gluten in cataract lens plastics?


Penelope

Recommended Posts

Penelope Newbie

You had an article on a 4 year old girl who had a plastic dental device that was found to have gluten and to have affected her.  Given that lens replacements in cataract surgery are also plastic, do they or can they contain gluten?

I have a J and J  IOL Toric cataract lens in my eye that I'm having a horrible reaction to. What replacement lens is gluten free? No company will help me find out this info.

It looks like this original post is still unanswered. I'm not aware of gluten being used in contact lenses, but I suppose it is possible. The only people who could answer this would be the manufacturer. I'm sure trying to reach J&J to find this out could end up being a full time job 😉, but that would be where to begin. Is there a contact number on the box?

      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.

      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 professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      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 feel like I need more support than that...

      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 100/59. High 157/62.
