Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I have never found any correlation between food and rosacea flareups. I should say that I don't drink alcohol or very hot beverages and avoid spicey foods ANYWAY. That said, I've honestly NEVER had a flareup that I could connect to any food. My main triggers are sunlight, heat, visting a doctor, and certain drugs that act as vaso-dilators. Do most/many rosaceans have food triggers? I wonder if some people may be modifying their diet needlessly, in the belief that food triggers MAY cause a flare? It's a shame to avoid tomatoes (for e.g.) if they're not really an offender -- Cooked tomatoes appear to be a good protection against prostate cancer in men. If you're avoiding dairy, are you able to get enough calcium from other sources? (Real important for women.) Sugar, on the other hand, is something we can all do without no matter what! trackgalcal (Please reply to the whole group) > > Although I started late last week with the best intentions of a new, > > rosacea friendly diet, I found myself indulging in many taboo foods > > today including tomatoes, avocadoes, dairy, wheat, sugar--UGH! > > Deryk, > This is the first time I hear avocados mentioned as taboo food - can anyone > comment on this?
