Rosacea and Eczema: Food Reactions and Weak Digestion

Rosacea natural treatment suggestions are provided by Dr Ben in this consult about rosacea.

Many causes of Rosacea out outlined here:

• helicobactor pylori
• stress and anxiety
• low stomach acid
• low pancreatic enzyme secretion
• damaged intestinal lining causing leaky gut syndrome

Lifestyle tips to reduce Rosacea:

• Determine food sensitivies. Dairy and wheat are big ones. Eliminate dairy and wheat for 2 weeks and see how you do.
• Limit sugar intake as much as possible. If you have addictions to sugar, you are likely not eating frequently enough. Eat every two hours, smaller meals with some form of healthy protein to balance blood sugar.
• Stop using harsh soaps and lotions/creams.
• Use natural soaps such as Tulsi Neem soap.
• Drink filtered water to remove chlorine and other toxins from your water. Impure water leads to toxic burden on your liver which may lead to skin issues.

Product suggestions to which may support the improvement of rosacea symptoms:

1. PreGestion: Take 1 to 2 capsules with meal to increase stomach acid. You want to feel 'warmth' in your stomach. If you feel burning, you are not eating enough food and/or you are taking too much.
2. Pro-Digestion Intensive: Take 1-2 capsules with meals to help breakdown foods into absorbable nutrients vs letting them decompose and cause inflammation which causes leaky gut syndrome. If you feel burning, you are taking too much. Pro-Digestion Intensive is potent so if even if one capsule of Pro-Digestion Intensive is too strong, try Pro-Digestion instead. NOTE: Pro-Digestion contains Bromelain which may be a problem for those with pineapple sensitivies. Pro-Digestion Intenstive contains egg white.
3. L-Glutamine Powder: Take 1 scoop between meals with a large glass of water one to two times a day. This provides the number one nutrient needed for your small intestine to remain healthy and layers intact to prevent passage of food particles into your tissue space which causes food allergies and sensitivies.
4. ProBiota 12 Powder: Take 1/4 teaspoon after dinner for 2 weeks, then 1/2 teaspoon after dinner until the bottle is gone. This supports healthy absorption of nutrients, immune support and immune balance, helps reduce symptoms of eczema significantly especially in infants (but if in kids under 2 yrs old, use ProBiota Infant).
5. One finished with ProBiota 12 Powder, switch to ProBiota 12 capsules. Take 1 capsule of ProBiota 12 after dinner on an on-going basis. You can keep using ProBiota 12 Powder if you'd like, just reduce to 1/16th of a teaspoon to provide 25 billion beneficial bacteria per dose.
6. Optimal Fish Oil: Take 2 capsules during a meal. Belching from this is not an issue typically as it contains a fat-digestive enzyme. Low essential fatty acids leads to eczema and rosacea. Providing your body essential fatty acids found in Optimal Fish Oil are EPA/DHA and in potent amounts.
7. Moor Mud Mask: To help improve the skin on the surface. Try a small area first to see if it helps and if it does, then proceed to apply over the entire area affected. Apply, let sit 15 minutes, rinse off.
8. Premium Shower Filter: Don't let chlorine damage your skin and lungs. Remove chlorine from your shower by installing this. Easy to install and the chlorine is gone. Chlorine is VERY damaging to skin.
9. Pantothenic Acid: Consider taking 2 capsules twice a day to support healthy skin and healthy mood. Those low in Pantothenic acid tend to have increased skin problems due to stress. 
10. Ashwagandha: If stress is a very big problem, taking Ashwaghanda along with Pantothenic acid may be necessary. If so, consider taking 2 capsules of Ashwagandha in the AM and before bed.
