Hi-

I have always had dark circles under my eyes and since going gluten-free, over 9 months ago, I thouht I would see improvement. I didn see some in the beginning but, it seems to have come back. Anyone else have this problem and did it eventually go away?

I also am looking for a good under eye cover-up that is gluten-free. I have tried several and none really seem to get the job done.

I can't edit my post but, I am using gluten-free make-up. Everyday Minerals.

I noticed these more when my Ferritin was lower (iron stores). I am still a WIP on that iron....but they have faded as I have gotten the level up.

I dont wear makeup hardly at all. I wear Burt's Bees tinted lip balm and maybe mascara when I go out. So I cant help you there.

I have always heard these referred to as "allergy shiners." :blink: Mine have not gone away or even diminished. But I keep hoping! :lol:

Mine have gotten a little better but are still there. My mom has them too. Definitely not an iron issue with either of us. I don't really wear make up except for special occasions though.

I get the allergy shiners constantly. I don't use makeup on an everyday basis, but I do have Bare Minerals for special occasions.

I have had the dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember, years. Some people think I am on drugs, it bothers me everyday to see them. No matter what I do they wont go away. I thought that when I went gluten-free they would go away but they havent.

Same here. I had them as a child even. They never went away even when all I ate was fish, rice, sunflower seeds, fruit and vegetables for an entire year. Makeup doesn't cover them up all the way either. I feel your pain!

I have them, seemingly all the time. But when I am more stressed my co-workers mention them more.

I use MAC sick makeup for coverup.

I've also heard them referred to as allergy shiners. Possibly you have another food intolerance that isn't bad enough to cause obvious symptoms.

My daughter still gets periods where they are really bad. She's the one who had the most obvious food intolerances.

I think all of us have some shadowing, but it's not real bad.

Me too, I have lovingly called them my raccoon eyes. I have had them for years, and still do, after 8 yrs of gluten-free. I think they belong to us! <_<

That's what we call them in my family!! Raccoon eyes! I've always heard that these are more of a hereditary trait than anything. Ive had them my whole life and mine are reallly bad, as are my mothers and my grandmothers. I use Cliniques Advanced concealor ever since I started wearing makeup. I get the Matte Light in the winter and the Matte medium in the summer. It's the best I've used! (and I've tried them all)

I have raccoon eyes too. I pray for the day that they fade away

I have the dark circles too and have had them since I was little. I had heard they were from allergies, which I have (ragweed and such, not food), but now I'm wondering if they are from low iron which I have. Interesting. Also have puffines under my eyes. I saw an ad for Garnier with this new product that is supposed to relieve the puffiness. Not sure if it's gluten-free. I'm going to call and see.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
