Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 GI problem is the CAUSE for most people. cea is only a symptom. Replying to your email gives me a chance to share the latest in my book. My weight dropped to 74lbs a few months ago because I was afraid to eat - everything I put in my mouth resulted in severe hives. Through networking, I learned about the product line called Gardenoflife and started taking their supplements in addition to Mark's directions (his diet and treatment approach is great). The distributors for the new products are Primaldefence.com and transformyourlife.com. Be prepared for a high price for getting better. But... best wishes allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 ok, i think saying GI problems are the cause of rosacea for most people is WAY out of line. i've never had a stomach problem in my life and i'm 45. if you were to take the percentage of people, without rosacea, that have stomach problems and compare it to the percentage of people, with rosacea, that have the same stomach problems....it'd be my bet that it would be close to the same percentage. i'd venture to say that we could say the same thing about people that drive a car, take mass transit, work in the food industry..... blah blah blah... anyway, that's my opinion. syd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I have recently started taking acidipholus and I do believe that they have helped me. I have had severe seborrheic dermatitis and nothing I tried worked including steroids and other vitamin regimens such as B5 and fish oils. I started taking the acidophilus and my sebderm has improved dramatically over the last month--I take about four pills a day, 2 in AM and 2 in PM. I have acne rosacea as well and it is hard to determine if the acidipholis is helping these symptoms but it has definitely worked for the sebderm (red, oozing, flaking patches on forehead, eyebrows) I have also had some severe GI problems as well over the past 8 years but that has recently improved due to a drastic change in diet and perhaps the acidipholus has helped also. For me diet, very limited dairy and very limited alcohol has helped control the GI issues. Bottom line, acidipholus is really cheap and easy to take and I have never read of any negative side effects--give it a try. > >To: rosacea-support >Subject: Stomach problems >Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 19:47:17 -0000 > >I'm just curious....do most of the rosacea sufferers on this board >also experience stomach/gastro-intestinal problems as well?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 My personal belief is that cea is a term used to describe people who flush unexplainably to anything. This can be caused by a bunch of different things. I'd bet that a small percentage of people with " cea " have it because of Gastrointestinal problems. And that if those people treat the Gastrointestinal illness, their cea will go away. The same thing could probably be said about H Pylori or Demodex Mites. The vast majority of people who suffer from cea however will probably not see their symptoms disappear or decrease by treating some other condition. (With the possible exception of allergies!) But just because most people don't have any related problems, doesn't mean that a few people won't benefit from these types of suggestions. Anyway, just my opinion, but knowin' me I'm probably wrong!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 You absolutely right in saying you and many others 'never had stomach problems' neither had I according to how i felt and a million of every possible test - form blood to candida culture to thyroid - that traditional doctors did on me in the course of years. Until a month ago I did a non-traditional test revealing the severest stage of candida and other beauties. I am not trying to convert or convince anybody. Just sharing what I have gone through. End of discussion on my part. Best wiahes to everybody on this wonderful site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Dear et al, Beware the " non-traditional test " . I am skeptical when those outside the medical community have answers that no one else has...particularly when they contradict medical testing as you say these new tests do. It bespeaks outright quackery at one end of the spectrum and misbegotten beliefs at the other. Many of the non-traditional claims are undocumented in any way that rational folks could sign up for. It is not enough to have adherents and believers and anecdotal " cures " . Claims must be able to stand the full light of scientific scrutiny....and unless you believe that the medical world is conspiratorial in a concerted way, real " cures " , effective tests, or whatever do get attention.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I think it's a possibility I had stomach problems that I didn't realize until later. It was when my rosacea was at it's worst my stomach seemed to be bigger then normal bigger then it is now and I weigh 7 lbs more then I did then. It's pretty flat right now. Anyways I took acidophilus to go with my antibiotics and my stomach just totally flattened out within two weeks after starting to take the acidophilus. I wonder sometimes if that didn't have something to do with the rash on my forehead and my eye flaring. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I used to agree - up until my Mom developed very high blood pressure. After a year and a half of " conventional " drugs and absolutely no results from them - - I got Mom some emu oil capsules from the Purple Emu folks and TA-DA !! after 4 weeks her pressure had dropped 40 to 50 points ?? The only thing she was doing different was taking one emu oil capsule with her blood pressure meds. I haven't seen any conventional testing on it but - - I'll take seeing is believing.
