Yes! I've noticed their eyes, too! When I get glutened badly, my herpes simplex one (cold sore) virus acts up. The virus is in the nerves on one side of my face where I originally got the cold sore. The reactivation of the virus causes Bell's palsy. The Bell's palsy causes my eye lid and mouth to droop (I have a crooked, one-sided smile) and I have hearing problems (some degree of deafness) on that side, too. The virus is also in my eye on that side and has damaged my pupil. It looks permanently dilated. Unequal pupil dilation is a sign of drug abuse, so my doctors thought I was abusing my psychiatric medications. I wasn't. I was suffering from anticholinergic toxicity syndrome because, like you, they were trying to medicate something I didn't have. (And I do wonder if the virus reactivation also effects nerves inside my head.) There are several viruses that can cause Bell's palsy, including chicken pox. (Who hasn't had chicken pox?) Here's some reading material.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11459884 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702035 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12237590 Unfortunately I have severe gastrointestinal reactions to acyclovir and similar drugs used to treat viral outbreaks, but I've found mass doses of the amino acid lysine helps tremendously. Poor TinaE, we've hijacked your post. So sorry. Ravenwoodglass, it's been such a relief hearing that I'm not alone in these strange chain reactions of gluten. Bless you for sharing with me. -

I have wondered the same thing. Something I have noticed with myself and one of my children is that when badly glutened and reacting neurologically is that one eye will appear much smaller because the lid will droop. In my case it is the eye on the opposite side from the brain lesions. I find myself looking at pictures of the perpetrators and see many with this difference in eye size. Wondering if it may be a neuro impact in them. I see it often especially in young folks and then will read that they have psychiatric issues and are on meds. Those meds always made me worse because they were medicating something I didn't have. I do so wish they would screen routinely for celiac like they do in some other countries. Maybe we wouldn't have as unhealthy of a population, both physically and mentally, if they would test everyone but it is hard enough to get them to test even those of us with symptoms. I will be looking over your links later. Got called in to work today so not much time this morning. Thanks for the info. -

If you suspect celiac disease, consider asking your doctor for a simple blood test: http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/screening/ I hope you figure it out.
