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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower!  You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because of the beta carotene. Do you have issues with eggs and dairy? How about fresh fish? What about fresh fruit? There are also non gluten alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat (not related to wheat) groats and sorghum that are sold by companies like Bob's Red Mill that can be used for hot breakfast cereals. Gluten free oats is also an option, though some celiacs can't do oats because the protein in them (avenin) is similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction. Gluten is found only in wheat, barley and rye.

      I was just diagnosed with celiac disease after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get all the information you have, it just seems so overwhelming. I am still trying to figure it all out and don't know if the information I'm getting is correct. I have been eating only white rice and chicken breast, pork, or steak and fresh vegetables.  Gluten free pretzels and rice cakes to snack on. But that's about it cause I don't know what I can eat it's to overwhelming.  I don't even know what symptom to look for for possible cross contamination cause I also have microscopic Colitis which has the same symptoms as celiac disease. I'm hoping at least being on this forum I can get information that will help me figure it all out. Sorry I am not able to help you and hope you get the relief you are looking for.

      I just read this article here on Celiac.com.  For anyone interested in or following this thread, they may also want to read this article for additional insight:

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil.  Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      @Known1, I submitted the following comment along with my contact information: "I have noticed that many food companies voluntarily include information in their ingredient/allergen label section when the product is made in an environment where cross contamination with any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA may also be likely. Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."
