Thank you Knitty Kitty, I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated. Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me. Thank you both for all the support and information.

Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected! There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease. Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell. Have your doctor check for Sjogren's. Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system. Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated. You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes! Fun fact: Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too. Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease. I also have Diabetes type two. Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet. A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down. I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes! Keep us posted on your progress! -
Ah, Scott, Ha ha! Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage. However, our eggs? We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here. Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else. The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens. A hard decision.

I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
