Hi ,

Thanks for the info. But I am really curious about this, confused. On so many

lists of trigger foods for rosacea sufferers to avoid, Soy is there...so, taking

it as a supplement? I saw that Ms. Herbalist also put in on her list of very

important, beneficial food groups, but I am hesitant to use as I understood soy

for the rosacea sufferer was a no-no.

Can anyone explain?

Thanks.

reduction in all PMS symptoms, including particularly a marked

reduction in flushing, which has been a real problem for me at that

time of the month. I also have a reduction in crabbiness,

bloatiness, tenderness and the PM munchies.

I take in about 200 mg of soy isoflavones per day. My understanding

is you need at least 150-160 to see such benefits. :)

Hi,

I looked at the NRS list (available at http://www.rosacea.org), and

it does not mention soy. It does mention *soy sauce*, however. Here's

the list:

Some rosacea sufferers have reported a wide variety of foods that

trigger flare-ups in their individual cases. Examples have included

cheese, sour cream, yogurt, citrus fruit, liver, chocolate, vanilla,

soy sauce, yeast extract (though bread is OK), vinegar, eggplant,

avocados, spinach, broad-leafed beans and pods, and foods high in

histamine or niacin. Taking an antihistamine about two hours before a

meal may counter the effects of histamine, while aspirin may reduce

the effects of niacin-containing foods in sufferers affected by these

substances.

I could be wrong, but I believe soy sauce is made by a fermentation

process (kind of like wine), and it's in the fermentation process

that histamine is created in soy sauce. I think soy supplements, tofu

and soy beans are ok. It's the soy sauce that may cause some people

problems. I know it has caused some people on the list problems. For

some it hasn't. You just have to check it out for yourself to see if

it would effect you by causing a rosacea flare.

Take care,

Matija

Hi Marie--I think you might be confusing soy with soy sauce. Soy

sauce is highly fermented and contains a lot of yeast, both of which

can be triggers. I've never heard of unfermented soy being a

trigger. Just like beer might be a trigger but barley isn't. If

you have seen plain soy listed as a trigger, let me know where you've

seen it. I'd like to check it out. Thanks! :)
