Common Foods that Cause Rosacea Symptoms
Many people with rosacea have discovered that certain foods WILL trigger their rosacea symptoms. Here is a short list of some of the most common.
You may notice some similarities with your own experience, or you may discover your own rosacea "trigger foods".
- Caffeine

- Hot beverages
- Hot foods
- Spicy foods
- Marinated foods

Many of these foods are not the freshest or healthiest of foods, and they tend to be more acid producing for the body. There are even some 100% natural foods that can trigger rosacea symtpoms for some people:

Foods to Eat for Rosacea
The best foods to eat for rosacea are fresh, whole foods which are high alkaline and which do not produce inflammation in the body.
Foods high in Omega 3 fatty acids are a plus. You may need to supplement your Omega 3's as many people with sensitive skin need abundant supplies of this essential nutrient. I recommend an
Omega 3 supplement
made with pure fish oil. It is VERY difficult to find a good quality fish oil that is not contaminated with environmental pollutants.
A good rosacea diet contains an abundance of these kinds of foods to build health and reduce inflammation:
- Wild salmon, sardines and other oily fish
- Fresh Berries such as blueberries, rasperries, blackberries
- Fresh vegetables, both raw and lightly cooked
- Low inflammation whole grains like millet, quinoa, rice
- Lean white meat such as turkey and chicken
- Nuts and seeds
- Tofu (if tolerated)
And don't forget this very important component of a good rosacea diet...
Lots and lots of pure water!This simple and healthy rosacea diet has many side benefits, such as a reduction in facial wrinkles and fewer aches and pains!
Please understand this the rosacea diet suggestions are a general guideline, as that you will need to keep a food journal for a while to get to know the foods that cause rosacea outbreaks.
Our bodies are miraculous and unique, and if you develop a good relationship with your body, it will reward you with greater health AND clearer and more radiant skin.
