Diet

[Guest guest]

HI,

I would like to share something that happened to me, and have readers comment.

My rosacea had been very bad since Dec. I had a lot of problems on my nose,

bumps,pimples, redness all that goes with this condition.

Several weeks ago I had a very bad allergic reaction to a food. I took some

Benedryl but my head was very stuffy, and I lost my voice ( to the joy of my

family ). Nothing tasted good, and since i have allergies to most medication,

Dr. said, steam my head,drink lots of water, and soup and try to tough it out.

Well for a week I was only having chicken broth, and water. I was steaming my

head by closing up the bathroom,and running lots of hot water, ever few hours. I

stopped using all hand and body lotion.

Now here comes the interesting part. After 3 days of this, I had no sign of

rosacea. After 6 days I added steamed rice and lean chicken, and lean steak to

my diet. Thought I needed some protien, was getting weak and dizzy. Face was

still clear. On the 11th day went back to regular diet, had whole wheat toast

for breakfast, and pasta with mild sauce for lunch, by 3 p.m. I had red spots on

my nose again, next day had them on cheecks and forehead. On day 12 went

outside, and whole face became red and itchy. Used vinegar water to calm it

down. But the nose is still red and I have a few small bumps on the top.

I am going out today, because it is overcast and rainey, to the mall to get a

sun hat, a big one. One thing I know for sure is that Sun does make it worse.

But I now have ever reason to believe something in food I'm eating is a trigger.

However since I have a pretty healty diet, and don't eat the things I have read

are triggers. Anyone have any thought on this???

Also I have used a lot of lotions , many recommended by Dr. and just got worse,

so now I am just using a little olive oil. Any help here, as you can guess olive

oil is oily...lol. Husband says he doesn't know if he should kiss me or lick my

face...lol.

Looking forward to hearing your thought on this. M.J.
