I was browsing on the gluten free.org message board the other day and found that nearly everybody had their skin condidtions after they stopped eating gluten. Could it be possible that we are all intolerant to gluten or some other food, that causes digestive troubles?

I know Gluten free sounds impossible for most people, but maybe thats why so many people havew acne.

Gluten Free means no wheat, anything saying "starch", except corn starch, no pasta, no bread, no cereal, You can buy gluten free bagels, and such at health food stores. I did, I started three days ago.

I'll let you know how it goes, apparently most people notice change after about a month.

Also rice, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, millet, oats and breads and pasta made with them
The good thing is that grains are usually less nutritious than other foods like vegetables, nuts, eggs, fatty fruits (by nutritious I mean nutrients/kcal) and it's well known that our diet worsened a lot when we discovered agriculture and began making bread and graind our majori staple food in the diet.
But these cereals (with the exception or rice) are more nutritious than the other ones, they contain a greatern amount of vitamins and minerals and more protein.
Substituting morning cereals for oats and pasta/bread for miller alone would increase the nutritional index of one's diet and therefore one's health

My accupuncturist/naturopath told me I had problems with gluten which I already suspected because everytime I had a piece of wheat bread or pasta I'd get nodules, and I was thinking it didn't have anything to do with the GI of the food. Anyways I just got back from vacation (where I ate pretty much what I wanted) and I've embarked on eating a gluten-free, dairy free diet along with some other refinements (no MSG, no spicy food, no chocolate, no heavily fried food [stir fries are fine], etc.). So far, so good. No breakouts and inflammation is down. But I think eating gluten free will only help those who have a problem with it.

So I've got some GF Brown Rice bread so I can make sandwiches / toast out of that (it's thick stuff but it's decent bread if you get it nice and hot from the toaster), and I plan on doing like a brown rice pasta w/ homemade spaghetti sauce dish for dinner sometime soon. Anyone else got any good ideas for gluten free dairy free cooking? The majority of my diet is like leafy greens, sprouted beans / legumes, gluten free grains like quinoa and rice, fruits, eggs and fish... But I need some good recipes and ideas so it doesn't all get old too fast!

You also have to remember, those who are actually celiacs are usually the ones who see a much greater or complete improvement compared with those who are not really celiacs.

That site you visited is full of celiacs, so their results can't be compared with the normal population.

But of course there is only one way to find out.

I read on the Celiac Site, that 1 out of every 3 persons has a gluten intolerance.
But only 1 out of 250, is a diagnosed Celiac.


I'm on day 4, gluten free. And to my suprise, its a lot easier to eat gluten free than previously thought, I went to the store and a lot of things already are labeled for gluten intolerants. And I went on the fast food chain websites... Wendy;s , MC Donalds, BK, and printed off a copy of their gluten free menu's for my car.

I imagine its going to take at least a 30day to see the gluten-free difference. to un-do all those years of killing my intestine with grains.

[A sadness I can't erase]

I've been on a gluten-free diet for some time now. While I'm not exactly sure it contributes to my acne (I have a hunch it does, though), it's good to just avoid it all together.

I would avoid those restaurants altogether. The employees really won't take care in avoiding gluten contamination anyways.

But I don't believe 33% of the population is gluten-intolerant...that is just way too high. That's higher than the number of people with any type of allergies (25%). Where did you read this off of?

I work with an Autistic Kid who is on the GlutenFree Diet and he has mad acne!!

For sure gluten-free is not going to cure everybody. Everyone has their own causes.
