5 Foods That Cause Herpes Outbreaks 

just found out today im positive for herpes and been binging your videos... thank you for making me feel less alone

I’m just finding your videos, as a male with genital herpes it’s been rough this past year. But this video alone is a great find.

Peanuts and cashews will give me an outbreak within 48 hours. Spicy curries, red wine and citrus fruits also trigger outbreaks for me.

I was diagnosed with oral herpes… I eat all of these things except for coconuts… I didn’t see any outbreaks yet! I’m still sad about it to find out I have herpes :/ but anyways I’ll try to stay strong 💪

It's more people living with this than I thought 💭 makes me feel alot better

Darker chocolate has more L-arginine, what you're avoiding is the sugar and cream which probably is more immediate.

I drink tons of caffiene, more than most people. I restrict sugars bread and pasta. don't like coconut. I eat peanuts and almonds. No outbreaks in 18 yrs. I believe sugars are probably the problem

I am in Florida I have herpes and I'm trying to learn about it it's haven't been easy priming and Amber scared

brilliant and helpful video!

These videos are often frustrating to watch as it takes unnecessarily long to get to the point - lots of talking about what is going to be talked about and tangents. Do appreciate the vulnerability sharing personal experience though!

thanks for the explanation about argigine. i was researching and couldn't understand why the foods i read in my textbook were bad. this is really helpful! thank you

Thank you so much! I was diagnosed with this not long ago, I al learning how to deal with it. You are awesome!

Coconut Caffeine Chocolate Nuts (peanuts) Sugar

Peanuts are known for mold

It was bad enough that ice cream, cookies 🍪 cake, soda, milk chocolate, fried chicken, pizza, lasagna, alcohol and cigarettes you know all the things and flavors which make this turbulent unpredictable life, tolerable and actually enjoyable, are not good for us. So I settle for cashews, sunflower seeds, almond milk, coconut milk, walnuts, pecans, fruits and vegetables thinking I'm having things which are relatively tasty AND healthy Now I find out that seeds and nuts many fruits and vegetables which I've been told ALL of my life are good are NOW bad for me bc I have a permanent lifelong illness! I'm sorry to sound negative, but life is so f'd up, seems like if it's not one thing it's something else, it's a catch 22, damned if you do..well kno the rest. I'm not gonna pretend like it's something minor bc I know how this virus can affect your CNS, including your brain and eyes, so I know it's not just a superficial skin problem. Even after 6 yrs, ( a gift from a careless hateful, abusive, just a bad person, I should have NEVER looked at, the biggest mistake of my life) it still pains me Everyday, Everytime I reflect on the me I was before I was involved with this evil man, who I foolishly loved, and allowed to damage my temple. It brings tears to my eyes and depresses me to no end. I remember how energetic, healthy, ambitious I was. I didn't have hypochondria, or feel like dying, I was young healthy and ready to take on the world. Only 13% of the world are known to have hsv 2, that's 87% who don't, and I used to in that number. Now.... Leg numbness, muscle twitches, allodynia, dizziness, frequent urination from a compromised nervous system partially from hsv and partially from the stress of my system being in state of emergency for 6 years dealing with a complete insane, unstable, bipolar, narcissistic, multiple personality, alcoholic, misogynist, nutcase who thinks women are useless, should NEVER talk, only good for spreading their legs for penis or to pop out a baby, not even to raise one bc according to him women are incompetent in directing anything. A man who will NEVER apologize or takes accountability for anything, and literally LIVES only for war. But if I had not been disobedient to God.. I saw EVERY sign from the start. But I ignored out of pure selfishness and rebellion. A older man was was something different. I often wish God would just take me and give me a brand new body to start again, in many ways, it burdens me to imagine living all the way to 80 with this. And it just doesn't seem right for an 80 year old to have an std. I know that sounds sad and horrible but I can't lie it's depressing. I'll go ahead and throw out all my Nuts coconuts, and coffee maybe I can just look into eating grass 😂 chewing my cud, everything else seems to be to dangerous smh lol😂 JK but thanks for this information video!!🙂

Nuts do go bad. The fat in nuts can go rancid but you can know by taste and smell. Leaving in the car with high heat is a sure way to have them go rancid quickly. Thanks for video!

So coconut meat and milk? You didn't say anything about coconut oil being bad

One of the things that you guys want to talk about is the medication and its side effects. Also the son takes a huge part of the outbreaks how do people deal with that how they protect themselves.

You don't have chocolate cravings. You have mineral cravings. It means you don't have enough minerals in your regular diet. And it is one of the reasons for more and more women has problems with their periods where they feel pains.

Can Maryijauna help herpes

I love chocolate. Do you know anyone who has done what you've recommended and retested and come back with a negative result or a result so small it's practically gone?

Ughh I love coconuts .. I only get them in the same one spot on my bottom lip and they stay small and I use that abreva seems to help . I was searching for causes of breaks out and am devastated that coconut is number one on the list. Lol I have drank 4 actual coconuts from the shells in the last two days and woke up with that dreaded tingle. I am glad to be learning of triggers thank you.

how bout Quinoa, does it trigger outbreak?

Silicium

thank you so much my lady

Been dropping a 1000 mg lysine pill in my smoothies since its tasteless

I don't even know if I have herpes yet but I think I do. I've had what I thought was an outbreak for 1 ¹/2 months wondering why it hasn't gone away. Maybe it's because I eat peanut butter with my oatmeal everyday lol. Fuuuuck

Oh no no no. I have to have caffeine. ☹️ Chocolate raises blood sugar, not lowers it.

Grilled salmon and asparagus very good. I agree. High Argentine is the worse

if i have hsv-1 and my partner has hsv-1 also and we have unprotected sex, will that cause an outbreak?

I just had my first outbreak of genital herpes at sixty one. I've been celebate for 10,11 or 12 years (can't remember exactly) and for the life of me I cannot figure this out. From what I've read, the virus can be dormant for years. I dated a woman who told me she had the virus. I never had anything all those years up until now. The only other thing I can figure is that I got it somehow through food somebody else had touched or eaten? ( I work at a restaurant presently.) To say this has been frustrating is an understatement. Disheartening, actually.

And where back with opra

Foods not to eat 1:coconut anything with coconut basically 2:caffeine no caffeine what so ever 3:chocolate noooooo and chocolate was my first word too 4:nuts like peanuts I got no problem with this 5:Sugar 😔

TOMATOE BASED CAN BRING IT ON FOR ME... BUT A;PHALPHA TABLETS CAN STOP IT IN ITS TRACKS..

I was at a party and I knew chocolate will trigger but those cookies were so tempting u ate like 3 and next day I had an outbreak

Can I eat orange ?

My life is ruined twice by this lol

Cooking oils & fried foods will 💯 act it up.

Thank you

Yes, thx.

Question on effectiveness of el lysine vs el Arginine actually vs el Citrulline. If I need Citrulline to be very effective for workouts or ED, and take Lysine to prevent herpes breakout, does it mean the Citrulline or Arginine will lose the desired effect?

Thanks...oats are huge trigger for me...walnuts have worked ok with my system :) Def peanuts tho!

Caffeine? Or coffee? Which one? De-caff is also acidic

What SHOULD you eat?

Hey, hello. Seriously, %100 dark Chocolate, yea or no? :) it has zero sugar. Did you know that? Black coffee, yea or nah? Seriously, just bean water.

:(

Annoying voice and long winded video.

Way too much mindless babbling

#1 Coconut #2 caffeine #3 chocolate #4 peanuts/nuts #5 sugar

I love your channel. Super informative. I've been dating someone with it for some months. I really don't care. I've done so much research once I noticed he got cold sores ( he actually didn't even know that that meant he had herpes...so we did research together) and I really don't care. Like I've learned it's truly not a health issue, it isn't gonna kill you and the best way I've understood it is like, it's like chickenpox....once you have it....it's there in your system forever. It just pick and chooses when it wants to act up again. Wonderful information source!

So which milk alternative do you recommend??? I drink almond milk and oat milk and I don’t know which has the least amount of Argenine

I was just diagnosed and i found you. I am so grateful to have found you because it is helping me deal with so much. Just depressed and broken 💔. Glad to know that I am allergic to 3 of the 5. However sugar and Coffee are my other addiction 😢 will definitely have to make a ton of changes. Trying to find a community close to me that i can talk to since this brand new dont know where to start helping me. Grateful im not alone.

Thank you for helping others that have herpes. God bless everyone that has any type of herpes.

So I know all herpes is sensitive to what you eat but are these specific to hsv1 since it’s closer to your mouth? Or do these foods effect hsv2 as well? Probably stupid question but I could see how more potent foods could trigger a cold sore cuz you’re chewing it. But then once it gets to stomach acid the food changes. I wonder if there’s research on this.

I just recently switched to coconut milk and I am going thru my 1st outbreak in over a year good to know...ty

You are a beautiful human being, thank you for existing

I was diagnosed with genital herpes a few years ago. I know it's really hard.

Rambling 😖

This is so true! All of the things that you listed broke me out one way or the other. Thank you.

I just got diagnosed with this 2 years ago and like 3 days ago I’ve been in pain had my 2nd outbreak :( and I have to wait for me to get my prescription 😢

4:57 to help save you time 👍

Popcorn and sunflower seeds are bad too

Dark chocolate has the highest percent of caffeine so only small doses if your on your period Ladies lol

I love your channel and it is very informative and you are very brave. For me... nuts are problematic, and i avoid them. In small doses ok, but I won't have them as a snack. But your right, I can't eat alot of it. Coconut milk....yep this is the big one for me to. Curries ok, again small doses.... But if you are substituting milk for coconut milk....Not good. No issues with caffeine!!

Add bread to the list it's all sugar. Would limiting the amount of foods that cause inflammation and mucus buildup also helps?

Where I work they make the best roast turkey and I was eating a lot of it at first until I started making that connection and sure enough turkey is loaded with arginine!

Thank you. I’m so happy I found this.

One weird thing is my daughters allergic to peanuts so I guess good I’m not eating that ever ): lol

Oh girl this was helpful but damn it killed me. I am a caffeine addict and I live for chocolate and sugar 🤦 I'm so sad but I'm so happy that I learned this. I had no idea food had anything to do with outbreaks. Thank you so much for informing and educating people❤️

Is this stories from.... dr. Cure real or scams

You can find curry & coconut in Asian stores, Whole Foods is kinda pricey but it’s your pocket. You decide.

Too much talking...cut to the chase...alot of info not pertinent

What about Almond Milk. I drink coconut milk..... 😭🤯😱

Is honey an ok substitute for sugar?

Couldn’t get past minute 2. So much prefacing and not straight to the point information. Clean it up.

Eat your lentils. Low sodium

Thanks for sharing Love from Mumbai India

thank you for the information very helpful I will be very attention to this kind of food and definitely will write the out come of the result thanks again

I don’t think I have it cuz I eat coconut and it doesn’t do anything to me

What I notice as you do a lot of rambling, just tell people what foods, fluids that will make it grow. The list is alcohol caffeine of any sorts, red meat, poultry, all nuts, chocolate fruits and vegetables that have high acid content. etc Foods that will help. green vegetables, fish, garlic fruits that are low in acid, keep L-Carnitine capsules around. Helps"" offset ""the arginine you get in your diet. Especially when you feel a cold sore coming on! There you have it simple. You get in your diet The

The girl that I have been getting super serious with just told me she is positive and asked if I want to continue, I quickly researched it and feel a bit comfortable about it so I replied to her and told her that yes, I do want to continue. I'm doing a deep dive of it all and although I am scared, I do truly like this girl and want to have something special with her. Very worrisome though, we have had sex without a condom twice and once with it (first time we had sex was with condom) Also, I love all these foods so yikes, BUT my favorite food was not mentioned and that is cheese and milk products. So I think everything will be alright, and I also love quesadillas and all ingredients that can go in them.. also, I saw that there are partners that are with a positive woman and still have not gotten anything, and that it is extremely common, which helped me feel comfortable about it

I dont have Herpes, im just curious, all the power to you all ✊

So you truly think herpes is incurable? I've seen a few success stories, and personally I'm on a detox diet along with oregano oil and it's been working! I'll update if you want once I get tested later this month!

You're awesome! Thank you for this! 💗

You make me feel so comfortable knowing that It’s ok to have herpes and not be ashamed of living with it . I so love you and feel like we are closer that ever and I really don’t even no you. But since we have herpes we are family.💕💕

Chocolate! Noooooooo😔😔 and how much si much caffeine?
