  1. I bought a bottle of liquid Vitamin C and was drinking a glass of water with a tablespoon of the Vitamin C.
    My rosacea broke out in a vengeance! Now, I’m using apple cider vinegar to wash the skin flakes away and extra virgin olive oil to moisturize.

    Still don’t really know if Vitamin C caused the flare up.

  2. I thought low or no histamine diet helped those with rosacea and some of those foods are listed as no nos for histamine or histadine or even high in folic acid that basically assists in histamine production.

  3. consumed one package of brussels sprouts yesterday which seems to have exacerbated my rosacea

  4. Has anyone noticed more outbreaks when taking vitamin C? I usually take a vita C supplement — and I usually have an outbreak every 2 weeks. A month ago, I ran out of vitamin C tablets and kept forgetting to buy some more. During that time, I noticed that pause, I had no outbreaks! I just bought some new Vitamin C tablets, took one, and had an immediate outbreak! Anyone else noticed this as a trigger?

  5. I heard the B6 can cause major flushing.. Vitamin C can also cause flushing.. Im almost afraid to eat anything that has B6 and a lot of Vitamin C..

  6. Sarah,
    Spinach and avocado may contain high histamine levels. These levels are also dependent on how fresh the food is. I chose these foods since I have never reacted to these particular foods and because of their potential beneficial effect on the skin (vit.B’s, K). I am glad I am receiving some valuable comments from my readers. My intention was to stimulate an inspiring discussion between myself and readers who have rosacea. I keep reading about a lot of the same trigger foods for rosacea and I thought it would be interesting to find out what other foods people react to, regardless of the histamine content.

  7. I have also read that spinach and avocado are triggers for rosacea (on rosacea.org and other places) do to histamine factors. I love reputable rosacea sites for there insite, so would you please explain your reasoning behind your listing them as top foods for rosacea when they are also triggers? -thanks

  8. I’ve heard spinach and avocado actually cause flushing. I have chicory for vitamin K.
