Ive been thinking about how bowel movements could be related to acne. Could they be related in any way? I have bad bowel movements and go about every 2-4 days. And i have acne.

Just wondering if there is a connection between the 2.

I have moderate acne. Dont know if it has a connection though.

If you don't go once a day then you're considered "constapated" If you're constapated then there's more toxins in your body...eat lots of apples and drink lots. Lots of fruit+veggies then it should be more normal. Since I eat better now my skin is much better. But that's just me.

i had this problem when i had a eating disorder and i think it was probably the onset of my acne, i would eat at most a bowl of cereal a day..... metamucil can help with this but it is best to just start eating healthy 2-3 times a day or more if you can handle it. If your not gaining weight, which if you plan a healthy routine you wont, then eat as much as 6 small meals a day.

That is actually much more healthy than once every 3-4 days.

[drifter88]

how do u take dumps every 2-5 days..i have to go every morning....no more no less =D

[Ryan Valmont]

I still eat well...like a cocktail pasty and susage roll at lunch times...plus i always eat me evening meal.

it's just i don't seem to go toilet much...but since i've been drinking green tea i've been going alot more frequently.

[ballaballa]

I mean i sometimes go everyday but it doesnt feel like im getting a lot out. I feel like its all collecting in there and the bad toxins are causing my acne. Should i just drink Prune juice everyday?

[malia]

if you look at curezone.com you'll see that most people there believe there definitely IS a connection between acne and bowel movements, more specifically clean and healthy bowels. some have had success clearing their acne by doing a "bowel cleanse". check it out. i'm starting a month long bowel cleanse tomorrow. hope it will help.

btw, i go every 2-3 times depending on what i eat. (and not considered healthy)

There is a HUGE connection. If you're not getting enough bowel movements, your body can't eject toxins quickly enough in the normal way, so they end up coming out through the skin instead, leading to acne. You should be having minimum 2 or 3 bowel movements a day.

Acne is bad enough, there is no need to start making people feel more ill than they really are. And please stop peddling this 'toxin' quackery. If there really were toxins in the bloodstream that led to acne, then it would be easy to find out by doing some scientific measurements on the blood.

Oh man, it's been so long since I had a laugh that good. Thanks man, you truly have a way with words, especially when it comes to bowels.

I love people who are smart. I agree -- the "Toxin" theory "seems" like it'd work except that there's still no reason for your skin to eject toxins. Regardless, acne is just because we produce too much oil -- pimples aren't made of junk food.

Hi,

Do a blood test to see if you have H. Pylori, the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers. I am not sure if there is a link, but I have a gut feeling it might. Hope that helps.
