Symptoms Of Dark Circles Under Eyes


Deano12

Recommended Posts

Deano12 Rookie

I have been diagnosed with celiac a few weeks ago, and I have been on a gluten free diet since. I have noticed I have had symptoms of the dh rash over the last year, anxiety/depression and the skin under my eyes becoming hollow and sunken in, also dark circles have developed. Since going gluten free I noticed the skin under my eyes is not improving if not getting worse. Is this a sign that I may be allergic to another food which I do not know about?  I am also on medication called dapsone to calm down the itching and reduce immflamation of the rash

My dark circles are genetic, I got them from my dad. As far as gluten and other foods triggering them to worsen, I will be paying attention to see if there is a correlation! I certainly notice the dark circles more after a severe allergy/asthma attack so , I really am curious to figure this out!

Raccoon eyes and a crease in the nose are often signs of allergies. It can be genetic too or related to the damages of celiac disease. Be patient, it takes time to heal!

I agree. It may take some time for those circles to go. I do recall that my friend's son had dark circles from a dairy intolerance.

 

Perhaps if you removed diary for a bit to see if that is a cause? Hang in there.

 

The healing process is slow, but steady and you need to give your body some time to rebound.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
