Vision Improving?

Hi everyone,

I have horrible vision and was declared legally blind at a young age. If it weren't for the magic of thin-lens-creators, I would have five inch thick glasses :P

Anyway, I am near-sighted, but have trouble seeing anything past two inches from my face. About seven years ago, I all of a sudden had to read (like in bed, a novel) with my glasses on, and I was irritated... Laying on a pillow with glasses smushed in your face is relatively uncomfortable.

So the other day, I woke up and read for a little. About twenty minutes in, I realized I wasn't wearing my glasses, for the first time in... Well, I can't remember!

Has anyone's vision improved? Ironically, my other vision (optic/MS-like symptoms) are more obvious than ever, but man, this was sorta neat!

Congratulations !! :)

I've noticed that my glasses are too strong for me now. Everything is huge when I have them on. So, I am wearing them less. I haven't been tested to confirm anything yet.

It'll be interesting to see though. Pun intented. :)

My sister used to get really bad ocular migranes. She said her vision would be really fuzzy like a broken TV screen. My mom is an eye doctor and they sent my sister to tons of eye doctors and none of them could figure out what it was. But when she went gluten-free, it got better.

HAHAH!

:lol:

My eyes are the same for seeing far away (IE my glasses are fine), but my close up stuff is getting oddly better.

wozzy - that's good news! unfortunately, that wasn't my situation, otherwise i'd be more hopeful.

I have been wearing glasses since grade school (now I wear contacts) and every time I get my eyes checked my prescription is a little worse. I just recently went to get my eyes checked again (first time after going gluten free) and my prescription actually got a little less strong. I was really surprised because I thought it would get stronger. I wonder if it has anything to do with going gluten free.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
