Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Does it look like this: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.visualdxhealth.com/images/dx/w\ ebAdult/blepharitis_45368_lg.jpg & imgrefurl=http://www.visualdxhealth.com/adult/b\ lepharitis.htm & h=239 & w=320 & sz=15 & hl=en & start=7 & um=1 & tbnid=IuUQNTZth3GCzM: & tbnh=8\ 8 & tbnw=118 & prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblepharitis%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-\ a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN If it does, I imagine it could be yeast related. I read something recently that said that some studies have been done on dandruff, and it seems like dandruff could be caused by a fungus. The site I posted related seborrheic dermatitis to blepharitis, so that might be your answer. If there isn't a bad reaction to dairy, I would think putting some yogurt on the eyes might help. Or, maybe a compress of biokult dissolved in warmish water? Alison > Any ideas? I am baffled and upset over it. I feel like at first > things seemed to be getting better for all of us.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yes that is it. Or at least looks darn close! I thought about googling it but had no idea what key words to use. They told me before at the eye docs that my son has this Blepharitis but did not say she does. She wears glasses and has styes. He never gets any stuff like this. He rubs his eyes and they get blurry and tear up. So weird he has the DX and she has the visual symptoms At least i have a starting point. I really kind of blew off the Blepharitis thing. After i posted i rem. it and wondered if there was a connection. I had/have no idea if it is contagious. But now that toddler has it i am thinking it must bee. I think McBride brought up GAPS have sebor. derma. issues too. Have to listen again. i too thoughts about using Kefir or biokult after posting but was worried it might sting the eyes if it got int there. I feel a bit mroe ocnfident that someone has suggested trying it Anyone else know more about this stuff please let me know. I plan to google it but if you are inclined to look to please post whatever you find incase i miss it.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 > Hi i did not ahve any homemade yogurt but i had some kefi as i need to keep my grains going. So i have been putting it on their eyelids and it appears to be clearing up. Also a couple of other issues i have had - cystic boils. Appears it maybe helping them also. Not sure yet but things are looking less red and more clear. So maybe it will work > some yogurt on the eyes might help.
