Just wanted to thank for taking the time to post all those links. I am currently studying a human biology course and we have just covered the digestive system. It is amazing how we have so many specialized cells all designed with specific roles to play. If one goes out of balance it can affect your whole system. All very interesting.........

Hi Thatguy,

I am getting ready for work right now but when I get home I see I have my reading cut out for me

I did have one case of food poisoning in November 2004 (In Italy) and it was horrible.

Have a good day and thanks for all the links!

That study is a great find! I have viewed SIBO as a rosacea trigger for some time. Here is my reasoning:

"......I have a theory that some rosaceans may have chronic flaring due to varying degrees of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)......If bacteria sits in the small intesting and ferments, I'm thinking someone with rosacea might react to that in the same way they react to fermented foods. As this article explains, when you have too much unwanted bacteria in the small intestine, carbs sit and ferment because they don't absorb well.

My SIBO/rosacea posts are here: http://rosacea-support.org
Just do a search for SIBO

I find that dietary and herbal treatments for it really do help, but now I can take this study and see if my doc will let ma try rifaximin. Thanks!

My main treatments have been Pau D'arco (excellent), Garlic, and Olive leaf extract.

Cheers!

Hello,
I think a (major) flaw in the "bacterial overgrowth" theory is that PO antibiotics were among the first tx modalities targeting rosacea (this is bc initially rosacea was considered a variant of acne vulgaris, and thus was tx'd in the same manner).
Makes sense that if the above was the problem and considering all those taking antibiotics for the tx of rosacea...then the antibiotics or at least certain antibiotics, would have been found to be efficacious years ago.

But, antibiotics are effective to a certain extent. More effective for some than others. I am thinking of SIBO as more of an underlying trigger, not the cause. So, treating SIBO wouldn't cure rosacea. You would just eliminate that trigger, if it's a trigger for you, and if you have SIBO. Similar to H. Pylori..
