Rosacea can be one of the most frustrating conditions to have because it is often mistaken for acne or skin sensitivity. Because it’s frequently misdiagnosed and therefore wrongly treated, sufferers of this skin condition find controlling it through the Rosacea diet much more effective. Research has discovered that Rosacea can be hereditary or caused by bacteria, mites and even fair skin. Symptoms, however, can be managed and kept to a minimum through good dietary choices.

What are the symptoms of Rosacea?

Cases of Rosacea range from minor to severe and if left untreated, symptoms can get worse. One of the most common telltale signs of this skin ailment is flushing episodes. This is when the skin feels uncomfortably hot and you experience a blush on the face, neck and chest. Skin turns red for a few minutes per episode but without treatment through medication, surgery or the Rosacea diet, the blush turns into permanent redness.

Another symptom is skin that is sensitive to touch and to sunlight. Spots might appear on the face and skin might become blotchy or swollen. It is also common for blood vessels on the nose and cheeks to appear in a formation that resembles a spider web. Other signs include blurred vision, burning in the eyes, inflamed eyelids and an enlarged nose.

Which foods trigger Rosacea?

It is believed that hot foods and drinks can flare up symptoms. Patients are also warned to avoid caffeinated drinks and spicy foods. Dairy products like cheese, milk and cream are also known for aggravate the condition.

Which foods treat and control Rosacea?

There is no one exhaustive Rosacea diet. Some patients have reported seeing symptoms after eating beans, vinegar and spinach. Others say that chocolate, cheese and citrus fruits are the culprits behind their worsening condition. This means that your Rosacea diet should be unique to you because even the healthiest of foods can intensify your condition.

The best way to go about creating your daily diet is to stick to balanced meals. Include plenty of proteins from meat, fish, eggs, beans and milk and carbohydrates from whole wheat breads, pastas, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Avoid processed, packaged foods and treats with excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates to be safe. Cook meals with canola, vegetable or olive oil and snack on nuts and seeds.

Keep a detailed food journal of your meals to keep track of ingredients that cause flare ups. This will help you determine which foods you should avoid in future.

Avoid cooking with hot spices such as pepper, curry, chili powder, cayenne and paprika. It is best to substitute these with milder flavors like cumin, coriander, turmeric, sage, basil, oregano and cardamom.

Extra precautions

There are other elements outside of your diet that can aggravate symptoms and mislead you into thinking food is to blame. Exposure to sunlight, using harsh skin products, stress, humidity, windy weather, saunas, hot showers and baths are all contributing factors. Speak to your doctor if you suspect you have Rosacea and ask for further dietary and treatment advice.
