Marks In The Eyes - Anyone Else Get This

[missla3000]

Hello everyone!!

I am wondering if any one else has noticed a symptom which I believe is due to my celiacs/gluten allergy. I have small bruising/ marks just in the inside of my lower eye lids (where you would put eye liner) and they have been there for months - although they dont cause me any bother I know that they eyes are always a sign that there is some illness present. Also do any of you suffer with upper back pain -especially when breathing in????

Lots of people with Celiac/gluten sensitivity have bruising under the eyes but I am not farmiliar with bruising there. With over 200 symptoms of Celiacs it could still be a symptom though. I hope you will run it by a doctor just in case...

I had back and neck pain and was positive for osteopenia. I've been taking Citracil calcium supplements very carefully since I was diagnosed and my neck and back pain is gone completely. The villi damage of the intestines affects calcium absorption and 50-100% of Celiacs do have low bone mass. I look forward to the next density X-ray and feel confident that I will be closer to normal. No matter what your age when you start eating gluten-free the bones start absorbing a greater than normal amount of calcium and can regain a lot of lost ground. But, again I'd run it by a doctor in case it is something else. Here is a link about bone mass and Celiacs:

Mine get tender to the touch there, but I have never noticed any true bruising. They will sometimes even swell slightly. If you find out what causes it, post again and let us know.

My eyes get very red and dry underneath if I accidentally ingest gluten. It does look to be a little blue there too. I thought it was just allergies but maybe it is from gluten? hmmmm.
