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!? :o

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.

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. :lol: Hmmm but for some reason there alot worse, and I keep getting more of them since I gone gluten free. :blink:

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.

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.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
