Hey guys! I was just wondering if anyone has problems with facial swelling, particularly swelling around the eyes and nose? I've had that problem for almost a year now. And I also have sensitivity to light and dark dark circles around my eyes. I've been to several ENTs (ear, nose, throat doctors) all of which ruled out sinus problems. I have environmental allergies, and I know those can cause my symptoms, but even my allergy meds don't really seem to help. I wouldn't be too concerned but like I said I have had this problem for about a year. Any help would be appreciated!

I had the dark circles under my eyes until I went gluten-free and started taking multi vits. My boss mentioned that vitamin defeciensies can cause the dark circles!

Thank you! On my next apt i will ask the doc to check for vitamin levels.

I had dark circles and puffiness under my eyes for years. I even went to the eye dr concerned because my eyes felt "gritty" and I always looked very tired. I also cannot go outside without sunglasses because of sensitivity to sunlight. After going gluten free, I started absorbing vitamins and iron (was anemic) and my dark circles are gone. The puffiness went away after I began using "Refresh Tears" 2x a day for dry eyes. It is over the counter and helps with dry eyes. I would ask to have your iron levels checked as well as for other deficiencies. My symptoms were all nutritional deficiencies more than stomach problems.
