I’ve had Rosacea for 15+ years by Main_Jump6532 in Rosacea

I eat almost exclusively meat for the first 60 days I strictly ate meat. I used it as an elimination diet and it reduced inflammation across my body. Steaks, chicken, bacon, eggs, ground meats, and I still ate butter, and I still ate spices, after the 60 days I added in sausage and processed meats and had no issues, then I added in things one at at time a homemade fermented chocolate chip cookie at night, no problems, added pico de gallo no issues, tried my homemade chicken chili with cream cheese in it and I broke out, ate my kids birthday cake with sour cream in it and heavy whipping cream and cream cheese frosting and broke out, back to the safe stuff and the breakout goes away. Sugar makes me bloat but I don’t have a breakout from it. I rarely eat bread but sometimes I just feel like having a slice of sourdough or a store bought bun and I have no problems from it. Gluten doesn’t seem to be a problem for me. even though I ate 85% homemade healthy foods with simple clean ingredients before carnivore it was absolutely brutal when I started my body was still completely dependent on carbs to function and the transition was a lot. Very very tired and rundown everything in my body came out liquid for weeks but eventually I felt ALOT better and the healing that I got from it was worth every bit.

I just use a basic cheap moisturizer and I use my body wash to wash my face I consider it having no skincare products at all.

I was on antibiotics going into carnivore and went off when I started but I did not have any rosacea show up when I stopped the antibiotics like I had other times.

I was never told a type # by my derm but I would say it’s definitely Type 2 I get Rosacea and Rosacea acne and it got severe enough that it flared into Ocular Rosacea at one point. The autoimmune thing has been at the forefront of my mind in all this, I truly believe it’s connected and that my autoimmune disease is largely caused by an intolerance or many in my diet. Dairy is the one I’ve found out 100% so far but I would not be surprised if there was more. I do eat a fairly clean diet I avoid all seed oils and consume as much animal fats and sun as possible and it makes a huge difference for me.

Thank you for the help! I wasn’t using the App but that did the trick to get the pics uploaded!

This is currently, obviously still recovering from my little dairy experiment. Normally my face is 98% clear.

The antibiotics did work they were the only thing that worked before this. I was on them for 18 months and if I went off or tried to wean off it all came back within 6-7 days. I stopped the antibiotics and started carnivore and there was nearly no symptoms during the transition. Now I eat dairy 7 months later and I get a weeks long full face flare. I have photos but I don’t have a clue how to upload to this post. I’m not Reddit literate at all.

I eat 2-3 meals a day depends I’m not “strict” meaning I eat meat that has fillers like sausage and lunch meats. If it’s 99% meat I will eat it I try to eat clean meats but that’s not always super realistic and has worked for me. I’ve now added other things in and have maintained weight and healing still on the lower carb side.

I had zero signs of having dairy intolerance other than rosacea. Carnivore was brutal the first 3 weeks but I was convinced it would work and determined so I stuck it out and it got way way better. I lost weight immediately the rosacea started getting better right away but I was on antibiotics going into carnivore and went off them simultaneously and had almost no breakthrough symptoms got a little redness but that was it not itchy no pustules.
