Is vertigo common in GAPS patients? Will it improve on the GAPS programme?
Yes! Vertigo happens in many GAPS people because of toxicity in the brain altering the sensory perception. Another problem for these people is overproduction of histamine (many pathogenic species of microbes in the gut produce histamine). Excessive release of histamine drops the blood pressure down and causes vertigo, dizziness and fainting episodes. GAPS programme will change the gut flora, reduce histamine production and reduce the toxins reaching the brain.
