Long Eyelashes

Ok, I just read a post that mentioned that Celiacs have long eyelashes. Is that true? My lashes are growing super long since I went gluten-free. They've never been long like this before.

Who has noticed long eyelashes since starting the diet? Or did you always have lush lashes? Who thinks it's related to celiac disease?

Same here. My lashes hit my glasses. I can't wear mascara on my bottom lashes because they touch my lower lid.

Our dental hygienist told my son he had the longest eyelashes she'd ever seen.

At least we have one perk... :P

I also have super long eyelashes. My glasses are plastic frames that slide easily off my nose. Annoying, but they tend to sit lower so that my lashes don't hit the lenses constantly.

SUPER-long lashes here! I always have trouble wearing glasses and sunglasses. If I wear mascara, it looks like I'm wearing falsies.

Hazel eyes...almost yellow.

Could any of you scientists out there please tell us what you might know on this subject? I would really like to know if there is any scientific evidence about the lashes thing or if it's just a fun legend. Has anyone done anything with it at an official level in the science world? Several family members have decidedly longer lashes than usual. Thanks!

I have long eyelashes as well, and so do both of my children. Although my oldest does not have celiac and is in the least likely category according to the genetic testing.

Long vs short lashes is a genetic trait. Long lashes are dominant, short are recessive. I doubt if they are connected to gluten intolerance, but if they are near each other on the same chromosome, it is possible that they tend to be inherited more frequently together.

Apparently, eyelash length is related to allergies, so who knows?...

Abstract: Long eyelashes may be congenital, acquired in association with certain systemic diseases, or drug induced. In the past, long eyelashes were considered an external sign found in children with allergic diseases. However, this claim has never been examined in a controlled study. We compared the eyelash lengths of allergic children and adolescents with perennial allergic rhinitis, with or without bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis (n = 60) to those of age- and sex-matched nonallergic controls (n = 80). The eyelashes of the allergic patients were found to be significantly longer than those of the controls: 9.43

My Celiac daughter has ridiculously long, dark eyelashes! So long that when she was a toddler/preschooler, the top lashes would slide into her lower lid when she was sleeping and we'd have to gently pull them out in the morning! She will never, ever need mascara!

She has blue/gray eyes, though.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
