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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
