Episode notes
Rosacea Linked to SIBO
- Rosacea is strongly linked to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
- Bacteria that belong in the large intestine grow in the small intestine causing redness and broken blood vessels in the cheeks.
Avoid Probiotics and Fiber
- Avoid adding probiotics if you have rosacea linked to SIBO because it increases microbial overgrowth.
- Also avoid high fiber intake since these microbes feed on fiber, worsening the condition.
Cut Down Vegetables to Starve Microbes
- Reduce vegetable intake to starve the microbial overgrowth in the small intestine.
- Following a carnivore diet helps balance gut microbes by limiting plant fibers that feed them.
