Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet
Two things: 1. If you are using drops 3x a day you should be sure to use preservative free. The preservatives themselves can cause irritation. 2.

I have been treated for "chronic migraine" and as my bouts of diarrhea have gotten worse, I now have sought out a gastroenterologist.
