my quest to find a cure for my unknown illness, now dx as celiac disease, started with my weird vision problems.

Blurred vision, pressure, crusty feeling, focus difficulties. All sorts of other symptoms too but this is really a pain in the you know what.

Can anyone relate??

Yes, I had those same kind of problems before going gluten (and many other things) free. It's much better now than it was. Somehow my vision has changed, though, and I'll have to get my eyes tested. I feel like my glasses aren't quite right any more (and I only got a new prescription 15 months ago).

nobread4me, I exeperience what the doctor called a visual migrane. That was the first sign I went to the doctor for before being diag. w/celiac. Now I know when I have been glutened because my visiion gets weird. My perscription changed also. My doctor is having a hard time understanding the changes. He is not familiar with Celiac and how it relates to vision. Oh, well. The good part is my sight is getting better. Good luck. Stay gluten free and hopefully your vision and other symptoms will go away.

I had all those eye symptoms too. Sometimes it felt like I couldnt move my eyes...like they were stiff and dry. They hurt and for awhile I couldnt drive at night because of sensitivity to lights. I wore sunglasses all the time too. I had blurred vision periodically. They did tons of tests on my eyes but nothing came up and my vision was good. They did a catscan and an MRI and all they could tell me was I had dry eyes and to use drops. The drops intensified the pain. When I went off gluten my eye problems went away. I think my eyes were affected by both gluten and Graves Disease...so while both were occurring at the same time I had unbelievable eye pain like I wanted to die. When the Graves Disease was treated the eye problems were less severe but still there until I went on the diet.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.

      Thanks Scott! One more question how many of celiac had normal mucosa on naked eye (i mean endoscopy) but histology was postive like marsh 3 a or b?

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.
