Reduce GLA, Omega 3 (& nuts) to avoid grittiness

[MGD1701]

Hi, just sharing - in case someome are interested.
I am curious if someone share such strange experience???

I need to reduce the amount of omega 3, GLA (& nuts) to avoid grittiness.
Doctor confirmed the gritiness was because eyes are (too) oily.

I did suspect that too and already reduced a bit then eyes feel better & now I got the confirmation.
First, I thought it might be demodex. Dr said, NOT demodex.

(too) oily ?? for a MGD?? what do you mean by too oily?
What drop do you use?

[MGD1701]

such gritty feeling started when I first increased omega 3 (& later GLA) to thin the oil and they worked
although my omega 3 & 6 are pretty high already according to blood tests did 1 year ago - I eat lots of nuts too.
I think since now my oil quality has been improved as doctors said, I do NOT need that much as before.

Drop: It has nothing to do with drops I use as I have NOT changed.
My eyes like Systane Balance.

Hi MGD,

thanks for your info on the whole30 diet! Very helpful!

Do you mean that you were eating too many nuts and it was making your eyes drier? I think nuts have omega 6 too don’t they?

[MGD1701]

Nuts, omega 3, GLA:
I meant I have taken too many nuts, plants seeds/omega 3, GLA etc. which make my eyes too oily.
Yes, Nuts have lots of omega 6.

According to my research omega 3 + GLA combination works better than alone, new studies!!
Just google ''GLA, dry eye'' you could find many articles.

I haven’t started the whole30 diet yet as I also am not sure if I will do it completely or add in some carbs!

What type of diet do you follow? Can you give me an example of what you would eat in a day?

What is GLA? Where/what foods do I find it in?

So you are saying that you overdosed/took too much omega 3?

Thanks for your help!

GLA: is omega 6 but good one. There are only about 7 types.
more info please google, 'GLA, dry eye'. many articles in professional journals -
including from Dr Paul M. Karpecki.

Diet: just avoid sugar, processed food. Eat different colours of vegetable/fruit daily,
meats & eggs: 3-4 times/week, raw garlics, onions, ginger, lemo almost daily, bio if possible.

I take flaxseed oil, hemp oil/GLA - both bio, cold pressed and different nuts whole day, with food/salad.
I think in the beginning the volume should be large but later should be reduced,
especially when the oil quality has been improved.

Inflammation:
All 8 doctors said I did not have inflammation (only examined by slit lamp) in last 1.5 years but
I suspect it is just my level is very low (& only confocal microscopy can detect it).
Doctor also confirmed some months ago that I do NOT have scar tissue.
