Has anybody else experienced this? I had terrible eye pain after my concussion. It was debilitating at times. Nothing helped (well, nothing doctors gave me).

I forget what made me want to cut out sugar completely. I think a doctor made a general statement about how eliminating foods that cause inflammation might help.

Anyway, my eye pain was 80% better after 3 days without sugar. After a week with no sugar, my eye pain was 95% better.

I figured that maybe it was just a coincidence and ate some sugar again. My symptoms returned almost immediately.

I stopped eating sugar again and then tried once more to add it back in. This was after another week or so. The eye pain returned within 20 minutes, and my heart started racing. I also got a bad headache.

Has anybody else given up refined sugar and noticed an improvement? This has been really hard for me since I don't eat gluten either (I am allergic to wheat). It seems like lots of gluten-free foods are packed with sugar.

I am still consuming honey and maple syrup a couple times a week with no issues.
