High carb diet results

I notice that a lot of sugar makes my eyes worse. It also makes my facial rosacea flare up a little too.

Faith, I've started to follow the diet plan detailed in The Immune System Recovery Plan by Susan Blum M.D. Mainly cutting out sugar, gluten and dairy. I did think about following the autoimmune paleo protocol but then looking at the list of allowed foods I'd be forever hungry and I knew I'd never stick to it. I live in a small town where every other person is on a raw food diet and there are a few organic food shops a couple minutes walk from my door so I have no excuse to my boyfriend's rocky road squares that are sitting right next to me! I will let you know how I get on.

I guess I just can't do a lot of sugar I haven't changed anything else except my diet! So can you eat fruit or no?! I am slowly learning the more sugar I eat... The redder I get!!

Hopefully others on here share their experiences too.

Faith, I must be very careful about everything I eat. I made some gluten free cookies with no sugar. They contained bananas and the next morning the inside of my eyelids were really inflamed. Bummer. I don't know why, or how this happens, but I guess for some of us it does. If I can figure out how to go vegetarian and still get enough protein without the dairy, I probably will.

I actually eat a ton of fruit and veggies as part of my diet... no noticeable negative effects.

Hey everyone! For the past two weeks I have been trying a high carb, raw food diet.. I THOUGHT due to all the vitamins and minerals I was ingesting, I would start to heal..

My lids are now soo inflamed I had to use lotemax twice today (which I usually never have to do) I am going back to low carb, low sugar...

I think it was the high amount of fruit that caused the flare up, as I was doing okay before the diet ...

Anyone else have this experience??

I have MGD and dry eye from it ....possibly from rosacea although my face is pretty good
