Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Hi A while ago a few people were trying to reduce the amount of arginine in their diet. I appreciate that the conclusion was made that sticking to an arginine free diet is dangerous, but just curious to see if anyone stuck to a reduced arginine diet and what the results are/were? Also I have looked up a little information abot arginine and it'e effects on NO within the body but does anyone know if we rely on arginine in the diet in order to make NO or whether our bodys make it independantly? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Yes, a low arginine diet helps me and there are only a few things you have to avoid: nuts, seeds, cola, chocolate, and gelatin are super high in arginine. Grains are moderately high in arginine. You should note that lysine balances arginine so you dont have to worry about meats even though they have lots of arginine since they also have high lysine. In other words, you only have to avoid high arginine foods that have more arginine than lysine. Lucky for us, this really shrinks the list. (see first paragraph) So, I cut out nuts, seeds, cola, chocolate, and gelatin and try not to overdue it with the grains and my rosacea has improved a lot. I have it mostly in the cheeks and once in a while I would get the warm flare in my nose. When I avoid the arginine foods, I DONT GET THE NOSE FLARE and my cheeks do better overall. I am still seeing the correlation after about a year of following it. It's nice because I can eat most foods: meats, seafood, veggies, fruits, dairy, oils, etc... There really are not that many foods you have to avoid. I hope you are all doing well Patty > Hi > A while ago a few people were trying to reduce the amount of arginine in > their diet.
