This is a very good post. I believe my grandmom (on my mom's side) had celiac and my mother has it. My grandmother got some kidney stones removed :blink: pretty much every year up until she died from intestinal cancer and some other issues, that I think are related to celiac. Well, before I was diagnosed I could drink gallons of water each day and still be thirsty. Somehow my body was unable to use all that water. And now, three years after my diagnosis and strictly glutenfree since, I have it once in a while, that my kidneys hurt. But I never was THAT thirsty anymore since going glutenfree. I know, I should get myself checked out about that, but that's another story. My 2 cents are, kidney problems actually are related to celiac.

but I was a good boy and just drank a Mt. Dew.

Oooh, I love it :lol: said very funny

Anyway, I don't think it's just gluten. I think that most people in the general public, to some degree, shouldn't be eating wheat. I mean, it's a grass seed. A seed ... from grass ! Then, they go in, process it, and by the end of it, there's like a zillion particles of grass seed in a bowl of pasta. Wouldn't it make sense that humans were meant to eat Sweet Potatoes and Zucchini rather than a million zillion grass seeds in a single serving? Whatever. My husband isn't "gluten intolerant", but has noticed also that his head is clearer, and he feels better when he stays away from it.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. However people laugh at me, when I talk about my opinion. Humankind was not meant to eat wheat. We are not cows, we don't eat grass :blink: Very well said, I share the same opinion.

Hugs, Stef

      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?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
