Rosacea and Crohn's - anyone hear taking meds for rosacea

I searched the forum and all of the rosacea posts are very old so I thought I would start a new one.

I have been doing more research into antibiotics for my CD as that is what seems to do the most good for me.  I have been finding a lot of links to rosacea while I am researching.  I never considered my reddening face as rosacea--just a flush with any major emotion--until the rheumatologist labeled as rosacea.

I notice my face burns like sunburn along with the burning in my gut that feels like brushburn (and I feel extremely feverish all over).  I just keep coming back to that the two are linked and that one gets better when the other does.  Right now my face is bright red and my lower right abdomen stings like crazy.

So anyone with rosacea getting oral antibiotics for long term?

Any recommendations (other than SCD or FODMAP which I can not follow) for foods?

 

I get Rosacea on and off. I know that I'm flaring really bad/meds are not working at all when the Red comes back. My nose and cheeks are always pinkish (ever since I was a kid) but it gets full blown when the CD is bad. I just call my PCP and get a new rx for MetroGel for it when it flares (and then immediately make a GI appt to discuss new meds!) I also figured the red/pinkness is not normal given that my face looks amazing when on prednisone! At the moment, I am just pinky because while I am still having abd pain and joint pain and intermittent diarrhea, the Simponi must be doing something because my Rosacea and Pyoderma are still calm.

Also, similar to petittarte, my PCP and past derms did not want to give me oral meds for the Rosacea. I have found that MetroGel is quite effective. And diet changes don't seem to help me at all ever so I've never tried a specific diet for Rosacea, though avoiding alcohol and chocolate certainly wouldn't hurt my waistline!
