Styes On Your Eyes

[DragonQueen]

Since Ive gone gluten free Ive been getting styes on my eyes and I didn't use to. (My mom has them too and she is gluten free) Is it something that comes up when you first go gluten free? Please answer these questions!?

I've only had one stye, and that was before I was gluten-free. You might talk to your optomitrist about ways to minimize them. They're caused by oil buildup, so a warm wash of the face morning and night - making sure to wash the eyelids (outside, of course ;-) ), and a warm wet cloth placed over the eyes for a few minutes every day can help reduce them and prevent them from coming back.

what do styles look like

[DragonQueen]

Styes are painful little bumps on your eyelids. All I do to get rid of them is use Johnsons baby shampoo and those little suckers go right away. Hmmm but for some reason there alot worse, and I keep getting more of them since I gone gluten free.

or better ( probably a detox reaction ) skin is the largest organ so if toxins can't get out any other way they will come through the skin

I never got them but I asked my mom and she said she used to get them a lot before she went gluten-free. Since she found out she was Celiac she hasn't had them.

My sister (Who should be gluten-free but isnt) gets them sometimes.

thats really weird. about 2 months ago i got my first stye. i went to the doctor got medicine and it went away but then came back out of nowhere! it was actually when i had cheated on my diet though.

Check your mascara and eye makeup to see if it is gluten-free, and if it is older than a couple of months, pitch it since bacteria may be growing in it. I have read about a natural eye wash that you can use to help get rid of them. Anyone familiar with that? I am thinking it was a mild boric acid solution with distilled water.
