Well, y'all, it's been one week today of no gluten for me. I self dx'd and this board has been invaluable to me and I want you all to know how much I appreciate all of you.

I have not had one question or passing thought that I couldn't find an answer to on this forum. I'm so glad that I found this place which has been a huge comfort to me.

So, thank each of you so much for being here and helping me and each other. :)

first week! and then another. and then a month, and another month... and pretty soon this new way of eating will be second nature and will feel normal to you. and remember the better you feel with this diet the easier it is to maintain.

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
