I started my gluten-free diet on April 14th and shortly thereafter noticed that the skin on my face has become so soft and looks so much better. Has anyone else noticed this soft skin side effect (not that I am complaining lol)?

Since going free my acne on my face and upper back has almost completely gone away and my skin there has been much more smooth, less bumpy and gross.

one of the first things i noticed when i made the switch to gluten-free was my skin. it was way less red, smoother, and less dry. i always thought it was red from sun damage from childhood, but apparently it was just from eating gluten.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't noticed any other changes yet. Man, I wish the brain fog would lift but my seasonal allergies may have something to do with that as well.

Stay healthy!

My skin is softer and my hair is thicker and shinier since going gluten free. Hope you continue to improve!

My skin is better on my face. It is was tough to have a Mary Kay business if you skin around your eyes looks terrible.

Turns out it was the gluten. Business is better.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
