I too tested positive for SIBO, however, speaking to my functional doctor, due to the nature of the curve in my test, he said that he doesn't think SIBO is the cause of my rosacea. He actually found...

Hi arb161, so glad to see vbeam has helped you over the years. I must have had 15+ Vbeams (purpuric and sub-purpuric) and it has definitely been the only thing that has helped. I stopped a couple of...

Thanks. My girlfriend is a nutritional scientist so would never go fully plant-based as it's not optimal for health. You miss out on so many vital nutrients from wild fish and pasture-raised meat....

That's great news. What sort of symptoms did you have, redness and burning, or was it more acne rosacea? I have been paleo for months but tempted to do Whole30 to see if it helps.

Haven't tried Whole30 but personally on a Paleo diet and know are very similar. Of course, diet plays a huge role in overall health and skin health. The skin is the window to the gut they say. My...

Hi Owldog, I?m actually seeing yet another dermatologist in a couple weeks and I?ll see what he thinks as well. Do you also use it on your cheeks? I sometimes think that my redness comes from just...

Thanks Owldog. Yeah, I have heard azelaic zcid has worked for a lot of people, I just know my skin is so sensitive to topicals. Maybe worth a shot to see if I can hold of this, as last Summer I...

Hi guys,
I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of a flare-up I am right in the middle of to see if anyone would have any advice. This has been going on for about a month now and I have never...

Yeah, cold ocean mixed with a warm shower would definitely elicit a big flush and bout of redness for me as well. It seems as though after 3 or 4 days in the water surfing in a hot climate, I tan,...

That's interesting, haven't really thought about saltwater being a direct link. Are there any threads or advice that you could give me in terms of home therapy using salt? (as won't be going surfing...

Darren,

I appreciate you updating everyone on your situation, I hope it helps a lot of people. From someone who has had 15+ V Beams myself, I have made the decision to stop doing them (the last...

Exactly this! Whole foods that promote good bacteria. I'd also say it's vital to get good quality meat that is pasture-raised and 100% grass-fed, and wild fish. Be careful when something says organic...

honestly, please stop using Mirvaso. It's going to cause long term damage if you continue to use it. You may go through a period of days, weeks, months of rebound flushing when you come off it, but...

Did you have burning associated with your redness as well?

Thanks,

Hi mate,

In terms of Vbeam, I have had over 15 of them. My advice would be to find a great practitioner first and foremost. What I would say having had so much experience with it, most of the time...

Hi Lawrence,

I have had rosacea for 7 years which seemingly came on overnight. I, like you, used to be very tanned. I have attached an image 3 years into my rosacea journey. As my journey with...

This is an interesting topic. I have suffered with rosacea for years, and the burning is the worst symptom for me. Its often coupled with redness but even when I have mild flushing and redness, the...

I would recommend Dr Sheth who works out of the Lister Hospital, and I believe will be back at Guy's and St Thomas in March.

I have seen him for 7 years, had multiple laser treatments, both...

thanks redvelvet.

Where is the best place to get ZZ cream from the UK, or for UK delivery. I have followed a few threads and saw that there is also a cosmetic version and a regular version, which...

Hi Caisc,

I would recommend Vbeam over IPL. I have had many Vbeams in the past, most of which have greatly helped my rosacea. As you can see across multiple different threads, Momof isn't a fan of...

I don't mean to sound disrespectful but I disagree strongly with your advice to stick to medication. Medication is going to cause havoc on your gut microbiome which in turn will weaken your immune...

Depends on what approach you want to take. For laser treatment, Dr Sheth has been incredible for me over the years.

So, I have suffered from rosacea for 7 years that came on overnight when I moved into a new house at university. The last 2 years, the condition has regressed quite dramatically and have tried to...

Hi Bluedog,

I was going the natural route with treating my SIBO using Candibactin. However, I think the issue was that I didn't know how effective it was so decided to take Rifraxam as my brother...

Funny enough, I actually do use this. I started using this literally when I first got rosacea 7 years ago. I haven't stopped since. This is the only topical I can put on my face that won't aggrevate...
