Very interesting Kim. I've been struggling w/an inner ear infection for the last few weeks. Started out as larangistis and then moved to an inner ear infection. On my second antibotic with no improvement. I've always had problems with my ears - tubes in a child, several ear infections usually twice a year but not this bad...
While researching it (getting ready to go back to the dr - again), I came across this information that seemed to connect w/yours although this is more serious than a normal ear infection but does make reference to Celiac & food allergies:
