ROSACEA diet (Reverse the Redness) 2024

[@lerougenoir]

Hi Dr. Berry! I just want to say how much I agree with it! I have rosacea and I have found that eating less carbs, low glycemic index diet, no processed junks, and avoiding DAIRY, has greatly reduced my rosacea symptoms. Whenever I eat cheese, my redness is insane, same thing with high carb load. I also found that when I eat white rice, my skin gets very oily. Diet is a huge factor in skin diseases, and I'm disappointed that dermatologists never try to address with patients. Thank you for your videos!

1. conventional doctors are not taught about nutrition 2. they'd lose money and their jobs by telling people about nutrition 3. many people are lazy and don't want to make real change, they just want pills, etc so they can continue doing the wrong thing for their health

[@rebeccawebb2298]

Going keto did not cure my rosacea. But removing all dairy products did, which I decided to avoid after eating keto for a few months. Absolutely no rosacea symptoms at all since removing dairy. I have beautiful skin now. I was so angry that my doctors had no trouble treating rosacea, but never once, not one time, suggested it was dietary. I'm still angry about their ignorance, especially since dairy and gluten intolerances are so common.

[@mrs8171]

So happy to hear that you have found success. If I can ask, what do you prefer to eat for breakfast?

[@toddmichael8668]

I am suffering from rosacea symptoms myself (going on 2 years now); I've been mainly keto-carnivore for over 2 years and I have to agree with you; I think that dairy is the culprit in all this (it can't be junk food or wheat as I don't consume those foods anymore).....I'm cutting out all dairy starting tomorrow. Thanks for the post, it reinforced my "dairy" hypothesis

Hi Ken..... Hello from Liverpool, England. I have been following your channel for just over a year I was 200lbs with rosacea breaking out Twice a month. I went low carb high fat, no grains or crappy oils. I have lost 45lbs and my rosacea has completely gone. I feel invigorated, I sleep better. You have helped me so much. The only downside is that I had to drop two clothes sizes and get new gear. lol 🤣🤣👍 ...... As we say in Liverpool...... Result👍. Regards ......Steve 🖖

[@chris922631]

I never had rosacea till I was 53. At first it wasn't too bad but it got progressively worse. People began to say things like: "Were you out in the sun too long?" Finally I went to an allergist and I had a series of tests done. Turns out that I was allergic to peanuts. It was hard to believe because I had eaten tons of peanuts my whole life and never had a problem. But I did stop eating peanuts and the rosacea disappeared. About a year later I was hiking up in Tahoe and, after a long hike, I bought a big bag of roasted peanuts and devoured them in one sitting, (I totally forgot about the allergy.) I woke up a day or two later and saw that the rosacea had returned. I have not eaten one peanut since then and the rosacea has never shown up again.

[@Bassbarbie]

This is interesting to me. I thought I had developed it at age 62 - although doc reckoned it was seborrheic dermatitis - pustules were appearing every day and I didn't have any scaly patches, so I wasn't convinced . I thought it was my diet and one thing I had changed was that I was having peanut butter every morning on rye bread. I stopped it and it has really calmed down now, although I'm not 100% there yet.

[@injanhoi1]

Mine turned up when I hit 40. I gained weight. It seems to be a middle age thing. I will change my diet. I possibly may be allergic to something which I hope to find out.

I went carnivore for many reasons, and didn't realize that it was going to help my rosacea! At first I stuck with strictly carnivore, but I didn't give up a little bit of hot sauce, which I know is supposed to be a flareup trigger. I don't eat hot sauce much anymore, but since I've been carnivore my rosacea has disappeared to the point that hot sauce on occasion doesn't bother me anymore. Thanks!

Great video Dr. Berry. I'm 45, I was diagnosed about a 2 weeks ago. It started three years ago in a really simple way, nothing to worry about (or so I thought). Just small red spots on my cheeks and temples, then the pimples and papules started, then my entire face was red and people were asking if I went to the beach or something. I went to a dermatologist, who told me I had seborrheic dermatitis. She prescribed me things that treat SB, like a compound that had alcohol in it, which is terrible for rosacea. Of course, she never said anything about about not drinking alcohol, not taking hot showers, avoiding sunlight and hot/spicy foods. So, there I am, an idiot, eating and drinking the wrong things as if nothing mattered. Needless to say, my skin got worse, it hurt, it burned, I couldn't even shave. Even resting my head on a pillow hurt. Then I went to another doctor, who told me it was rosacea after all. And then another doctor confirmed it. I lost many months as my face got worse than ever, so I hope is not too late for me because rhinophyma is a terrible faith. Advice: ask for a second and even third opinion on your condition.

I've taken very dangerous medicine like Oracea and used all of the creams, lotions, gels, etc without much improvement. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and went on the HFLC Keto diet about a year and a half ago. My rosacea started clearing up immediately, and I am now almost free of it. I didn't know that would happen, but I am thrilled! I have lost 80 pounds and feel fantastic! My belly fat went away very quickly.

I have a super severe rosacea...all the doctors that have seen me over the years agree that it's the most resistant form of rosacea they have ever seen.

[@catmom9755]

I wish I could say that Keto fixed my rosacea, but even after two years, during which my diabetes reversed, it was as bad as ever. The only thing that worked was ivermectin based "horse paste" I bought for a few bucks on Amazon, mixed with some Cereve lotion and applied to my face at night. It's completely cleared up now. Ivermectin is the active ingredient in a very expensive prescription medication for rosacea. This was an extremely affordable alternative that worked like magic!

I developed rosacea approximately a year and a half ago. I’ve been clean keto/carnivore for over 2 years. I’m a chiropractor and an athlete so now I believe some of my patients when they say they have changed theirs diet and it hasn’t helped. I will say my last menstrual cycle was last August. I am now on bio identical HRT. The rosacea started before my last menstrual cycle. My diet is so clean. There has to be a hormonal component in my case. My insulin is always low.

[@nwviking7633]

Hello Dr. Berry. I had been dealing with rosacea for several years, it started coming on about ten years ago and steadily progressed. I had talked to my general practice doc along with a handful of Dermatologist, all of which gave me the same standard answer which was there's was nothing I could do but put on this or that cream to help and they of course didn't really help in any way. I started to eat more as a carnivore and started dropping a whole lot of foods that were not needed and the biggest of those would be the grains in fact what made me go that way is that I had become very gluten intolerant. To my astonishment, that fixed the Rosacea issue completely. every once in awhile I get a little stupid and eat something grain heavy or have a beer and like clock work, within a couple days I'll have a flair up. So in short, dropping grains, seed oils and just the standard garbage many consider to be food made a huge impact for me.

[@DJP4Liberty]

I've had rosacea on the back of my head since at least Jr. High track, causing an extremely itchy scalp (I'm 36). It bothered me so bad I'd often scratch my head while running races. It eventually spread to my face and often-times when shaving I would shave off as much skin as hair. The only thing that seemed to help was a lot of sunlight which meant I had to keep my head buzzed down close. Even then I'd end up with an extremely irritated scalp for a few days afterwards. I traced the cause of my rosacea down to eating sunflower seeds, which I've eaten almost religiously since grade school tee-ball. It went completely away when I went strict Carnivore for a month. I had a couple hand-fulls of sunflower seeds one afternoon as a "treat" and 2 days later the rosacea came back with a vengeance. After a month it finally cleared up and, me being the experimenter, had to verify with another couple of hand-fulls. Yes, in my case, it was definitely the seeds.

I started keto about a year ago & transitioned to carnivore to get my weight under control. I had rosacea and ocular rosacea at the time I started the diet. I had no idea that keto would have a positive effect on my rosacea. The conditions greatly improved while doing keto. They completely went away about 3 months into carnivore. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months. I was on 3 blood pressure medications. Now down to 1. Skin tags gone. I can sit under a ceiling fan without my eyes burning from the ocular rosacea.

A few serious things that have helped my rosacea is being on keto and avoiding phytoestrogens like soy, almonds, etc. Then another huge game changer has been adding boron since I have estrogen dominance and boron helps to level out my estrogen.

So glad I listened to this and read some of these posts. I've been working on my diet and I totally relate.

Also for circulation, I am exercising more, soaking my lower legs in hot epson salt baths and using professional- and self-massage around problem skin areas.

So I’m an Indian, been dealing w rosacea for a year. Indians eat foods that are extreme on both spices and sugars. We eat a lot of sweets + some parts of the country ( especially in the south of India, spicy foods are very common ). Also the paranthas, chapatis ( Indian breads ), chats contain gluten in them. For me the trigger for rosacea is certainly gluten. Every time I ate anything that had gluten in it, my skin would flare up and get really red / pink and thick in texture. I’m not a very firm believer in anti-biotics or the topical creams ( as they just treat the symptoms ) externally for a short period with a lot of side effects. I saw a homeopath ( functional doctor ) for me this helped. Ayurveda, reiki and Accupuncture are other options I’m looking at for a permanent or at least long term results for reversing my rosacea. Long story cut short. After I’ve quit dairy and gluten my skin has significantly improved. I’m looking at getting an enema done ( trying natural things to cleanse and detox my gut at home for a while now ) keeping alcohol, sugars and processed foods away has largely helped my skin recover. Another angle to this - whenever I meditate, my skin is glowing. Keeping stress at bay, clearing up our emotional baggage, unresolved past, traumas and wounds significantly help our physical conditions. This is what I’ve experienced so far as I’m concerned. I used to have flare ups before in the sun and I don’t have it now after cutting out the gluten and dairy. I hope my comment can help others going through this. Be kind to yourself and love yourself fiercely. Because if you don’t, who else will? You attract what you think, what you eat and what you are. Re-wiring those hardwired habit patterns sometimes is all that we need. Sending healing, prayers and lot of love to all those suffering from whatever health conditions. The word - in (curable) which is so frightening for so many of us to hear simply means that something outside of us cannot cure it ( which means we must go within ) to heal ! 2 books that helped me in my roscoes journey so far - “being Supernatural - by dr. “Joe dispenza” and “how to heal your body through your mind” - by Louise Hay. These 2 books talk about how Mind influences matter, what we think in the mind becomes a sensation in the body - is the clear message given here with a lot of scientific back up of course. I attended a meditation course back here in India called the “Vipassana” for ten days. You could browse about it for more information. All these really helped me in my journey! I wish you all the very best of luck 🤞 Extreme fear of abandonment, fears in general and drowning in lot of negative emotions like hate, anger, anxiety, depression, jealousy, resentment, guilt, shame, self-destructive thoughts can really trigger our physical conditions in a negative way. Gratitude, love, abundance mindset can do the reverse. So by this I mean - track back and watch your mental patterns and thinking processes. If you can relate to anything I said about it, It’s time you work on letting go of it. You will see that the root issue when addressed will take away more than half of your physical conditions and diseases. This is true for me and so it can be true for a lot of you here. Journaling, therapy, meditation and self-belief / self-acceptance has helped me come a long way both mentally and physically. Surround yourself with people who are positive for your well-being and accept you for who you are. These little changes really help us go a long way. People always have an opinion about everything and anything. And they are often a projection of who “they” are, not who “YOU” are. Remember - if our body was able to create a disease, it also has the ability to heal !!! ❤✨ let no one tell you that something you have is not reversible. You know your bodies better. Listen to them, pay attention to what your body is saying to you. It really helps ❤

That was a informative article, here area few more tips for people who might have Rosacea. 1. Do you really think you have Rosacea or have you been looking on the internet too much? It may be common, affecting up to one in ten people, but red faces are not always rosacea. Dermatologists often see patients who are worried that they may have developed rosacea, perhaps following a bit of internet searching, but they may actually have another condition altogether. Facial redness simply occurs because there in increased blood flow to the top part of the skin, perhaps because of inflammation, sun damage or fixed widening of vessels. 2. Don’t panic great treatment is available. at the moment it is impossible to cure rosacea however it is extremely responsive to the right treatment and can often be completely controlled. Patients are often very worried when they come to see a Dermatologist that they may have a long-term progressive condition. People particularly worry about the development of a thickened nasal skin, a condition called rhinophyma. 3. Don’t spend ridiculous amounts on cosmetics. Rosacea is a common condition which is often distressing. The cosmetics industry is worth billions of dollars. Unfortunately the claims that cosmetic companies make about their products being able to cure rosacea are mostly bogus. Cosmetics don’t reverse or reliably treat inflammatory rosacea, despite some companies’ extraordinary claims. So what does help? Simple cleansers and moisturisers like the Cetaphil range and sunblocks such as Anthelios, Sun Sense products or Altruist. Cover up foundations and powders and green-tinted moisturisers may also be helpful to cover redness and improve confidence. 4. Consider Seeing A Dermatologist. Dermatologists are the professionally trained skin specialists in the UK. If you have any concerns about diagnosis and management of your skin condition it is worth seeing a Dermatologist to obtain an expert opinion and place you on the right treatment path. The diagnosis of inflammatory conditions of the face can sometimes be difficult as conditions often overlap. New treatments are coming through all the time and complex treatments such as laser are best done by clinicians with relevant experience. In the UK you can check whether a doctor has completed Dermatology Specialist Training to become a Dermatologist on the specialist register of the General Medical Council. Look for ‘Dermatology’ under the doctor’s specialist register entry details. (I learned these and the reasons they work from Natural remedy blueprint site )
