Acne Rosacea: [rosacea] Re: maltodextrin

Thanks for bringing this up, Artist and others. When I was figuring
out my food triggers quite a few years ago, I noticed that foods with
malted barley flour made me react. I know that this ingredient is
placed in baked goods quite a bit, so I still really read labels when
I buy bread, muffins, etc. Of course, I react to malted milk balls
too, one of my favorite candies :-(

Take care,
Matija
