SIBO and subtype 2 link
Just did an in depth blood panel and it was suggestive of possible SIBO (Small Intestinal Baterial Overgrowth). I didn't know anything about SIBO, so I started researching and found that most people with my subtype (papulopustular) also happen to suffer with SIBO. I got a UTI last week and went on Bactrim-an antibiotic also used for SIBO control and within DAYS my rosacea cleared in a way it hasn't cleared in years. I also feel so much less bloated. In my case, my gut health and my rosacea were very closely linked. Bactrim plus azelaic and after a week I'm almost completely rosacea free. I want to cry. I hope this helps someone else who's been suffering. For reference, I have previously been through rounds of Doxy, steroids, soolantra, you name it with far less results.
