Vision Problems And Young People

Have any young people experienced an improvement in eye floaters after cutting out gluten? Or simply an improvement in vision quality.

 

Do you know of anything else that has helped?

I know this I angled at young people - which I am not (in my 40s) but since diagnosis and going gluten-free my night vision when I drive has definitely improved.  I told my optician who was at a loss but I was given a pretty heavy duty multivitamin to take when I was first recovering so maybe there was something in that.  I imagine certain vitamin deficiencies would be detrimental to one's eye health.

 

This seems an interesting link.

I still have floaters though... but I do seem to recall someone on this site said theirs went.

Oh, no, don't worry about it. I just posted here because I thought there might have been older topics of a similar nature found in different sections, but thank you for replying! Your input really does help.

Glad to have been of help.   :)

 

Just make sure that if you take any supplements they don't contain gluten!

Cristiana - you are another celiac with night vision problems when driving. Have you looked at the topic Celiac Night Vision? If there are other celiacs with night vision problems which do not respond to vitamin A puzzling their opticians and eye doctors we might get experts interested enough to investigate why!

I am admittedly in my second childhood, but had no floaters before or after going gluten-free

That is a very good point PCB... I should tag my next contribution so it appears when these experts search the net for answers.   I shall have a look.  Thanks.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
