itchy flaky eyelids

Date: October 07, 2009 05:47PM Hi everyone! I've been eating 90% raw for a little over 1 month now (lost 4 lbs - in a nutshell, everything has improved!!!) Thank you to this website I stumbled upon in my quest to lose weight and be healthy...and for the many people who put posts up daily to encourage people like me.
Here's my question: has anyone experienced any itching of the eyelids while eating raw? I've read up on Blepharitis on numerous site - and I don't think I have that. Every 4 to 5 days, I just have this redness in the inner crease of my eye. Slightly itchy....and by morning, it seems to flake like a sunburn (dead skin). Just a minor irritation....it lasts a whole day (maybe 2). Is this part of the cleansing process, or maybe a deeper problem? Any info or experiences anyone has had with this, I sure would like to hear about it. Thanks, Lisa Re: itchy flaky eyelids

congrats on your progress. cleansing reactions take many forms. mine seem to come and go, in various places. I trust my body knows what its doing with the raw food. if it starts to hurt, I slow down the cleansing. I've been about 80% raw for nearly a year now. Yesterday after a hard work out, a painful lump appeared under my arm pit. Maybe lymph glands? I don't know it needs further investigation. That is what I love about what raw food has done for me. I am discovering myself newly. 
Enjoy your new raw life. Re: itchy flaky eyelids

Date: October 09, 2009 04:26PM Thanks so much, Okendeji. I've been jucing my dinners at night, and I notice if I do that continually for a few days, the redness & itching happen. So, yes, I agree - I think it might be the cleansing, too.
It's interesting all the information you start to read up on healthwise, once you switch to a raw lifestyle. I have been treating candida for the past 3 weeks, and I stumbled upon some thing in my search: [health.groups.yahoo.com] (look halfway down @ Dr. Chong's comment) which then lead me to this article: [healthychristianliving.com] I think I may have that....not too sure. I have (or had) the majority of those symptoms before I switched to raw. I should really take myself to a holistic practioner to determine for sure if this is what I have. Re: itchy flaky eyelids

Date: October 10, 2009 05:32PM yes, I've noticed this too, 42 days raw, about 90% raw like yourself, and in the last two weeks itchy upper lids. I've had it before but not for ages, an optician noticed and diagnosed it before. I have a feeling it's exacerbated by the three day a week job I've now started indoors, very little sunlight. I will start taking more fresh air during the week and some sunshine, it's really rainy here this last week. It's mildly symptomatic so I'm not concerned.
