Minor symptoms?

Dear all

The past 2-3 months since quitting wheat, I have noticed a decrease in major and minor symptoms of Celiac disease (I have not tested). 

Today I noticed something: Usually when I am riding my mountain bike, my eyes fill with water until my sight gets blurry, tears running endlessly, and they stay like that until I am back home. Today they were completely fine, only minimal water running from them. Anyone experienced this?

I've been 100% gluten free almost a year now. In my first 4 mos of navigating my foods and medications I also learned that I was eating Soy Byproducts ...I'm super sensitive to trace amounts of gluten. Also, cheeses, like whey and dairy products can be intolerable for Celiacs.

Welcome to the forum both of you! 

So there is a dry eye condition that I recall some celiacs having issues with...perhaps you were in that category? If it was related, then going gluten-free would be the best way to find out. It sounds like the diet may have helped.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
