Foods Rich in Prebiotics and Probiotics
There is a connection between Rosacea and gut inflammation, according to studies. Rosacea is common in people who also suffer from irritable-bowel syndrome (IBS) or other gastrointestinal disorders. This link suggests that there is a connection between the inflammation of the gut and the skin, and that the digestive tract could be an effective way to treat Rosacea. Probiotics, especially in chronic Rosacea patients, may be effective for maintaining Rosacea. Probiotics may help to reduce Rosacea symptoms, soothe inflammation and ease flare-ups. Try these probiotic foods:
- Miso
- Certain cheeses
- Kimchi
- Sauerkraut
- Kombucha
Prebiotic foods include fibrous foods such as:
- Bananas
- Whole grains
- Garlic
- Asparagus
- Leekss and onions
These foods may be beneficial in managing Rosacea but there are many other triggers that can cause inflammation. Remember that the foods that may ease your symptoms could trigger symptoms in someone else.
