I saw a vestibular therapist who did the Eply Maneuver on me. It is a simple head movement that a professional needs to do to you so that it is done properly. If it's not done properly, it won't help. Good luck.

I've been on a Candida diet without incident due autoimmune issues. A month ago I gave in and started introducing breads (regular & GF) and a bit of sugar and then the vertigo returned.
A lady selling fresh breads at the local farmers market suggested avoiding 'enriched' breads specifically the 'potassium bromide that is seeming to be a culprit causing health issues. Back to the wheat free diet.

It's a simple head movement yet a professional needs to do it? No. A professional should identify that it is BPPV, which is most likely when having vertigo symptoms. Then determine which head movement you need if it is BPPV, There are three types of head movements, the most common of the three being Epley Movement.

Afterward do not look down for 24 hours. It's hard to remember so use a neck brace or wrap a rolled up towel around your neck using a pin asa clsp to keep it there. It will help remind you not to look down. Repeat Epley Maneuver every day or every other day.
