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!

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.

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      edited after your post: "one cup of canned prune juice has 707 mg of potassium, while half a cup of dried prunes has 635 mg... whole prunes provide more fiber and fewer calories per serving." - google  When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!
