A grain-free diet is not the same as a diet for Celiac disease. ... Where the gluten-free diets are only suggested to people with the autoimmune disease ...

Good article and even has medical studies linked at the bottom. I do have a few things to comment about


" Constantly eating foods that are high in calories and low in nutritional value is also a form of food addiction which many of us have. According to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition grain-free foods do not cause addiction. "  >.< I find grain free foods more addicting then I EVER found gluten treats. They are much more, filling in the mouth and stomach. AND BEST PART no cramping or filling very sick and bloated after.  >.> but this might be my celiac and UC, eating gluten foods in the past was fine before DIA and they were good...but I could never eat very much of them and no matter how they tasted they always made me tired afterwards. I also used to consider vomiting after a meal "normal"  (never made the connection back then)

" One of the most recent discoveries in gluten-free dieting was the effect on the mental health of the person and found that such a diet can be helpful in epilepsy, seizures, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. "
VERY true since I dropped all grains and carbs back in February, my mental health and MUCH improved I hardly ever have to use my vape pen, CBD oil, etc. Now days. I used to have to every day, and suffered anxiety attacks. This could also be due to increasing cocoa nib, and seed intake of foods to reduce stress.
 

"Going grain-free has been proven to be particularly good with people suffering from poor digestion or digestive disorders such as the leaky gut syndrome, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and other gastrointestinal issues.

Cutting off grains from the diet might also help you in relieving the symptoms that come with such digestive issues such as those ofOpen Original Shared Link – inflammation, headaches, fatigue, nausea, weight gain, and complications related to the skin."

Again my digestion is much more regulated, and my UC is much better, but I also cut out sugars, starches, and carbs,

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
