It might be an aldehyde sensitivity. Candida produces aldehydes. Are you also sensitive to perfumes and diesel fumes? If so, molybdenum 500 mcg a day might help you.

Do you have foamy urine?

I had bags and double bags under my eyes when my cortisol was high. Before this I never had bags under my eyes. Also my vision is not as good and especially in the eye that had the bigger bag under it. I think there is fluid around my eye. Cortisol can cause puffiness and a puffy face that was part of it for me. I think also my lymph isn't draining properly and maybe my liver isn't detoxing toxins out of my system enough.

when my liver is under stress I usually get a yellow tint to my skin as well as swollen eyes. This usually happens when I'm constipated.

My swollen eyes improved almost immediately after first liver flush. They also improved gradually as i passed a lot of candida within a few weeks, so i suspect swollen eyes in my case could be because of leaky gut.

Drinking aloe vera juice has helped tremendously as well.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my eyes swelling & it drives me crazy not knowing exactly what is causing it. I have done the food diary, stayed off dairy, wheat etc but it hasnt stopped the symptoms. I have done all the cleanses too.

I was told a few years ago that I was sensitive to salicylates & I did a heap of research on it but it got too hard & I thought 'stuff it I enjoy the taste of these foods; I will just keep an eye on it'! But these symptoms wont go away & it knocks me around. So I do have to treat it seriously when it sucks the life out of me & I end up sleeping from exhaustion. All the foods you listed are 'ditto' for me too, and cucumber & grapes are high in salicylates too!!

I recently found an online book called 'The Salicylate Handbook' by Sharla Rice (it's not expensive & it has heaps of excellent information)

Also salicylates apparently cannot be tested for, which makes it really tricky. It's normally the people who have tried everything & know they are sensitive or allergic to something & cant find the answer. I was told by a computer a few years ago that I was hooked up to that did a print-out of my health (so initially I didn't know whether it was 100% fact or not; but after years of keeping an eye on foods with salicylates the symptoms bombard me when I eat the wrong things!

Also apparently Salicylates build up in the kidneys, when too much is accumulated in the bod. I do get mysterious aches in the kidneys when I over do the salicylates. But it is really hard to stay off them all the time. I just try and monitor it. I hope this helps!

Cheers
Madi
