Contamination = Weird Vision?

I seem to have been contaminated as of Sunday, for Thanksgiving (all I ate was some mashed potatoes, but apparently the butter they used had some major bread crumbs in it!!)

So for the last 2 days, Anything I eat/drink has gone straight through me so of course i'm feeling a little dizziness after 2 days of running on empty...And the brainfog is so horrible I forgot that I started class at 3 today (some reason I thought 4, even tho its always been 3) and forgot I had a quiz (I didnt study, but I still got 8/10 lol)...BUT thats not the only issue...

My vision really seems to be acting up!! I'm not blind or hallucinating or anything, just my vision is very spotty almost? It goes from being VERY fuzzy to back to normal, and they BURN...

Any suggestions for help? OR anyone deal with this too? I've never had this contamination symptom before so its puzzlin me :blink:

I have what sounds like that happen to me, my vision will get blurry and then will return to normal and I have tears that burn. I am not thinking this is related to Celiac so I don't know if this helps, I am thinking it is related to Lyme disease in my case.

Well, I get vision problems with glutenings, as well as tearing, burning eyes. So, yes, I'm sure it will get better soon. Amazing that you still did well on your test!

I get blury vision too, and I think it has to do with blood pressure. When I get bad D my blood pressure bottoms out, and then I get up to fast or something, and my vision with go wacky for a minute. The last time (over a year ago) that I had pasta (a month into a gluten-free trial) my intestines shut down, and I passed out. The ER Doc said my intestines had shut down, and my blood pressure had dropped so fast that I couldn't keep concious. I notice it now, when I get glutened, I can feel myself get light headed and my vision go weird on me.....

Very interesting...I wonder if my 'new' intestine problems are doing that to me also? Because last week I actually based out from feeling so physically weak and in so much pain (and ended up late for class even)

Glad to know tho that the vision issues really IS more than likely just from being glutened and not some other problem

Yes, I am suprised I did good on the test too, seeing how I'm like a chapter behind on my reading!! (you know whats its like being glutened--reading/trying to memorize and understand what you read is impossible!!) .. I have a quiz tomorrow on the chapter I havent even looked at yet, tomorrow I'll just browse it because I'm sure if I can pull of 80% without studying for today's, I can do it tomorrow too lol

Ah but if you did that well glutened why not study and go for a 100%? Sorry that was the teacher in me talking. :) I also get problems with my vision from gluten. I went to an eye doctor before diagnosis and he thought I was doing drugs and told me once I was off them my vision would improve :angry: I haven't had anywhere near the eye problems I had since I went gluten-free. On a side note though make sure the doctor checks your sugar levels, high blood sugar can cause similar problems.

I work at an optometrists office and I have learned that your vision can be affected by dry eyes. The drier they are, the more blurry your vision. Also, the burning can be allergies. Mine always feel like they are on fire right at my tear ducts. I use an over the counter allergy drop called Opcon A. It works better than anything else I've tried, including prescription drops. Maybe celiac disease dries out your eyes or something. Anyway, hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
