Rosacea

I have been diagnosed with ibs and just recently my forehead has become really spotty and sore apparently I have rosacea is this connected with ibs does anyone else suffer with this

Hey, there have been some studies about the link between rosacea and disturbed gut bacteria (which is believed to make up a decent amount of IBS cases), I have gastro issues also and I've noticed more acne around my temples and forehead, nasty stuff. Hope it clears for us both!

I think there is meant to be a link between Rosacea and SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth). Might be worth seeing if you can be tested for this? I know that it's possible to get tested on the NHS, otherwise you can get a home testing kit for around £150.
