My aunt had a chunk of our heritage DNA tested, and we're all Northern Germany, Scandinavia, and British Isles. Ironically, places prone to rosacea But also places with a long history of grassfed dairy as a source of good fats, extra protein, which might help balance their low vegetable intake.

However, I do a lot of organically sourced, high fat, and even goat cheese, which can sidestep the hormones and protein problems of the usual dairy products. Fat free & skim varieties concentrates the issues without offering much of the benefits of dairy.

Lately, I've even swapped yogurt for sour cream. Love the flavor, hardly any carbs, and fermented, besides!

Funny my father is Danish and my mother is from Northern Ireland so I come by the rosacea honestly!

understand that the rash is already improving, but just came across this article by Dr. Sarah Ballentyne on many related skin conditions and what additional steps might be required if a regular Paleo LC approach isn't enough. She is super strict with dairy, and also notes eggs... a food people often eat way more of when starting LC. A few more foods to consider for any skin conditions that may improve only with some "extra effort" above LC Paleo.

Funny you should mention that as I haven't had too many eggs lately, mostly because I was getting sick of them. I know one naturopath that gains weight as soon as she starts eating eggs so she has to avoid them.

In my enthusiasm for LC diets, I recommended it to a neighbor who happily lost weight, but then also became allergic to eggs by overeating them. Just because you can eat eggs on LC, doesn't mean you should have four a day. I have felt guilty and more cautious since then. As Sarah says, she could also take out all eggs for a while and then re-introduce some, or maybe just yolks, later.

I don't think overeating a food can make you intolerant of it. You're probably already intolerant and eating more just makes the symptoms more apparent.

For me the most is 2 a day and funny enough, my dog who has allergies is allergic to them.

Allergies can also be a sign that our bodies cannot dump toxins as fast as they come in. Cats who are fed raw food diets no longer trigger their people's allergies, for instance.

Sure that you are aware of all the triggers for Rosacea, but have you considered the cold weather, wind and other craziness on the east coast of US (don't know where u r) after record high Christmas? My diet has been super LC since Christmas, and my hands are covered with a rough red rash and eczema patches. Assuming that is caused by the super cold weather now (for NC). That or running into some new hand cream/soap (unlikely). Whatever, looking like the housemaid hands in Downton Abby...and it has nothing to do with food.
