I’ve already received an answer. All I wanted to know, as I said in my original post, was if I’m done eating at 7pm, is it alright to eat at 11am the following day. And if it’s alright to change that window on a daily basis, since I probably will have a few dinners that are around 9 or 10. Perhaps I’m over-explaining…

Fasting between 8pm and Noon seems to be the most common timeframe when I looked up Intermittent fasting. I didn’t mean to offend or imply anything else was incorrect—I’m new at this.

I recently discovered Quest bars and they taste much better than most other protein bars. So far I’ve only tried the s’mores and it was epic - apparently cookie dough is the most popular. :) (They’re gluten-free, too!)

I’m curious about this as well. Someone on another forum said that a healthy diet + too much water can lead to a loss of electrolytes and to take iodine drops for a healthy thyroid. I had never heard of such a thing before - always assuming that salt is an enemy. I’ll definitely be following this thread.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve always turned beet red after exercising - even before I had roseaca and when I was in great shape (I blush too easily, too). Looking back, I wonder if these were harbingers of what was to come. Thankfully my skincare routine is already gentle - I use a lot of Avene products + Finacea. If my skin…

Thank you for all the advice and information. I was about to rule out a histamine intolerance because there was no difference after I stopped drinking spinach smoothies (I now alternate between kale + pear, and carrot + ginger). I think what I’ve been eating for the past week or so is relatively low salicylate. I’ve also…

I’m trying to cut back on fruit, the first week I enjoyed a lot of berries but I worried that I was perhaps eating too much in order to sate my craving for pastries. Now I’m eating veggies and only a handful of berries in my cereal. I’m also taking an omega 3 because I read it can help with skin issues. All I’m drinking is…

Thank you for the tip - I did not even think of having to alter my skincare routine (I had finally found one that was working fairly well). I’m wondering if I’m getting enough fat... I’ve been quite rigid about what foods I’m eating and maybe I need to ease up a bit. Ugh. Who knew eating healthy could be so complicated. ;)

I started on August 1st but I might give it another 2 weeks before trying to figure out an alternative. I hate to think that I’d have to go back to eating horrible food in order to have semi-decent skin. :-/

Oh dear, now I’m even more confused. Some of the foods high in salicylate we’re the very ones that were listed as okay for low histamine. There’s practically nothing left for me to eat. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’m salicylate-intolerant. I’ve taken aspirin before without any issues and before starting this diet…

Thank you for the advice. :-) I’m eating lots of quinoa and try to have fresh fish as often as possible (I was never a big red meat eater before starting this diet). I truly think I’m doing everything right, so this is all so frustrating. I have been tossing fresh ginger into my smoothies every morning - maybe I’ll stop…

Thank you, kardsharp. I’ve read about a few other people who have experienced the same thing, but they’re few and far between. A lot of peoples’ skin seems to clear up almost immediately. I’m really hoping this is some sort of a detox/purge that will right itself eventually.
