I already did, and I still woke up puffy..

At first I thought I was gluten intolerant after going through I-131 idione treatment for thyroid cancer. (It damages your GI tract). Now after not eating for a whole week due to severe illness and I wasn't puffy in the eyes or cheeks anymore. then while I was in the hospital this week, I ate bread, cake, sushi, pasta and not until thee 4th day did I get...

This is gold. I'm new to all this and have been searching this site for answers.

Omg, I just realized, what if my synthroid and exjade have gluten in them? Does anyone have any experience with Thryoid meds? I don't know what's in mine.... I'm still puffy and feeling gross. Time to live off nothing.

Yah that sounds good, I just can't have dairy or nuts or eggs so I need to think of more ideas. You guys are experts, I still don't even have a grasp of grocery shopping. I'm so lost as to what to eat. Plus gluten free stuff is so expensive, well at least where I live.

Thanks so much! Yeah, well Benadryl does nothing, so I am confused, but if it's autoimmune then obvisouly Benadryl will not help. I am lost. I swear yesterday morning I woke up with allergic shiners along with my existing puffiness. I am going to cut out corn, nuts, and almond milk and see what happens. Yah, I might try that diet, I need to figure...

Okay. Yah I need to add salads etc. I don't know what I am going to do once school starts again. What the heck am I going to take for lunch? I don't know how you guys do it!

No I don't have feather pillows, or sleep on the affected side any more than the other. I have even tried sleeping with my head elevated, and it doesn't help. I look horrible in the morning. My Dr. refuses to refer me to an allergist, she said all I can do is eliminate things. UGH! I took Benadryl for 3 nights and it did nothing. Yes, my diet is...

Does anyone have any idea what is causing my puffiness. I get it in my face, one cheeck in particulr, my eyelids become droopy, and I have this little puff above my left eye. This occurs every morning, and sometimes my face puffiness doesn't subside as the day goes. I am off gluten and dairy, but don't have a confirmed diagnosis for my food intolerance...

hmm I'm not eating any soy and I have been only living off corn nuts, gluten free cereal, almond milk, gluten free bread, and turkey meat.

Omg, I had the same experience. I am bad at dealing with this, because I already have a chronic illness and other problems. I have been puffy in my eyes and cheeks all week, and don't know what is causing it. I'm off gluten and dairy...

So...there's no way to de-gluten yourself? I'm new to this whole gluten-free world, but have to follow it because my I 131 iodione Thyroid ca tx resulted in GI problems and now Gluten sensitivity. yay.
