Eye Lid Swelling And Bad Skin

Hello,

I am new to the site and have recently been diag as gluten intolerant/ or allergic. I have many questions but would like to know if anyone has these symptoms and when the went away after they went gluten free.

I get terrible eyelid upper and lower swelling after consuming gluten when I wake up . There is also this stringy goop that comes out of them constantly. The swelling will subside somewhat but never fully. Does anyone have this or had it happen to them and if so, how long does it take to go away once gluten is omitted from diet.

Second is constant bad skin. I'm 40 and I have constant clogged pores/ acne on face chest and back. Is this also a reaction to the gluten? Just seems like no matter what I do to keep the skin clean, its always like that.

I have just started to be gluten free and I hope these two things will go away once and for all!

Thanks so much

Just to let you know - gluten intolerant, wheat allergy and Celiac are 3 different things. Celiac disease does have a skin manifestation called DH b-Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

It could be that you're suffering from nutritional deficiencies (if you, in fact, have celiac disease). Also, swelling of the eyelids and skin problems can be due to a staph infection. You might ask your doctor to test you for staph, just in cace.

another thing to check on is eye rosacea & skin rosacea.... Something we have found to help with acne is a skin cleasner from Nutribiotic, it has helped many with acne (Original formula.)..We buy through the Vitamin Shoppe....

Your eyes & skin may clear up once you have detoxed your body by getting rid of the gluten. This is a process & does take time .....

Have you checked your thyroid? Not just a TSH a total thyroid panel ie: total T-3

Free T-3 FreeT-4, reverse T-3, TSH & a glucose, A1C, metabiolic panel , B-12 & vit D3 for starters...

Remember to check for cross contact with gluten. ie : toaster, wooden & plastic utensils, colander, hand mixer,scratched pots & pans...these are just a few items that can harbor gluten....

Digestive enzymes & probiotics .are very helpful with digestion....

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
