Ohh this is going to get a "SPAM!" for sure.
But anyway... for you frequent gum chewers, or those of you who are cavity prone, or those would like not to be....
do a little research on...
XYLITOL
Actually I liked this page a lot.. lots of info here.
I've been reading about it for a couple hours now and its VERY interesting.
My search started with a google search for
ear infections allergies
I've had this tinnitus which I
thought was caused mostly by my head hitting the concrete awhile ago (freak skateboarding accident.) but then today, out of the blue my other ear starting ringing & I had NO HEARING in that ear for like 10 minutes... only the ringing. Spooky.
Anyway.. I have a feeling it all has to do with allergies/mold/bacteria or something. I've been having really bad allergy problems for like 3 years now. Seeing allergist tomorrow.
Anyway... read aobut Xylitol, its interesting.
Probably a good thing to read about if you have kids too.
