Hi, I have MGD, I already take fish oil (total 1800mg of EPA/ DHA per day), have done for some time for other reasons, but I want to add some GLA, am wondering how much to try for dry eye?
My sense it that my problems are all down to inflammation as over the last few years I have developed asthma and ear problems caused by inflammation of my eustachian tubes, as well as the MGD. I also found out recently I am gluten intolerant and my inflammatory problems have improved since I cut out gluten last Feb (I had joint pains and all sorts when I was eating gluten), am hoping the dry eyes might too, over time. Would like to try adding in some GLA having read about it increase levels of tear specific anti-inflammatory PG-1. Worth a try anyway and it might also help with the other stuff.
