<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just want you to know that my eye and gut doctors have assured me that I have an inflammation in my eye, and not Sjogren's Syndrome (S/S). Prescribed drops seems to be helping this! The GI doctor said that only 3% of celiacs have it. I'm certainly relieved. All's not lost, as I've learned from your responses and my readings at Barnes & Nobles on this rare syndrome! For your interest, of the respondents, one has been definitely diagnosed with S/S, and almost all the others have indicated they have dry eyes and are taking drops for them. One recommended preservative-free eye drops. Another one had her tear ducts cauterized (for dry eyes) and take over-the-counter eye drops. One advised against long-term use of dry-eye drops. There is a test for Sjogren's which the eye doctor does with strips of chemically treated paper which are inserted under the lower eyelids to check for tear production or lack of it. Thank you for your wonderful support! Merry Christmas! Mildred Oberkotter, NYC
