Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just got through a bout of crazy eye dryness. I also had a rash. I had cut back on eating red meat and eating iron rich foods...and it contributed greatly to it. It cleared up once I started doing that again and getting my allergies in check with a netti pot. Also, o use theratears which my eye dr recommended which are preservative free and mimic natural tears if that helps with the dry eye situation...- Dana Sent from my iPhone allergy?? or yeast??? is that possible??? my son had a lot of blinking going on when i started him on scd -gone now and yeast is more under control ...so i wonder?? eileen 2 years 5 months scd > > > > Hi Does anyone else also have trouble with dry or gritty eyes?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I don’t think that digestive problems and dry eyes are connected. I have dry eyes as a result of blepharitis. My sister also has blepharitis and she is in perfect health. It is quite common. Research on the internet how to wash and massage your eyes for relief. Also, I would recommend seeing your eye doctor for lubricating eye drops. They really help. People with blepharitis tend to be very sensitive to fluorescent lighting and sunlight. Other symptoms are redness (because of light sensitivity and grittiness), type of mucus discharge. I’ve read that this develops because of contact with bacteria. Hope this helps, GERDS and chronic C.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 My eyes are also very dry, but I don't know to which extent this is connected to gut issues.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sjögren's is an autoimmune condition that causes dry eyes, and that is definitely gut related... > > Hi Does anyone else also have trouble with dry or gritty eyes?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 > I don't think that digestive problems and dry eyes are connected. Well, yes, as a matter of fact they can be connected. Eye issues are a common symptom of Crohn's. Various parts of the eye can become inflamed, there's a greater tendency toward glaucoma, and dry eyes are common. And of course long-term steroid treatment can lead to cataracts (which I already had the surgery for at age 55). But now I have bionic eyes and no longer need glasses of any kind, not even for reading. So there's an upside sometimes. :-) nI have> dry eyes as a result of blepharitis.
