Welcome to our group. Lots of suggestions abound within our list.

Your Alycin may be one of those bf babies who only has bms once a week.

But, in the meantime, try adding prunes to your diet. The laxative effect

that they have on you will also pass over through your bm to DD.

Wishing you luck,

New Complexion by Revlon sells a powder (I use the Yellow!) a

concealer--these come in yellow or green (again, yellow for ME) that I

have found non-irritating. Because I have somewhat oily skin, I like

the yellow concealing powder after the zinc-o, because it gives the skin

a less oily/greasy appearance; I can tan this up by using the bronzer

from Sy cosmetics, or a blusher (s)! -- There are several shades

in the New Complexion line; none of this seems to have broken me out.

The Revlon might be ColorStay--they sit right together at the Long's

drugstore, both are in black packaging and I am constantly getting them

confused! Most of the time, I try to use as few " cover-ups " as possible

on my poor skin ( which seems to get easily " overloaded " ) in an attempt

to keep it as break-out-free as I possibly can. and...I'm in my

fifties; it's been a long difficult adolescence for some of us

Hi,

Welcome to our group and thank you for your very interesting information

regarding the special mud in South America. We are always looking for

alternative treatments and I would be interested in your ongoing usage of

this mud and how it helps your rosacea.

Amber,

This is a support group and hopefully we can do just that...I always

suspect when the " all in your mind " diagnosis is brought out, it's due

to ignorance/total lack of knowledge! laziness in terms of doing the

research necessary to learn more about a problem!and the " ignore it and

it'll go away " doesn't seem very effective!

Hi Seth,

I have known for the longest time that digestion and regularity had major

impact on the condition of my skin. I

kept record of what helped along with what made things worse for years. I spent

hundreds of hours researching all

aspects. And that is basically how I put my diet program together. Chewing

longer and adding more fiber and oil to

the diet are the most important factors necessary to improve digestion and

transit time. I had digestive problems

for 30 years along with more bowel episodes than you would want to hear about.

Following the basics of my program

and keeping record of what works for you as an individual will improve

digestion. Than your skin problems will also

improve.

Take care,

Mark

Seth,

You may be onto something here---I'm tracking myself in this regard and

by golly! don't know if its bacterial or what but the diarrhea like

symptoms flushing and bumps seem to be connected; I've upped my intake

of acidophilus/etc liquid, and capsules...certainly can't hurt! and also

am trying to remember to be " better " about my drinking quantities of

water--which I've fallen off of lately, due to travel

Thanks!

[Guest guest]

Seth,

You may be onto something here---I'm tracking myself in this regard and

by golly! don't know if its bacterial or what but the diarrhea like

symptoms flushing and bumps seem to be connected; I've upped my intake

of acidophilus/etc liquid, and capsules...certainly can't hurt! and also

am trying to remember to be " better " about my drinking quantities of

water--which I've fallen off of lately, due to travel

Thanks!

Carol
