It has been observed that people opt for a gluten free diet despite not being diagnosed by celiac disease to perhaps improve their digestive systems.

I don't know if my husband would be labeled a gluten-free trend dieter, but I don't view him as such. He can eat gluten, but since my symptoms are so extreme we removed it and corn another intolerance entirely from the home. Including his beer he drinks Daura Damn.

My son has my issues as well that revealed themselves after we removed the items from my diet post gluten challenge. I often made one dinner free of all my intolerances and quickly the symptoms manifested when he was exposed to those foods. It showed on his skin as well.

My daughter is gluten-free in the house since we had to remove it. She has eaten it a few times this year away from home, but determined after a Halloween pizza party it is problematic. She was home sick for 3 days after utterly fatigued with headaches (two of my many symptoms) no other cold/virus symptoms. The few times before she felt a bit off but didn't want to assume gluten. This last time she said she knew. She determined the prior times it was one piece of pizza and she was a bit off just thought she was tired, this last time she consumed pizza and pretzels and knew.

One thought is maybe some may live with a celiac or NCGS loved one in a completely gluten-free household. They adhere to the diet strictly for a few months etc then for work or social event eat gluten on a night out away from home.

My husband did it a few times and actually found he prefers maintainbig gluten-free options but will eat out for work events as he does not need to worry about cc. He may partake in Mexican or Chinese food but he stated he orders gluten-free dishes like rice noodles or burrito bowls minus flour tortillas etc. His boss and coworkers now know he eats gluten-free and they all select a restaurant with gluten-free options.

He converted by default. And ironically he has had more coworker acceptance than I have in the past.

      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.

      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?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
