Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Hi, I too came to the same conclusion after reading about arginine and lysines. I stopped eating foods high in arginine only and also started taking the L-Lysine. My face was great for about 3 weeks! I thought, again, I had found the solution for me. Last wednesday my cheeks and jawline started getting very red and it lasted through saturday, that is the longest " flare " I've ever had so it was scary. By sunday morning my face looked like I have no rosacea and today it looks even better. I have been on a high protein, very low carb diet for months and keep a daily food and activity diary. For the life of me I can not figure out what foods trigger my rosacea. I can eat almost exactly the same menu on different days and one day I'll have absolutely no reaction and other days I will. Personally I tend to think that my rosacea is more controlled by my personal monthly cycle and changes in hormonal and other levels than by what I eat. .....but bottom line is I DONT KNOW.

On Sunday night I had pot roast. No problem. But at work on Monday, for lunch I had leftover pot roast, and wham! I was purple. I wonder if something isn't building up. Maybe I can only have pot roast every other day or something. Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
