Have you controlled shingles or herpes with a diet change?

Asked by JLeslie (65447points) October 25th, 2015 from iPhone

I get recurrent shingles, and I’ve started reading up a little about foods that make it more likely to have an eruption. Of course one of the things on the bad list is chocolate. Chocolate is blamed for so much.

I wondered if anyone had success with trying a diet high in Lysene (supposedly that’s the goal of the diet) and if you know of any scientific research on the topic. Everything I read looks like people just passing along the word, and not actual scientific data.

There also is Lysene pills you can take, sold in the vitamin section at stores. Any research or personal experience with that?
