Deekite,

Have your doctor check your Vitamin D levels ... they (low Vitamin D levels) can contribute to your dry eye symptom's.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-02-vitamin-d-linked-eye-syndromes.html

I recently found out  I had low Vitamin D again ...but I noticed my dry (grainy) eyes first .. .and was quite surprised my Vitamin D was low again but now I know it (dry eyes) was a way my body was telling me my body was low in Vitamin D again.

Also look into Pellagra .... the poor nutrition common in Celiac's can trigger it as 2ndary condition.

Here is a s study of it (Pellagra) presenting in Primary Sjorgen's.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4069716/

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

Posterboy by the grace of God,

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link). For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a...

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I...

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      Yes, Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out. None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP 132/67 for Oct 21 - 26. Lowest was 10...

      What Brands of Energy Bars are Gluten-Free?

      In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level...
