I had very bad tinnitus. I also experienced ear-popping while on planes. On one occassion, it was quite excrutiatingly painful. I have not had the occassion to test whether or not I would still have the ear-popping since starting the candida diet. Nonetheless, my tinnitus seems to have improved tremendously. The last time I had the ringing in my ears was about a month ago! It will probably reoccur intermittently as I continue to heal...
