Blurry vision after gluten contamination

I ate out just having a salad, I'm going through regular contamination results, wondering if anyone has had blurry vision for a day or 2 after

Yes, but I am not sure it is directly related to celiac disease. I have Hashimoto’s which in the past would swing wildly going from hypo to hyper.  So crazy my doctor could not keep up.  This all calmed down once my celiac disease was diagnosed.  However a gluten exposure for me activates my  other autoimmune issues.  My eyes can definitely be affected.  My vision is blurry and often the muscles around my eye ache.  This occurs to my mother and she has Grave’s Disease (hyperthyroid).  Please get to an ophthalmologist if this persists.  My mother has permanent eye damage as a result of undiagnosed Graves Disease.  Do not mess with your eyes!  

Do your best to avoid gluten.  After my third autoimmune (AI) disorder was diagnosed, I stopped eating out unless it was a dedicated gluten-free restaurant.  Extreme? Maybe.  But I like feeling good.    I am trying to avoid another AI!  I still go out with friends.  I just eat before and order a drink.  Everyone is used to it now.  

 When was the last time your antibodies were checked?  Are they declining?  

Feel better fast!

Yes I get blurred vision afterwards.

I am a male and as soon as I eat Gluten ( even the smallest portion) my eyes get blurry after approximately 12 hours. The blurryness may take a few hours, but if I am really heavy contaminated it may take a whole day. If I drink 1-2 cups of regular coffee , it may take the whole day. The coffee enforces the effect.

Only by refraining from Gluten and coffee I can keep a clear vision. I have visited 2 doctors and they can't find anything. 

 I am eating now a lot of fruits and glutenfree bread etc. Somehow I can cope. But if by mistake I get contaminated I really starts to become annoying. So I try to avoid Gluten by all mean.

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

      For people who can tolerate oats, Marks and Spencers sell a nice loaf:   https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-oaty-loaf/p/fdp60140058

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste.  I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get  a non-Coeliac to try this!  I don't want anyone here to get glutened! https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/swiss-milk-chocolate-truffles/p/fdp21056736
