Has anyone had symptoms of dizziness that seem to be related to pressure or swelling behind the eyes. By noon my eyes feel heavy from pressure and it makes me feel nauseous. Is this from Celiac or some other issue? What do you guys think? :unsure:

I personally have not heard of that with celiac disease. I think you should get to an optomitrist as soon as you can and have it checked out. If you tell them just what you typed here, I am sure they will get you right in. This could be something not related to celiac's. I work for an optomitrist and I know he would want to see you as soon as possible.

I often feel eye pressure, but mine is to to climental change and not due to celiac. Where I live, we go to very humid to very dry weather in a matter of days. I do feel this in the pressure change, in my eyes and sinus.

As always, I am not a doctor, but sometimes dizziness can be an inner ear issue. You may have a small infection that effect both. Eyes and ears can have a common issue.

I experience sinus pressure and pain, fuzzy vision/inability to focus, and positional dizziness (looking down, then moving, like in the kitchen when cooking) when glutened. The vision problem persist a long time after a glutening.

The opthamologist I saw rolled his eyes and sent me on my way when I went in to have it checked out. Now I know that for me, it is a symptom that is consistent with being glutened.

You should have it checked out by a professional, though, especially if you have not experienced these symptoms before.

A lot of celiacs have sinus problems, like chronic sinusitis. This might account for the pressure and dizziness. I think you should see your primary care doctor, and if you have no luck, see a specialist. Good luck,

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
