foods,heat edema and rosacea

[Guest guest]

I recently said to my doctor that I am sure food is one of the biggest

influences on my skin.

Now I know I don't have any food allergies, but, after eating my face bloats.

The doctor dismissed this and said that it's almost impossible for food to

effect rosacea so quickly.

I am wondering if others have found that food really effects their facial

" bloating " (pls excuse the crude term) and if anyone has kept their rosacea

edema under control successfully just by adapting their diet? I wonder if it is

just heat from the body obviously food is a fuel, I get huge swelling after

eating carbs but perhaps this is because the foods are high energy and ofcourse

the more energy the more heat..?)

The doctor also said that rosacea swelling is usually hard, as in the case of

new tissue formation. My swelling is not like that it's a constant puffiness

around the eyes and quite frequently my cheeks could be two balloons filled with

water - saggy cheek look if you see what I mean. It's enough to make my face

look different but not enough for there to be an obvious swelling ie a lump so i

think the doctor as he has only known me for a year doesn't appreciate what I

used to look like.
