doesn’t work overnight.It usualy takes 2-3 weekss before you start feeling results.You can stop taking it but i;ll be back in 4-5 months. If you take one packet a day after it’s under control it will fight it’s return. Stay away from sugar as much as possible.
Oh I am so going to try this as my vertigo is not good at the moment. I have noticed that it gets worse when I do the “coconut oil mouth swish” and had to stop using coconut oil first thing in the morning.
Funny enough I have noticed that coffee makes it worse 🙁
Going to try the ginger and garlic tea as I am keen to be feeling healthy again and sleeping without waking up to vertigo episodes.
How do I make the tea solution?
Here is the tea directions I suggest – https://www.mycandidacleanse.com/ultimate-anti-fungal-tea-for-those-yeast-infections/
Regards,
Treelac wont work if you don’t follow a no sugar no junk food no yeast etc diet.
Tinnitus and vertigo are red flags for the fungal infection Disseminated Histoplasmosis, shed by bats in their feces.
Toxic mold exposure may also cause vertigo. Check for leaks.
I’ve had absolutely everything Candida-related for 40+ years!!! (Yes, you did read that right), including chronic tinnitus and vertigo which started in my teens … Still leading a miserable life at nearly 60 years old. All anti-Candida treatments/diets etc. have failed over the years and I have had to try and lead a ‘normal’ life around it all. Gave up work at age 23 (only able to do part-time anyway), got married and went on to have two children (10 years apart and with suffering Post-Natal Psychosis each time – the first time being hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital for two years!!) Struggled – and I mean struggled – through the last 30 odd years with no understanding from the medical profession and had every test under the sun!! Trained in various Alternative therapies myself and have mainly ‘self-helped’ over the years but nothing has ever totally eliminated the Candida or ‘Fibromyalgia’ (finally diagnosed about 15 years ago) – which I feel is almost one and the same – but seems to be the name the conventional medics prefer! I could write (and still intend to one day) a ‘War & Peace’ size book on it all … ‘My Nightmare Life’ … or something similar!
I’m 68. Started taking tetracycline 100mg 1-2 times a day to treat acne which the Dermatologists routinely did back then when I was 17. I’m not sure what they do now but they were destroying me and I was to young to challenge my confident doctor and parents telling me to listen and obey. By my late twenties even though I stopped taking antibiotics I was on a trajectory of life long problems as a result of over using antibiotics. The acne wasn’t even severe.
It’s all about the sugar. You must eat a diet very low in refined sugar and high glycemic foods. I found out the hard way. My main symptoms were dizziness becoming severe vertigo at times with would cause me to vomit. It feels like a severe hangover. The overgrowth in yeast in your body has a metabolism of their own and a byproduct is aldehydes. They act on your brain and cause the vertigo. It is awful.
I would use all kinds of substances to kill off the yeast. They include oregano oil extract, grapefruit seed extract, thyme oil, etc. You can use so many other things like garlic and coconut oil. There is a long list. The bottom line is you have to avoid the sugar.
I found the worst triggers were fruit, especially ripe watermelon which was like putting gasoline onto a fire. Refined sugar in prepared and packaged food is a no no. There are many lists online of food to avoid. Also you may be able to cheat here and there and you think you can get away with it but eventually you reach a threshold where the yeast takeover and you have a severe reaction like vertigo.
My life included many cycles of using substances to kill a lot of yeast, then restricting diet, listening to my body for hints of overgrowth and most of the time I could feel normal. I can remember going almost 2 years without overt symptoms. That’s when you start to cheat and have to start all over again. I went to many naturopathic doctors and even the emergency room one time. They were very little help. I also have to wonder how my liver is dealing with all the aldehydes. The liver may be cleaning my blood of aldehydes and I may mistake that as being symptom free but really my liver is helping me avoid the symptoms and possibly being damaged and stressed out combating the aldehyde toxins. I don’t know the long term consequences of that which might even be some kind of liver disease. Most of what I know and how I treat myself has come about from reading online and listening to my body and being mindful of cause and effect. Pay attention to how you eat, what you eat, and how you react which could be delayed. Vertigo may be the final expression of your body after all the cheating you do on your diet. It can take days, weeks , or months for your bad habits to yield symptoms.
I have had terrible dizziness/vertigo for 8 years now. All kinds of doctors and tests and no answers. I have always wondered if it is yeast. I know my diet isn’t the best but I am going to work very hard to see if it will help. The doctors just don’t care, they just keep sending me to other doctors. This problem is above their pay grade!! Any other suggestions would be appreciated as it has ruined my life. I can’t drive over 40 mph, can’t ride my horse anymore (I had to sell him) and have a hard time watching my grandchildren. I hate this and want my life back. Any help would be great!
