Re: diet (was not for the squeamish)

Let's all try eating one or two cups of brown rice every day for a week or

two, and then report our results. If regularity suppresses rosacea, eating

brown rice every day will certainly encourage it. And brown rice is loaded

with B-vitamins and is not listed as a food trigger on any rosacea ban lists

I've seen.

Hi All,

Rice might not be on any rosacea list, but it's still a trigger for me. I

don't know if it's because I'm allergic to it (my daughter tested allergic

to it) but it makes my nose swell. I've given up grains completely now that

rice and corn are out along with all the gluten grains. I give up!

DITTO on the rice. I cannot eat rice, corn, wheat, any gluten foods and I

steer clear of most carbohydrates, except in small amounts. Everyone is

different but I've spent a lot of effort trying to figure out my symptoms.

My facial redness and bumps are not too bad, but the eye irritation, joint

pains, light sensitivity and migraines are killers!!!! I also have a flare up

of shingles ... not the rash just the pain. If anyone has ever had shingles,

they know what I'm talking about. I will do anything to avoid that kind of

pain!

Does anyone know if osteoarthritis and rosacea go hand in hand? Terry

Terry,

I don't know - but you could be describing my symptoms. Thor.

I don't know, but I have what my doctor called allergic arthritis and it

certainly seems to be connected. My main food trigger for the arthritis and

the eye problems is almonds, but I'm not sure if it's the almonds themselves

or the chemicals they're saturated with or both. The other foods that

bother me in this respect are eggs, other nuts, and regular dairy (I can get

away with a little organic/hormone free etc...).

Hi ,

I have the other problems you listed, and recently I've had terrible pain

all down the back of my right arm and the outer edge of that armpit. It's

hard to describe, but it's like the skin is really sore and terribly

sensitive to the touch-like if it was terribly chapped or something. I

don't know if this is what shingles pain feels like, but it sure is

uncomfortable. I had shingles when I was 17 (you should have seen the look

on my doctor's face!) and it didn't really hurt then-he said I was lucky.

Anyway, I was diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity, and since I

started taking measures to control my exposure almost all of my symptoms are

gone. I get flare-ups when I go shopping and so on, but as long as I don't

overdo it the symptoms go away quickly after I go home. There is an

excellent website http://www.mcsrr.org/ that I mentioned on the group a

while back which describes MCS and possible symptoms, triggers, etc... I

just wanted to mention it in case it could be affecting you too. Take care!

I too had shingles when I was 17 do you think this is just a coincidence?
