My wife has had an expressed intestinal sensitivity to wheat
for at least six years, but her dermatologist identified her dh
condition about ten months ago. She has been on a gluten-free diet
since and finally the dh skin condition has cleared up.
In addition she notes that she had not had any visual
displays since going gluten-free. She wonders what the experience of
others on our List may have been with regard to visual displays. I will
be glad to summarize responses.
Her visual displays are very much like those associated with
migraine headaches (which headaches however she did not have). They
come only a few to a dozen or so times a year - going way back to
college. They are not at all associated with stress and last only ten
minutes or more. First there is a blurring/disappearing of parts of the
visual field. Then come a few bright jagged regions. When this passes,
she experienced a deep tiredness which best was handled by a nap.
Have any celiacs originally having these symptoms noted a
reduction or absence of these eye displays since going on a gluten-free
diet?
Cheers, Al on Cape Cod
