What Is The Meniere's Disease Diet?

Food And Drink To Consume

The best food and drink to consume for an individual with Meniere's disease are those with limited simple sugars and low sodium. Foods with complex sugars instead of simple sugars that are better to consume are raw nuts, fresh beans, lentils, whole grains, sweet potatoes, and brown rice. Food and drink known to be natural diuretics are great to help reduce fluid retention in the body. Natural diuretics include fresh asparagus, ginger, beets, fresh watermelon, fresh lemons, nettle leaves, cucumbers, fresh mint leaves, fresh peaches, fresh pineapple, and cilantro leaves. When an individual eats food they should be consuming an equal amount of water or other caffeine-free fluids. Having an equal distribution of food and fluids helps manage levels of inner ear fluid. In addition, dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, plantain, arugula, chard, and turnip greens should be readily consumed for symptom reduction. Fresh meat without additives is also okay to consume, however, individuals with Meniere's disease should be diligent not to eat any processed meats.
