Balance Disorders - The Link to Allergies and Food Intolerance

Simply defined, a balance disorder is a disturbance that will cause a person to feel unsteady, nauseous or to have the sensation of moving while standing still. The four most common types of the condition are Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular neuronitis and perilymph fistula. All of these problems have some sort of adverse effect on the inner ear and surrounding areas.

Like the former conditions, allergies and intolerance's can adversely effect the inner ear and surrounding areas as well as many other parts and functions of the body. Symptoms of allergies and intolerance's can sometimes be very similar to those of balance disorders.

Allergies and intolerance's can have an incredibly wide range of effects depending on the person and situation. Allergies and intolerances may show up as a skin or respiratory condition. They may cause headaches, hearing loss, fatigue, behavioral problems and anxiety. Allergies and intolerances are known to irritate or cause certain diseases or illnesses.

In fact, allergies and intolerances are known to be the base for many diseases and common conditions. For example, Meniere's disease has been linked to allergies and intolerances. Coeliac disease, Crohn's disease and some kidney diseases are also related to allergies and intolerances. Those who suffer from Meniere's disease or another non specified balance problem could very likely have allergies or intolerances that irritate their underlying conditions. The allergies or intolerances may even have been the start of their balance disorder problems. If a person has an allergy or an intolerance that may be causing the condition, the problem must be addressed and dealt with immediately or permanent damage may occur.

If a person has a balance disorder and they think that an allergy or intolerance is irritating or causing the problem, there are measures that person can take to find out what is causing the reaction in their body. If a person is unsure what they are allergic or intolerant to, that person can seek a medical professional for testing or they can try to figure it out on their own. Medical testing is usually the safest route to take as some agents you may react to adversely when exposed to one day and have no reaction to the second day. A medical professional may be the best option for anyone who is suffering from allergies, intolerances and a balance disorder all at once.
