Eric,

Reflux and palpitations are not a good sign. I would recommend seeing a
physician. You may need to increase your carbohydrate since you are so
sensitive to this metabolic change in your diet. Discuss with your physician
your change in diet.

How much carbohydrate do you estimate you ate on a daily basis before you
tried the RD? Would you guess around 90% carbohydrate based upon what
you have learned from this experience? The RD is 6% carbohydrate.

You may need to simply increase your carbohydrate to resolve these side
effects. Not everyone can handle a low carbohydrate diet and you may need
to try another approach to controlling your rosacea.
