[rosacea] Re: my skin is clear for a month now

Thanks for the response,

I tried the anti-inflammitory diet recommended on several arthritis
web sites...no "nightshade" vegetables....potato, tomato, eggplant,
snd I think mushroom?...anyway I had no luck with that.....

One thing to keep in mind is that when you cut out wheat, you
eliminate a huge percentage of the junk foor and fast food that is
available to you, and you are forced to eat a lot more un processed
foods....so its hard to say how much that is helping things out as well
