hmmm, i never associated my eye issues w/my gluten issues, but will have to pay attention. I have a hard time adhering to GF when I am away from home, tired, and hungry. do really well on my days off, while at home…
anyway, doritos didn’t use to be gluten free…I am fairly certain on the nacho chz flavor there was wheat flour

Can’t thank you enough for this post. My fifteen year old son has been struggling off and on with burning, painful, dry feeling eyes since he was six. He also took restasis with no results. The opthamologist said she was “stumped”. We walked out of the clinic knowing we had to figure it out on our own. We decided to start with eliminating gluten. In less than 48 hours his eyes felt normal! Thanks for verifying my first guess as to the culprit in the cause his misery.

Your recipes are excellent and your style is inviting. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your life and the information you have been gathering. I was diagnosed in my mid-sixties and promptly had both my sons diagnosed too. I had been misdiagnosed with Crohns diease that now appears to be a common mistake. It is great to know what it is and what to do but label reading is still a great challenge. Thank you. Rose

MSG is gluten derived…I’m not certain exactly, but some type of grain, either wheat or barley is in MSG….so you’re not off base!

I have a lot of food intolerances, too. I have a weird digestive system, the doctor says I have IBS (I feel like that’s a cheap diagnosis ). I’ve definitely felt better after going gluten-free but still have to deal with not having a gallbladder ! I know what you mean about the sensitivity to other chemicals; have you been tested for food allergies?

I was advised that if I took a time release vitamin B 100 complex every day it would help with mood and depression issues, and (for me at least) it works.

LOVE and TOTALLY AGREE with everything you’ve written! Was just diagnosed 5 months ago; never heard about the eye/celiac connection, but had pink eye the week after I was diagnosed and have been waking up quite frequently with red eyes (and assuming it was “allergies”).I, too, have been LIVING on “Cool Ranch” Doritos (but fortunately for me, they haven’t bothered me, I think Keep up the good work!
