Change her diet. Cut our sugar/ less carbs. Detox. Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut flushes out oxalates/crystals formed from decades of build up from diet w/ rich oxalates - Spinach, Rhubarb, Almonds and cashews
Grits, Baked potatoes with skin, Beets, Cocoa powder, Okra, Bran cereals and shredded wheat cereals, French fries, Raspberries, Stevia sweeteners
Sweet potatoes.
I had vertigo and prone to motion sickness until I cut sugar from my life.
I fully understand the trouble with oxalates, but how/where does sugar fit in? Can you please describe or send me a link showing the combination of the two making things worse?
It's just from my personal experience. I cut sugar /carbs from my diet and it hasn't returned in 5 years. I even went on a sail boat last Summer and was fine, no dizziness or motion sickness.
Things that cause water retention or fluctuations in pressure can cause the fluid imbalances in your inner ear semicircular canals. For people with episodic vertigo the doctors typically recommend a no CATS diet. Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, salt. Sugar I think should be added as it causes you to absorb more water.
Also don’t ever take a diuretic to deal with this issue. Some dr. are fucking stupid about this one but it just compounds your misery.
You need to balance your water retention not fucking dehydrate yourself.
Speaking of oxalates, here is some information on why taking extra magnesium is helpful. I learned this in connection with a bout of kidney stones. Not fun. A Ph.D. chemist colleague advised me to take supplemental magnesium to ward off kidney stones. It turns out that kidney stones are typically crystals of calcium oxalate. Magnesium has the same chemistry as calcium, only more so. This means that in a solution containing both calcium and magnesium, the oxalate ion will preferentially combine with the magnesium to produce magnesium oxalate. So what's the point? Magnesium oxalate is more soluble than calcium oxalate, will not form crystals, and will pass out with your urine.
That's for kidney stones. But if calcium oxalate is forming as crystals in one's inner ear, the same rational should apply to the benefit of taking supplemental magnesium: a more soluble oxalate should be formed, and maybe even promoting the dissolving of any calcium oxalate.
And there are other benefits to taking supplemental magnesium.
Oh, gosh. I never pay attention. I am currently taking "Nature Made" magnesium glycinate. Elemental magnesium is available as magnesium oxide, but it is better to take a magnesium-amino acid compound because that is more readily assimilated by the body. I think I have taken magnesium citrate in the past.
