Please note: In my book, Rosacea 101: Includes the Rosace Diet, which is an updated version, the Rosacea Diet only had a very few revisions.

However, Rosacea 101 is a much more comprehensive 373 page book, covering the conventional and alternative treatments for rosacea and covers basic rosacea 101 knowledge for rosacea newbies. It is a must have book for those who need in one book what they need to know about rosacea.

If you still want the Rosacea Diet, written in 2002, I have some information below which may interest you:

In a nutshell, if you are willing to try a very strict diet for thirty days and not cheat, your rosacea will clear up. Odds are that this diet will work for you, and there is evidence to support this if you click here. This is not an easy diet, however, and many rosaceans have trouble sticking to the guidelines. But if you are game, it will show you that much of what you are currently eating and drinking is triggering your rosacea. You can read the entire book below to find out what it is all about.

"Rosacea Diet is an excellent reference for people who wish to try a dietary approach to controlling rosacea. Includes comprehensive lists of safe and trigger foods, as well as an extensive Q & A section. Many who have tried this approach have had good results"
Christiane Northup, M.D. > www.drnorthrup.com/

"...Brady Barrows, the US-based author of Rosacea Diet...explains, a diet high in sugar increases blood glucose levels that in turn increases insulin levels from the pancreas to keep the sugar under control. Increased insulin causes an inflammatory metabolism with free radicals and pro-inflammatory enzymes, which in turn causes flushing, triggering rosacea...users of the diet are queuing up to testify to its effectiveness..."

Comments from Users of the Rosacea Diet

There are hundreds of email comments from those who have actually tried the Rosacea Diet, if you think these are too good to believe, why not email any of them for verification of the truth about it?

"Brady you are a legend mate. I have tried your diet (if I am completely honest I did not follow it to the letter) but nevertheless It worked wonders. Redness is almost gone, blotchy skin is gone, lost weight and I even flush less often. I am 20 years old male and have tried so many over the counter products and not one of them seemed to help. I urge fellow rosacea sufferers to give this diet a go." reklezstoner

"I have been on Brady's rosacea diet for 5 weeks now and I personally recommend it. Prior to going on this diet I had mild-severe rosacea and 5 weeks after my face is almost clear. Almost all of my previous triggers no longer apply. Like prior to the diet my skin was very sensitive to water(cold and hot) now I emerge from the shower with a clear white face. I used to wake up every morning with a red face. No more so. My skin is not as sensitive as it used to be. I could touch it without it going red. Also sudden change of temperature was another trigger for me and to a smaller extent it is still there. But to a much much smaller extent. In fact I would say I go a little red for a short time not for hours like I used to. Also I could now work out for much longer without looking like a beetroot. Of course some triggers remain. Like stress for example. I do go red after a long day. Not as red as I used to but still. Physical exertion is still a major problem like when I am lifting something heavy or just jogging on a treadmill for too long my face will go really red(but redness will subside a lot quicker)......But overall I am very happy with the diet. I have clear face now and save shedloads of money I would have otherwise spent on useless skincare products. I highly recommend this diet and hope it helps you as much as it helped me." whizz-dude (scroll down till you find whizz-dude's comment)

"I control mine with diet. It is very effective for me. I got all the information from a book called 'The Rosacea Diet' " source

Read the first review at amazon.com from S. Brown who says, Rosacea Diet - Worth every penny, December 9, 2003
Reviewer: S Brown (US)
It frustrates me to see several reviews from people who read Rosacea Diet and dismissed it without even trying it. How can you review something you "didn't have the willpower" to try or something you just didn't want to do (i.e. Give up sugar)? Comparisons to the Atkins diet are bound to occur, despite the fact that Rosacea Diet is very different in that it allows NO sugar and FAR fewer carbs than the Atkins plan. I'm trying Rosacea Diet now and have seen drastic improvement in just 5 days. When you get past the first few days of adjustment and get over the fact that you can't eat sugar or grains, it's not that hard. I don't have any desire to eat sugar and I previously consumed large quantities of it. You focus on what you can eat and you eat only those foods. There's nothing hard about it...it has actually greatly simplified my life to have the enormous number of food choices taken away. This book has opened my eyes to the fact that sugar lurks in much of the food we normally consume, even products that claim to be "sugar free." I HIGHLY recommend purchasing Rosacea Diet. The book is giving me the power to conquer rosacea without spending thousands on doctor visits and prescription treatments that don't work.

"i noticed a difference (a serious difference) about 2 months. my face is nearly back to normal now (3 months since i've been eating no sugar and a very low amount of carbs)" Rachelle Daniel

"I did the no sugar and low carb for three years and it did make a big difference in my rosacea but it is very hard to stay on." Gail

"...everytime I control carbs in every form I am better off..." Elena

"I just self diagnosed myself with Rosacea, although I know I am not supposed to do that. My doctor told me it would take months to get in to see a dermatologist, but I am sure I have Rosacea. I started the diet only a few days ago and the results are awesome already. It is a tricky diet to stick with, but well worth it. My skin calmed down immediately and it was flaming a few days ago. Thanks for the great ebook." M Browne <mjkbrowne@juno.com>

"Yes, you should definitely read Brady Barrows' book, The Rosacea Diet. Most people who stick to it do see a big change, but the problem is having the discipline to stick to it. It's good to know that it's helped." june

",,,The diet helps ALOT as well. Just following as close as I can
has helped in not only my face but I have lost 25 pounds (not trying)..." Erin

"...I lost about 21 pounds on the Diet and it was the easiest time I've ever had of shedding the extra weight AND most importantly, keeping it off. Plus having a clear face ain't nothing to sneeze at, either! LOL :)..." Rachael

"...it's day four for me and my body is still struggling to adjust to low carbs and no sugar. BUT my skin is looking more clear and beautiful than it has in some time. The texture is SO smooth..." read the entire comment

"...I am happy to report that after reading a book on line a few months ago recommending cutting out sugar and carbohydrates, I have virtually cured my Rosacea..." read the entire comment

"Hello, I got the Rosacea Diet book about a month ago. I was in the midst of an episode brought on by a couple of oranges. Silly me, I knew I shouldn't have eaten them. I had just started Weight Watchers - lost 6 lbs. and BAM! My face was red, swollen and then got dry and flaky. I had the book sent overnight and began reading it immediately. My face is looking so good that yesterday, a friend told me that she didn't know what I was doing, but that I'd better keep it up because I looked so wonderful. Well that and a loss of 18 lbs. and the improvement in my skin is enough for me. Thank you Brady for all your research and continued support of Rosacea sufferers like yourself...."

"....It actually only took 2 weeks for my skin to clear. I have had several people comment on how beautiful my skin is and they asked me what products I use!! I told them that I do it all through diet - which to be honest is true. They cannot believe that I actually have a skin condition!.....I have far more energy than I had before and sleep very well now - so there are all sorts of benefits to this diet...."

"....I got so much out of the group, Brady, I cannot begin to tell you how much you changed my life. Regardless of rosacea, I needed to change my diet drastically for overall good health and that's what I've done. I feel Iike I've finally found a balance between food and skin care that keeps my rosacea totally manageable without prescriptions, and that is all thanks to you. Please never underestimate the amazing transformational affect you have had on many peoples' lives. Take care, Connie " "...My response to the diet was pretty instantaneous as well, it only took a few days (!) to show great results...." click here for entire comment "...My experience with the diet has been that the level of control depends on the level that you follow the diet.  If I follow the diet exactly, I will have perfect skin...."

"...I have been on the rosacea diet for almost three weeks and my face is almost entirely clear and my redness is 95% gone....I went to my dermatologist this week and he stood there with his mouth open, and for the first time, speechless!..." "denimaddict" <denimaddict@yahoo.com> click here for entire comment

"...I looked back at 2002 and examined all the good that had taken place throughout the past year and starting this diet was at the top of the list!....I still can't believe the relief I have experienced since going on this diet... it is incredible... as a fellow rosacean I am sure you can relate to the sense of relief one gets when they finally feel in control of this condition... woohoo!!!! The freedom of gaining a considerable amount of control is liberating almost to the point of being exhilirating. Another big plus that has occured since going on the diet is my anxiety has all but vanished... I used to get terribly anxious... probably worrying about flaring or anticipating the lousy feeling of being in the middle of a bad flare..." "mars bloodface" <mars2013@hotmail.com>

"...As of tomorrow the diet is 2 weeks old. The rosacea is whipped!..."
"Kris Koch" <kwisstopher@hotmail.com>

"...My face has really cleared up since I have been on the diet...."
"jppowell" <jppowell@datasync.com>

"Dear Brady, Thank you, thank you, thank you for your diet - I could see results within 12 hours! I am a 46 year old female who has just been diagnosed with rosacea - delighted to know why I have had such crappy skin all my life! Anyway, I look better now than I have in a long time - after just four days on your diet!..." "Karen Heaton" <kheaton@tyler.net>

"...This is day 19, and I survived a post-holiday party on Saturday that really challenged my resolve! I ate before leaving so that I wouldn't be hungry, and I didn't touch a thing. My face looks great, and I'll never go back to my previous ..... habits. A side benefit that I hadn't expected is the total disappearance of my back and neck...and knee...problems. An MRI had detected arthritis in my neck, and I'd had quite limited range of motion and was seeing a physical therapist, but now I'm completely back to normal....." [click here for entire comment] "...This is day 29 for me, and I can honestly say that this diet is the best thing I've done for myself in all my 55 years. Here are the changes I've seen in this brief time..." "toby_7377" <toby_7377@yahoo.com> [click here for entire comment]

"....I am awestruck over the success I've had with your dietary info....thank you so much for all the research you so kindly put in a form for all of us to utilize. I am now testing foods that have the potential to cause a flare-up and am finding that I'm so sensitive to some foods I can not even have one bite. It is so awesome to have your info because now I can immediately identify the culprit. With much appreciation...." click here for another comment "...Let me say this...up until I started the Rosacea Diet NOTHING and I mean NOTHING helped to alleviate the mess on my face...." "Lee Everett" <strgzr153@aol.com> click here for entire comment

"...After 15 years of seeking a cause for the rash on my face, I was diagnosed with rosacea about a year ago.  I always felt the condition was food related but I could never pin down the exact thing or things that were behind the painful breakouts on my forehead and around my eyes......I was lucky enough to stumble across your Rosacea Diet just before Thanksgiving.  I was both skeptical and discouraged after reading it, especially with the impending holiday parties and goodies that always seem to accompany the season.  Nevertheless, I started right away.  I "fell off the wagon," a few times, each followed with a major breakout about two days later.  Through this period of experimentation, I became convinced!  This is a first thing that has made sense.....Without the rash on my face, I feel much happier and more confident and outgoing.  More importantly, I am in control of my condition.  And I can't thank you enough for your discovery...."
"Steve Fuller" <Atlanticart@aol.com>

"...The 10.00 I paid for the rosacea diet has been the most worthwhile 10.00 I've spent since being diagnosed with rosacea!!!.  I do not think that charging for the diet is in any way unethical...Thank you for researching and obtaining so much valuable  information and sharing it with us! I really appreciate it! Thanks," "Elena" <emrauback@aol.com>

"...I feel the $20 was well deserved, not so much for the diet as for the information you have compiled and the support groups you have started. Your website is the most complete source of rosacea related information..." "patty01012000" <n18p@AOL.COM> click here for entire comment.

"Brady, The diet is really helping. My rosacea is under control (not completely gone)! When I used to eat a lot of........ my face would itch incessantly. Now it doesn't! I have also lost around 10 lbs. (an added benefit). There is no doubt that it is a difficult diet to maintain, but every morning when I look at my face in the mirror it is DEFINITELY worth it! Hopefully I can be more active on the web-site. I travel a great deal and cannot always get to my e-mails. Thanks again for your help! Sincerely, " <VTiseo@seic.com>

".....Thanks for all the info.....I must say, my face is soooo much better. I have stopped my antibiotics 5 days ago (I don't want to "live" on tetracycline)...... Thank you, thank you, thank you.... hope this all continues, I am enjoying a slightly pink face instead of a beat red one! Diane" [click here for entire comment]

"...The diet without.....is very very very hard to do, but it WORKS...."
Marcela <marcelaecheverry@hotmail.com>

"Dear Brady, Hi, I received your rosacea diet a few months ago and have been gradually converting all my eating habits. It is heartening to know that you can control the rosacea outbreak with your diet and I would like to thank you for all your work in this area....." "Nicola Kamp" <nkamp@home.com>

"I received your diet and am convinced you are right. I must confess, I knew I wouldn't have the discipline to really do your diet but I decided to........Wow. I have more energy, less flushing, and have already lost weight. I never would have believed it before. I feel pretty great...."
[name withheld]

"....I am 32 years old and I have had rosacea since I was 18. I just recently went to the doctor and she diagnosed me for the first time. She also handed me a perscription for Metrogel. I had it filled and read the side effects and decided I would search for a natural method of control. Then I found this site!!!!! I am totally thrilled with this diet. For years I have known that my skin reacted to foods, but I thought it was cheese and dairy products. So I have not eated dairy for two years.(my favorite food) I have now been on the diet for one week and my face has been clear since the second day. I have been enjoying cheese and yet my face stays clear!.......So this new diet I am on is a big change and yet I am thrilled with the results. I feel more mellow and my thinking is actually clearer. I have also had a flatter stomach area. So it has solved several problems for me and I hope everyone will try it! Believe me, I look like a different person.....JM"
"Julzie" <skmckenzie@msn.com>

"Brady, Even though I thought I would never do it, I've been on the [Rosacea] diet for 10 days now, and it has worked. My skin looks better than it has in a year.... Any way, thanks. You motivated me, and I know [Rosacea] diet is healthier in many respects. My mood is much more stable and mellow too......"
{name withheld}

"Thanks. Received and printed the Rosacea Diet. Only read to page 4 so far, but I love it already.....That web site and your information is the most comprehensive out there -- and I've been searching for a year. My dermatologist is no help -- just keeps reiterating what you read everywhere -- to avoid spicy foods, the sun and alcohol. Well, as you know, it's very frustrating when you avoid all that, take tetracycline and use Metrogel, and STILL have problems...."
"Rose Calcaterra" <joelstreeter@earthlink.net>

"I received your "diet" pamphlet in late November of last year. And my rosacea has greatly improved since implementing your suggestions.... since first visiting your original website, I feel I have done so much for my body, not just my face. It lifts my spirits and my self esteem has improved. I am so thankful you have taken the time to post your personal findings with this very personal malaise..."
