Phenoxyethanol seems to had been causing me dry eye

Not so long ago, I made some posts about how gluten free diet, and low imflammation diet helped a lot my dry eyes but still my symptoms where not gone maybe a 2 or 4.5/10.

I tryied not use shampoos and any skin products this time for many weeks I discovered this time that my symptoms where really almost gone, as I no longer needed a very strict non imflammatory diet to control my symptoms....

So basically this phenoxyethanol and maybe other chemicals found in shampoos and skin care products where irritating my eyes, and when I ate something imflammatory my symptoms got worse because of the imflammation.

If I put some hair wax on my hair and forget to wash it off, it can cause me some bad flareups... that takes days to get better.

My symptoms are now a 0.5 or 2/10 now and is a huge difference.... mentally I feel like I can keep living another 30-40 years.

It sucks that I have to be very careful now with everything I put in my face, but at least I dont have to buy expensive gluten free food and eat tons of proteins.

I'm not sure if things like deodorant also affect me, maybe is only the things that I put in my head/close to my eyes.

Just sharing my experience hoping it can help someone.
