Spicy Foods?

[Arcluce]

Just curious if anyone else with dry eyes have been eating spicy foods and if so, has it helped you?

Arcluce Hi - I have rosacea so try to avoid spicy food where I can as it is a potential trigger for me. Diet wise - i try to cut out as much sugar, red meat and processed food as I can. Drinking a lot of water seems to help me also - I try to drink 3 litres a day.

I love spicy food. It gives me a very mild reflex tear reaction that is enough to feel almost completely normal or normal.

FYI, I have MDG and also fluctuating aqueous tear production.
