More and more Rosaceans are appreciating the importance of gut health to their condition, but are unsure where to start. So I thought I’d save you money and time by writing a post to take out the guesswork and get you started on the right track.
Here’s some steps you can take now…
Identify foods, drinks and environments that your Rosacea reacts to and remove them for up to 8 weeks. If you are not sure, keep a diary of your diet and your Rosacea so you can pick up patterns. See my previous posts for ideas of the foods most likely to be problematic.
Ensure you have bulletproof digestion and you move your bowels at least once per day. Chew all your food thoroughly and don’t eat when rushed. If you aren’t regular ensure you drink 1.5 litres of pure water each day and increase your vegetable intake.
Eat the foods that promote the right gut bacteria and avoid those that feed the bad guys. In a nutshell, eat whole foods and plenty of vegetables, avoid processed foods and sugar. See my post on probiotics for extra help.
Select foods that nourish the gut. These are nutrient dense foods crammed with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats such as fresh oily fish, fresh chicken stock, avocado and liver.
Recognise that food is just one aspect of gut health and that mental and emotional wellbeing can affect your gut as much as the foods you put in it. Eat only when relaxed and do things that nourish your soul like walking, dancing, singing, reading, journaling etc.
By working through these steps you will start to make a dent in the gut imbalances driving your Rosacea. However, in my experience these steps need to be PERSONALISED to your root causes and SUPPORTED by specific supplements at the right time for best results.
Getting it right is not easy, BUT what you need to do is SIMPLE.
