Tom - many people who have this same problem do not realize they should
see a Dermatologist for the condition called Rosacea. The National
Rosacea Society has a Web site: www.rosacea.org
Info and materials are also available by calling toll-free at
1-888-NO-BLUSH, or by writing the National Rosacea Society, 800 S.
Northwest Highway, suite 200, Barrington, Illinois 60010, or via e-mail
at rosaceas@….
You are right Tom; stress, intense exercise, over-heating, extreme
cold, too hot water for bath and some foods all trigger the flushing.
Metrogel or Metrocream (prescriptions) does keep under control somewhat.
Tetracycline is sometimes prescribed for a time. Rosacea left
untreated it only gets worse and the redness can then become permanent.
(remember W.C. Fields?) I, too, have Rosacea. Hope the above is
helpful to you.

I also have rosacea , and was told it wont get better unless its treated. The
blood type diet has worked for everything else but it has not worked for the
rosacea.
I use metrogel, and I hope it will work so it doesnt look like I am sunburnt
all the time.

Tom, it is nothing like a hot flash. I have had both and believe me the
slight flushing is far from a hot flash. I think several middle aged women
in this group will vouch for that. LOL

Me too. Even when I was a very athletic teen-ager it happened when I
exercised. It still does and sometimes as Tom said it is brought on by just
a touch of stress (e.g. talking on phone, making a presentation, etc.).
These things don’t bother me but my face still gets red. I think a fair
complexion has something to do with it.

has anyone tried the vegetable glycerine? just wondered what it
tastes like.
As for splenda it’s not really a “chemical” per se… it’s
a “modified” sugar.. I believe they take a molecule off the sugar so
it doesn’t get that insulin reaction.. (I’m not saying it’s good or
bad tho it does taste better than nutra sweet in icecrea… uh .. in
some foods Also besides Stevia I’ve recently heard of Agave sweetner that’s
supposed to taste like honey but not have the reaction and has a low
carb count (comparatively) I think 9g per T. - not great but I think
its supposed to be twice as sweet as sugar so you’d use less….

< alternative to use in deserts (cakes etc) for my partner and child! So
difficult!
Have you seen my recent posts on vegetable glycerine? It is Dr. D’Adamo’s
new sweetener of choice for ALL blood groups and subtypes. Look back over
the last few days for more info and links.

all this crap and its what is killing us.

Sucralose is the generic name for Splenda (avoid).

There are a lot of forms of sugar, but not all of them are supposed
to be consumed.
What is called white/brown sugar comes from cane or sugarbeet, it is
neutral for secretors and avoid for nons.
Dextrose is derived from corn and it is an avoid for all O’s.
I am not sure about sucralose, but it is surely another type of sugar.
It would be worth finding out your secretor status, because being a
nonsecretor makes things even more restrictive: only molasses are
neutral, all the others are avoids.
