Blurry vision after gluten contamination

I ate out just having a salad, I'm going through regular contamination results, wondering if anyone has had blurry vision for a day or 2 after

Yes, but I am not sure it is directly related to celiac disease. I have Hashimoto’s which in the past would swing wildly going from hypo to hyper.  So crazy my doctor could not keep up.  This all calmed down once my celiac disease was diagnosed.  However a gluten exposure for me activates my  other autoimmune issues.  My eyes can definitely be affected.  My vision is blurry and often the muscles around my eye ache.  This occurs to my mother and she has Grave’s Disease (hyperthyroid).  Please get to an ophthalmologist if this persists.  My mother has permanent eye damage as a result of undiagnosed Graves Disease.  Do not mess with your eyes!  

Do your best to avoid gluten.  After my third autoimmune (AI) disorder was diagnosed, I stopped eating out unless it was a dedicated gluten-free restaurant.  Extreme? Maybe.  But I like feeling good.    I am trying to avoid another AI!  I still go out with friends.  I just eat before and order a drink.  Everyone is used to it now.  

 When was the last time your antibodies were checked?  Are they declining?  

Feel better fast!

Yes I get blurred vision afterwards.

I am a male and as soon as I eat Gluten ( even the smallest portion) my eyes get blurry after approximately 12 hours. The blurryness may take a few hours, but if I am really heavy contaminated it may take a whole day. If I drink 1-2 cups of regular coffee , it may take the whole day. The coffee enforces the effect.

Only by refraining from Gluten and coffee I can keep a clear vision. I have visited 2 doctors and they can't find anything. 

 I am eating now a lot of fruits and glutenfree bread etc. Somehow I can cope. But if by mistake I get contaminated I really starts to become annoying. So I try to avoid Gluten by all mean.

      Canker sores

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free. Then I only got them when stressed. Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      Pear Bread

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess...

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving...

I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
