Excited and hopeful. Have a number of questions and don't know how to get answers. Very unsavvy when it comes to tech things and especially social media stuff. Question: I take an antibiotic for my Rosacea. Will this interfere with getting my gut back in good working order?

Questions can be asked here on the forums, but for common questions, pretty much everything has been asked and answered and you can find a lot of info by googling 'whole30 + whatever your topic is'.  If you can't find info that way, feel free to ask away!

Doctor's orders and prescription medications trump Whole30 so while it maybe ideal to not have a medication in your system, it's not going to negate the effects of the Whole30.  Is the med something you can go on and off at will or is it titrated up and down?  If you can go on and off at will, you may want to consider not taking it for the 30 days to see how Whole30 affects your skin... if you're not comfortable with that or you can go on and off at will, then just make note of how your skin is doing and you may need to see your doctor to adjust dosage after you're done... but again, no one here is a medical professional so we can't tell you what to do with regard to meds... that's between you and your healthcare team.

Thank you. That was really helpful. Will try not taking antibiotics and see what happens. It's mainly a vanity issue, not really crucial to my health. Maybe eating better will work as well as the meds.

Pretty sure it won't hurt and you could end up being pleasantly surprised... it at least won't make it worse... take a look at the testimonials on this site, I"m pretty sure there are a couple about Rosacia.
