Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 trackgalcal: You are absolutely right. I never said that chocolate is a tripwire, the NRS says it may be. I personally do not feel chocolate or cocoa is a tripwire. I do feel that the sugar in the chocolate is a potential tripwire but that is a different subject. The NRS does not list sugar as a tripwire, but Dr. Nase does. The discussion I was trying to point out is that there is much confusion over tripwires, triggers and flushing. Everyone has different ideas what these terms mean as pointed out by Dr. Lazoff.

The GENERAL heading is tripwires, and chocolate is listed as one of many foods reported by some rosaceans to cause flare-ups some of the time. Thus, the only evidence reported here is anecdotal. If that's enough for you to consider chocolate a tripwire, then by all means embrace it in your beliefs. By the same token, ANY food implicated by a rosacean could be considered a tripwire. But the gist of this report, as I read it, is simply to avoid foods that you, as an individual, have identified as troublemakers. It doesn't say or imply that foods such as chocolate are to be avoided by every rosacean. trackgalcal -- Brady Barrows - webmaster for http://www.rosaceans.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rosaceans http://www.rosacea-control.com http://www.rosaceadiet.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-diet-users-support-group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
