Interesting! I've always had dark circles under my eyes--my mother always thought I needed more sleep! Then they said they were "allergic shiners," yet I test negative on allergy tests. Maybe if I begin to eat gluten-free they will go away! Unfortunately, now there are plenty of wrinkles to take their place
