welcome to the club!
As for me.....i'm allergic to all that PLUS seafood, eggs, and a gazillion other things

I try to be good, but sometimes I stray because I have my cravings. I end up looking monstrous for a bit, which is a big motivation to be good again! It isn't easy, but at least you'll never be fat!

Danny, what exactly do you mean when you say milk is a recent addition to our diet? If by recent you mean we've been consuming it for the past 5,000 years that'd be accurate, right? Aren't milk and bread both in the Bible? And if there was unleavened bread, and luten is one of the things that makes bread rise, wouldn't that mean there was leavened (glutenous) bread as well?

why do you have to have dairy?
you can adapt to rice milk as far as taste for using it in cereal, this is coming from someone who spent their first 15 or 16 years absolutely in love with breakfast cereals and 2% milk, so much that even when i was 8 years old i'd eat it atleast 2 times a day. (looking back this is probably reason why wheat and dairy aren't good for my skin)
you can get protein from other sources. eggs are a higher quality source, and lean meats like turkey and chicken are other options. fish is also great. spirulina is an awesome vegetable source.

I haven't heard of rice milk. I just don't want to cut out on foods I like if it won't help in reducing pimples.

The way this works is simple:

You will NOT know until you TRY!

If you don't try....you'll never know.

I'm doing the clear skin regimen so I won't know if it is working or not.

any suggestion on what I can eat?

You're not that very limited in your choices
Mind you, milk and gluten are very recent items in human nutrition.
There are several theories about the natural diet of humans from the fruitarian/natural hygiene to the paleolithic and although they disagree all agree about the fact that drinking the milk of non human-mammals and consuming gluten containing grains is a modern practice and that humans have lived in good health (as showed by their bones and DNA analysis of fossil feces) without drinking any milk or eating any grain: just fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and nuts.

Pork even more is a very recent item compared to human history and humans have been eating the meat of hearvivorous animals but rarely the meat of carnivorous or omnivorous animals which is not healthy anyway and infected. There are raw foodists who eat raw meat (Vonderplanitz and so on) and they're healthy enough to testimony that meat can be eaten raw but the meat of carnivorous or omnivorous animals can't be eaten raw and it's too infected by bacteria. We can live without pork doing also a favour to our body

That leaves you with different alternatives: are you intollerant to yogurt and liquid yogurt too
Yogurt contains way less lactose and so does cottage cheese
Also goat milk is very different from cow milk so you could be still intolerant to milk but could consume yogurt, cottage cheese and goat milk
If that doesn't work there's always soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk and rice milk

There are a lot of grains which have no gluten and taste better than wheat
Quinoa, Millet, Buckwheat, Oats, Corn, Amaranth, Rice
You can find flour made with this grain and make your cakes, pancakes and crepes or you can buy bread and pasta made with these grains

What does it mean that you're allergic to sugar? Does it mean table sugar? Are you allowed to use honey instead or else fructose. Also this may be a chance to eat healthier and avoid putting sugar everywhere flavoring cakes, cereals or whatever with fruit juice and natural occuring sugars

As for the pork you have so many alternatives: chicken, turkey, beef alone would provide anything pork provided to you. Wurstel and sausages made of chicken or turkey taste way better IMO than pork wurstel and sausages. And there's also beef ham and beef roast... so you have ample choices

Danny

I'm doing the clear skin regimen so I won't know if it is working or not.

That depends on how successful the regimen is for you.

Personally, there's no skin regimen on the planet that could STOP my breakouts, in particular my breakout cycle. I do breakout maybe 1 - 3 zits at a given time anywhere on my body vs.......tons more of various size all over my body. However my diet changes STOPPED my 8 - 9 month Breakout cycle were my skin would also be worse no matter what I was using oral or topical drugs, non-acnegenic skin regimens, etc.

That was how I KNEW I had found something that trully worked.

Otherwise, I don't use topicals and I don't have much of a skin regimen. The acne goes away naturally within 2 - 3 days unless they are cysts. If they are cysts/nodules they are here because I ate something that I shoudn't have. Then I do use something because they can take 1 - 3 weeks to go away (and leave marks that can take longer)....thats HOW stubbon the inflammation is! Shocking but it's enough to prevent me from cheating with foods that I know give me cysts. I can't always control things when I eat out though, but if I get that strong of a reaction from eating a meal, I know what food NOT to order NEXT time!

All the best!

[No I'm Amy]

I'm just trying to get rid of my blackheads with it and I'm going to try to quit it once school starts to learn how to take care of my skin naturally.

I actually don't have much of a regimen for my back and chest so they're doing pretty well. Not as good as I'd luck, but that's okay.

thats a dangerous boat to be in. I was the same for while. Whenever I got a cyst I would elimanate certain food. I ended up with very few foods to choose from.

[R.S.]

so how'd you get out of that? accutane? liver flushing?

LOL, not really. I have PLENTY of foods to eat! The KEY is eliminating foods and then adding them back and retesting several times to make certain that the food you eliminate is truly your culprit. If you only avoid your culprits, (you must temporarily eliminate to find out or take a blood test or two), you should be left with plenty of foods. If one does turn out to be that sensitive, see....liver flushing and healing your leaky gut.

Modern man is around 200,000 years old, so eating gluten and dairy is relatively new to the diet - 10,000yrs is only the last 5% of the duration of our existence. In that regard, milk (and refined grains) are a recent addition to our diet The bible was written, what? 1500 yrs ago? Very recent in the evolution of the human gut lol

Rice milk is actually quite nice. You can also get flavoured variations of it (i.e. like vanilla) and it often comes fortified with calcium. However, note that rice milk can be high in sugar so depending on what acne diet you are following, you may or may not be able to include this in your diet.

[No I'm Amy]

My dad is out of town for the weekend so I'll have to wait. Oh well.

I don't know what type of acne I have- whether is is dairy related, lack of nutrients like lack of broccoli or whatever.
