White Spots On Eyes

Hi,

I've yet to be diagnosed (awaiting biopsy results) but I seem to have many celiac/gluten intolerance symptoms - they are on a separate post if you're interested.

The reason for posting today is that I had a routine eye check up. My vision is 20/20 but the optician did say they she could see white spots on my cornea. She doesn't necessarily think this is a cause for concern but has forwarded the results to my GP to help with diagnosis. So my question is - could this be related to gluten or completely unrelated?

One thing I noticed in the test is that it takes me about 5 seconds to focus with one eye when switching eyes - but I think this is just due to fatigue.

Many thanks.

It may be but I would ask for a refferal to an eye specialist, an MD (I can never think of what they are called) to check this out.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
