Diet affect demodex? Just curious

Post by Acorn59 »

Hi Walter! And everybody else. lol
=P

Do you guys know if diet has an effect on demodex.

I am an oily person, so it doesn't seem to matter if I eat a salad or a cheeseburger. My skin still produces sebum, and I guess the mites love this?

But I always read on acne.org of how people notice their symptoms improve so much from going dairy free and/or gluten/wheat free. I personally have noticed my symptoms better when I went gluten free. HOWEVER,.. it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard. I was basically starving. Because everything had gluten in it.

So since I'm on zzcream now, I'm wondering if the diet I eat does not affect the end result?
I avoid sugar, and soda. I don't eat fast food. But I still like my carbs such as spaghetti and sandwiches. Will this hurt my chances of getting better? I also love dark chocolate and eat it almost everyday... haha

I try to be careful. lol

thanks

Hello

I also make a lot of sebum but don't have acne anymore for already 9 years because of using the Zhongzhou ointment,
I never changed any food habits so I don't think this will influence the results.
