How To Treat Endolymphatic Hydrops

Lower Salt And Sugar Intake

A balanced diet is the best way for individuals to make sure their body is getting the nutrients it needs without the ones it doesn't. Patients should talk to a doctor or nutritionist about the unique needs that come with endolymphatic hydrops. Most medical professionals recommend lowering sugar and salt intake if the individual in question doesn't already follow a strict diet. Many snacks, fruit juices, sodas, and processed meals have extremely high levels of salt and sugar. Patients should avoid foods with added sugar and added sodium. 

It may also be helpful to cut out foods with large amounts of trans fats and saturated fats, and to avoid ingesting foods with many chemical preservatives. A little sugar and salt is fine; in fact, both of these things are necessary to an individual's energy levels and overall function of their body. But too much can cause bloating, weight gain, irregular energy fluctuations, illness, and more buildup of fluid in their ears. Salt should be lowered because it causes fluid retention, which can lead to further fluid fluctuation in the inner ear.
