When I've eaten wheat my symptoms usually start several hours afterward. I usually get nausea, then I get shakey and sometimes anxious, and then the stomach problems set in! Sometimes my eyes (or one eye) get bloodshot. Does that happen to anyone else?

I do not have problems with my eyes but I do know that symptoms can come on right away or days later. I always know within 10-20 min but some get sick later.

I have the red eye thing. Missed most of 5th grade due to the teacher's phobia of Pink eye. I'm in my thirties now and I still have the red eye probelms. Rarely do both eyes flare up at the same time, so everybody that sees me is rather horrified of pink eye. And yes I have had enough pink eye to know the difference between the allergy issue and the pink eye issue.

When I get one red eye it is ALWAYS an indicator of an allergy or a sinus problem/cold. I have taken Zrytec for years and I love the stuff. It knocks out the allergic reaction within 20 min and my eyes start to go back to normal.

So I can't tell you if it is somehow related to Celiacs. But I can tell you that ALL of my allergies and symptoms have gotten much better since going on the gluten-free diet. Prior to the gluten-free diet my cat allergy had gotten so bad that I could not even be in a house that had just one cat. Just recently I slept at my MILs for three days and had no problems from the cat! No idea what the connection is, but I am happy that the allergies are on the down swing.

Best of luck!

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
