I am finally starting to see improvements in my Rosacea. I think the lemon water is helping. I need to start keeping a Rosacea Diary. If I see a change I will make a journal entry for that day. This way I can look for trigger foods, since I am already keeping a food diary on FS.
Severity:
On a scale of 0-5, rate the status of my rosacea
0 = no flare
1 = mild flare
2 = mild-to-moderate flare
3 = moderate flare
4 = moderate-to-severe flare
5 = severe flare
Possible aggravating factors:
•Environment (Sun exposure? Windy? Humid?)
•Emotional stress?
•Food and drink (Acid forming foods? Hot liquids?)
Cheese
Beef
Alcohol (red wine)
Yeast
Refined Sugar
•Heat: (Heavy exercise? Outdoor heat? Indoor heat?)
•Skin care products on face?
•Other?
Root Causes:
•Repeated exposure to rosacea triggers (alcohol, wind, sun, etc.)
•Low levels of stomach acid
•Constipation
•A diet that’s high in fat and low in fiber
•Food allergies
•Nutritional deficiencies (especially of B vitamins)
•Dysbiosis (imbalance of the gut bacteria)
•Hormone imbalance
•Reaction to synthetic hormones
