Sorry for the delay in my response. What I'm learning about salicylates is its ability to build up in the body from foods or medication. I'm not on any medication, but my diet had been high in salicylates. All healthy foods, like avocados, olive oil, spinach, etc... There also may be a link...

Foods that are low on Salicylates are meats, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, cabbage (and others on the low side), low carb tortillas, flaxseed meal, there's actually quite a bit of different foods you can eat. The foods most likely to have high Salicylates are vegetables, nuts, some oils, packaged...

After about 2 years of tinnitus, I'm starting to get quieter days and nights. This all started about 2-3 weeks ago when I decided to address an eczema outbreak that I believed was Salicylates related. Going through my diet I began eliminating all foods that were on the high and mid Salicylates...

As suspected, about an 1 1/2 hrs after waking - walking around, head clearing up - my T has become as quiet as it was last night. I'm siting in a silent room and can barely hear T.

Here's a follow up. This morning, I've noticed a bit louder ringing than last night when I wrote the post. However, after I got out of bed, showered, dressed, and had my first cup of coffee, the ringing started to become less noticeable. It's not as silent as last night, but overall better...

Yes, it may affect insulin sensitivity over time. I also do intermittent fasting (16/8) which help with Insulin Sensitivity and over that last few weeks (Other than Christmas) I haven't experienced weight gain - although it may take a long time to become insulin insensitive.

Yes, that's a good idea. Stevia is great, it's what they mix it with that can have negative effects. I understand that Erythritol is safe to use and doesn't effect insulin.

I recently started taking melatonin time release (10mg) at night to help with middle of the night waking up. I've been on it for about 3 weeks. It has helped quite a bit. I take it with 2 grams (2,000 mg) Vitamin C and water just as I'm about to drift off. An unexpected benefit I've noticed...

There have been several threads in the past mentioning whether allergies are related to some forms of tinnitus. I think there may be a correlation. My tinnitus seems to be more prevalent when I'm stuffed up and I could tell my eustachian tubes are inflamed. This brings me to my point of...

That's a good idea, I'm going to try that to clear my sinuses. Fortunately my T has usually been very mild - most noticeable at night - that's another reason I suspect inflammation link, since it's more time of day related and comes and goes in severity - which is how inflamation works as well.

I think mine is linked to inflammation as well. I've had some very quiet days a couple high-pitched days. I'm taking Curcumin and two doses of quercetin and bromelain daily - both are nature's anti-inflammatories. Along with Omega-3, Vit C. I've tried hot-sauce with meals to clear out my...

If it actually goes away when you are on vacation and stress plays a role. I would seriously consult with a Functional Medicine practitioner. It could very well be diet / nutritional related. Stress is the foundation for many conditions and nutrition plays a vital role on how your body reacts...
