Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 Dan, I get a bit of redness and bumps with honey. Sugar is ok for me, though. I don't know if it's yeast in honey that causes the problems. Honey seems acidic and I have problems with citrus and vinegar, too.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 P.S. Maple syrup is ok for me too. HOney seems to be the only sweetener that causes problems. I really think the problem is its acidity. " matija " wrote: original article:/group/rosacea-support/?start=10 547 > Dan, > > I get a bit of redness and bumps with honey.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 Any sugars bother me. I can have a little, but if I go overboard I wake up the next morning with bumps and itching. Its always the next morning. Patty Matija wrote: > > P.S. Maple syrup is ok for me too. HOney seems to be the only > sweetener that causes problems.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 Dan You may be reacting to the honey since it comes from pollen. If you have allergies it will cause problems for you...it does for me. Donna Dan Kenton wrote: Has anyone found adverse reactions to using honey as a sweetener.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 1999 Report Share Posted December 7, 1999 Hi all! In regards to honey. I just recently had a cold (actually I still do) but for the cough I was taking honey by the teaspoonful atleast 3 times a day. My face looks great! It looked good before I got sick and didn't change at all. Metrogel and Cetaphil Cleansing lotion seemed to be all I needed to get my cea under control. Here's to a good skin day! ---------- > > To: rosacea-supporteGroups > Subject: Reaction to sweeteners (honey) > Date: Tuesday, December 07, 1999 11:12 AM > > Has anyone found adverse reactions to using honey as a sweetener.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Actually, if you eat (use?) dark local honey it will help you build up immunity to whatever is in the air that is causing an allergic reaction. I had friends who kept bees and learned this from them. > Re: Reaction to sweeteners (honey) > > Dan > > You may be reacting to the honey since it comes from pollen.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 This is a repeat for one of our members but here is what little I know. This info is from some friends from way back who had bees..... Light honey is from clover. After all the clover is gone, the bees get pollen from whatever is blooming - stuff like ragweed (only one I can think of) that is blowing around in the air and causes allergies. With this pollen, the bees produce dark honey. If you get local dark honey, it will be made from whatever is flying around in the air in your area. I get it from the neighborhood health food store - check the label. I'd be willing to bet it would help allergies - that's what they told me. Fortunately that's one problem I don't have. Another tip they gave me is that if you combine 2 tsp of honey and 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar in a small juice glass of warm water (to dissolve the honey) and add ice cubes it will help arthritis and also act as a diuretic. Tastes like apple juice. > Re: Re: Reaction to sweeteners (honey) > > In a message dated 12/8/99 7:00:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, > LFARKAS@... writes: > > << if you eat (use?) dark local honey it will help you build up > immunity to whatever is in the air that is causing an allergic reaction. > >> > > I've heard that before but I've never tried it!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Internal yeast is not a problem for me, but I still react to honey. Maple syrup and other sugar (corn syrup, fruit sweeteners, cane sugar) are all ok.
