Hello and welcome. The thing to remember is that ANY thing can be a trigger
and not everything will effect every one in the same way. The trigger foods are
really just suggestions of foods that tend to give the most problems. IT's
commonly thought that nightshade type vegetables cause problems. But everyone
has to sort of figure it out for themselves. The goal of the rosacea diet is to
limit carbs and eliminate sugar to get yourself under control and then go from
there. Obviously, if you actually know you have a problem with a food then
don't use it. There are enough options for you to take advantage of. You'll
find your way. Good luck.

Take care,
Elena

Hi. I'm new to this group, so hello to all!

I have the early stages of Rosacea with hot/itchy red flareups which
subside after about an hour. My forehead and increasing the cheeks are
red/blotchy in appearance. I have bought myself a copy of the Rosacea
Diet and am about to start the 30 diet. Over the past few months I
have done endless amounts of reading (bet I'm not the 1st one here to
have done that?!) on the triggers of the red flare-ups. Looking
through the Rosacea Diet there are a number of foods that seem to
conflict with things I have read (e.g.
http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/7-17-2006-102610.asp) which are
included in the diet. These are tomatoes, sausage, vinegar, cheese,
eggplants, avocadoes, spinach. It just seem odd that foods that are
reported to be triggers are included in the diet.

From people experiences, are the foods listed above ok to include?
Thanks
