Ophthalmologic manifestations related to malnutrition stem from low levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, and calcium, which are common in celiac disease patients. These include retinopathy, cataract, dry eye, and pseudotumor cerebri:
Retinopathy: characterized by yellowish to white lesions studded with tiny holes in the peripheral retina. It is typically caused by a deficiency in vitamin A. The vitamin A deficiency can also lead to night blindness (nyctalopia). Typically, visual function improves after one to four months of vitamin A supplementation.
Cataracts: marked by the clouding of the lens of the eye, most cataracts develop slowly over time and cause blurry vision. Cataracts can be caused by a vitamin D deficiency, as a vitamin D deficiency interferes with the absorption of calcium and the resulting hypocalcemia (low blood levels of calcium) contributes to the development of cataracts. In addition, diarrhea common in undiagnosed celiac patients can lead to dehydration. Dehydration can alter the composition of the lens and lead to low levels of calcium in the aqueous humor. This leads to hypocalcemia which can then lead to cataracts.
Pseudotumor cerebri: also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension is characterized by increased intracranial pressure of unknown cause. It is thought to be caused by nutritional, metabolic, endocrinological or hematological disorders. In particular, it is linked with both vitamin A poisoning and vitamin A deficiency, although the mechanisms by which vitamin A deficiency and poisoning results in increased intracranial pressure is still not fully understood. Vitamin A deficiency is a common manifestation of gluten induced intestinal damage.
Dry eye: just as it sounds, dry eye results in uncomfortably dry eyes and sometimes small spots present on the whites of the eyes called Bitot’s spots. Vitamin A deficiency is often the root cause behind this condition as well, and research has shown it is more common in celiac disease patients.

I dumped wheat/gluten (not convinced it’s actually the gluten I react to) 100% 13 years ago, but have still ended up with retinopathy & a cataract. I did pick up in one of your other videos about the issues with other grains, such as soy, corn, etc & that even ‘gluten free’ foods may still cause issues. My main issue when getting ‘glutened’ is restless legs. I have noticed that even when I have eaten GF crackers I will often get restless legs, so there obviously is something in them. Today I had some GF crackers & tonight some brown rice with my meal, & within an hour or so after eating my legs were jumping about all over the place! Not sure whether it was the crackers or the rice, or both. I didn’t think I reacted to rice - I will have to monitor that. I don’t eat a lot of GF manufactured foods, but do like some crackers & hummus sometimes. It’s just nice to have the crunch, but it looks like i’m going to have to avoid them too. It looks as though my body may have been reacting to non-wheat, barley & rye grains too all these years. Sigh.
You should check the gluten cross reactive food list. Your body sees the similar chemical structure as gluten.
This is so insightful.
Thanks Dr Osborne 👍
Thank you
Can you link to the studies?
Thank you Dr. Osborne. What AMD?
Age-related Macular Degeneration.....
My bipsoy is altered, even the blood tests for CD is negative. And everyone else around me noticed my eyes are sick, dry eyes and a lot of eyes discomfort. I've been dealing with these symptoms a bit more of one year. My clinical signs (GI symptoms, hair loss, backache) and the found in biopsy is matching with celiac disease. Am I probably a soro negative celiac person?
It's not gluten, its biotoxins from the bromate in the wheat.
And iron and PHOSPHATES
True, it's not glute, it's alpha gliadine 😁
And roundup and probably what you say or maybe bromine. I'm not a chemist!
Could be any and all of those, gluten or the ones mentioned down here
