does limiting sugar (fruit as well) help w/ mgd?
i was just curious if cutting down on fruit helps mgd ? i know they say sugar is bad..does that include fruit and raw honey???
i feel like everything i read contradicts itself!! any advise i appreciate so much!!!! i just want to start to feel better 1 day-
I am so confused.. please help.. val. :)
Val, I know exactly what you mean! First we're told to NOT drink, then it's OK to drink, then we SHOULD drink red wine, then we should only drink one glass of wine three days out of seven. It's the same way with coffee, tea, beef, pork, eggs. What are we to believe?
I wish I knew the answer for you, my friend. I want you to start feeling better soon!
Love,

iknow i read one thing that says bananas are great for dry eye due to the potassium and another site says they can trigger rosacea. since i am on doxy i dont know what my triggers are besides hot water! nothing i eat seems to make my face flush and my eyes flush even when i dont eat so i am at a loss.. i think the key maybe is just to eat as healthy as you can-yest tho i had a bad day and ate soooo much chocolat.e. do i feel worse today for it?? NO>>. but does it contribute to clossing my meibomian glands? i have no clue.. every doc i ask that of says just to take the good quality fish oil and that what you eat isnt going to make much of a difference..
thanks for responding. i am hoping someone will respond and say whether a change in diet has or hasnt helped them
This is one of the reasons I would LOVE to see Venus Williams do an in-depth inverview or post something about her "whole foods" diet on her website.
Well, I have ocular rosacea/mgd fairly bigtime, and I never eat nor use sugar. I take a high quality fish oil. I do use fresh fruit such as bananas. Sometimes I eat some 85% or 90% chocolate.
My face generally does not flush, and the ocular rosacea does not flare, usually, but it is always there, even with recommended treatment.
For what it's worth (FWIW).
