There was a recent post about magnesium supplement helping tinnitus.  I have
just purchased some, 250mg.  If magnesium is of any help, what would be the
dosage to do any good?

I cant tell you the dose, but will tell you to be careful with
magnesium.  Being on of the bodies crucial electrolytic elements, it
would probably not be to hard to muck up the system.

Thanks for the link and I'll be cautious.  Before I bought the tablets, I
tried a teaspoon of milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) twice a day for a
few days which is a different form from the tablets (magnesium oxide).  It
did not have a noticeable laxative effect, but I'll take one tablet, 250mg a
day for a while to see if there is any help.

Something triggers tinnitus and I have not figured out it what it is yet.
The trigger seems to be related to sweet desserts, apple pie, pecan pie
(very loaded with sugar), maybe ice-cream, or cheap carbs, cake, etc.  It
lasts for two or three days and diminishes if I eat low carbs and healthy
foods.  Oatmeal or protein, egg white and ham or cheese omelets) for
breakfasts do well.  I'll figure it out eventually, I hope.

I once posted an abstract here of a small study showing that a very low
calorie, very low carb diet reduced tinnitus very significantly.  It
sure helped mine quiet down from a loud persistent hiss to a negligible
whisper at almost all times, after antibiotics had rid me of the roaring
turbine I came here with.

Susan, that may very well be an answer.  My tinnitus is a persistent hiss
when it's there.  I recently have been following the principles of the South
Beach Diet...and carbs that are low on the glycemic list as a guide.

This noon time, I had a chicken salad roll with french fried potatoes.  I
usually avoid the fries but as a treat, I had them today. As I write this in
the evening, the hiss has picked up somewhat, but not too bad.

I am going to concentrate on the low-carb thought.....makes a lot of sense
based on my recent experiences.  I will report any meaningful observations
as time go along.

Hi Dave,
  I noticed when i ate sugars or carbohydrates, the ringing i have, would
get worse.
So, after much searching on the web, i came across a great diet that i
follow.  It is
in a yahoo group under Candidasupport group by Bee.  In the 'files' section
she has the foods that are allowed and foods to avoid.  I have found eating
a lot of garlic helps me also.

There are candida tests you can do also.  I did it and came out that i have
it.  I also
searched on google using 'candida tinnitus'.   All you do is spit in a glass
of water
first thing in the morning,   I would be curious of the results, if others
in this group, would
do the saliva spit test:

Good Luck and i hope this helps

Hi Dave,
  I have had a constant ringing & hissing for over a year.   One month on
this
diet and i have had a few days with QUIET.   I make my mayonnaise with the
light flavored olive oil (the regular olive oil was to strong of a flavor).
There's
a lot of reading in the files in that yahoo group.
        Good Luck,
             windy
