Ok people:D Thanks for all advices I really appreciate your help So I'll try remove omega 3 oil fish and probiotics, I take it from the beginning of my regimen so maybe when I cut them something can improve. Ive stopped use all topicals for 3 weeks and I avoid it no matter what:) I also thought about food allergy (IgG) but I need more time to save my money and do this tests. I have to find how make non dairy yougurt Yes you're rigt Quetzl1, it's very important to find a cause, so let's do it

I think btw I sleep quite good 7-8h and I'm not tired during the day,and avoid stress but I don't exercise maybe because I'm lazy
But if it's a folliculitis because lately I have pimples located around a hair follicle?

4 months ago I took Amoxicillin(pills) with Metronidazole (pills) and everything has gone after 2 days, when I used to use epiduo everything has gone after 3-4 days too. Is it really acne? Sometimes I have pmples on my scalp, but sometimes.

I just looked at the photo, your skin is very oily. That's the reason you have acne in that area. Once your diet kicks in and all those oils level off and toxins are out of the body, and any anti-bodies are all gone (from food allergies) your skin will not produce oil like this. I was oily before I cut out dairy and gluten, where gluten was the biggest food allergen I have. My skin is never oily anymore and it's always comfortable. Good luck

My skin is doing the exact same thing. I did do OCM for 5 days which may have caused the whiteheads on my forehead, temples and around my month. I'm hoping its not Paleo. I have basically pinned all my hope on Brenton that said his skin was worse during month 1, and improved in month 2.

Why not Paleo, is there something bad with this diet? Or better is Candida diet?

Buy a whole chicken, eat the meat+skin and stuff, put the bones in a big pot of water, let it simmer for 2-4 hours. Use the broth for soup with fresh organic vegetables, try to have this meal as often as possible and make sure the chicken was fed it's natural diet/pastured/not given antibiotics. If you grow tired of the taste start using beef, lamb, fish, duck, rabbit, etc. bones. Make sure the animal lived a good life, they're more nutritious that way. When I was eating nothing but bone broth based soups for a week, I saw the most progress I'd ever seen my skin make in over 5 years. It's because bone broth contains everything your gut lining is made of and your gut, your GI tract, is 80% of your immune system.

At night put raw coconut oil on your face. I know it may seem odd because your skin type has been described as "oily" and putting anything on your skin seems odd and counter-productive, but trust me. It'll help to draw toxins out and make it more soft. Emollient herbs/oils have this property, of skin softness.

Stick with the probiotics, particularly if the one you take has a lot of strains of bacteria (more than just acidopholus/lactobacillus, which you can get from yogurt/kefir but bifido bacterium, bulgaricus, streptococcus, etc.). They'll do you more good if you heal the gut lining itself along with the probiotics, then they will help you even more. Take a good quality cod liver oil and stay away from generic fish oil brands.

Go outside and get some sun, drink lots of water, don't look at bright lights before bed, etc.

lower masturbation/sex it cant do bad.

if you want to know why its cuz, ejucation=alot of DHT

DHT=acne

im talking from personal experience

[overfl00d]

I made a post here how I cured my acne with diet and supplementation. (here http://www.acne.org/...ation-or-drugs/ )

I don't think you should stop taking probiotics or your EFA's: that's extremely good for your health.

Instead of fish oils, take Flaxseed oil.

Ive got a few questions about this soup how do I have to prepare a chicken (cook it, fry or what)? and should I add all vegetables to the pot during simmer or eat them separately? Ive used coconut oil for 3 days but now I must put it also on my skin. I never done it before my skin is much oily after 5 hours. :/

Don't fry it, silly. Sautee or lightly cook it in coconut oil, duck fat, butter, etc. just until the meat's all white, I was mostly talking about buying a pastured rotisserie chicken but you could buy a whole bird if you like and cook it in the oven too. Just use fresh/dried herbs and onions or garlic or whatever you want, lemon goes well on a baked chicken. As for the vegetables in the broths later, it depends on your digestion. If your digestive tract is sensitive (your stomach's always upset, loose or hard stool, constipation, etc.) then I'd recommend cooking the vegetables well, especially things with a tough stalk like cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, and celery. Add things like garlic, greens, and onions last minute though because you don't want those overcooked.

No, I'm also three weeks in but my skin is reacting the same way as yours. I am following a higher carb version (lots of sweet potato and butternut) due to weight issues and depression. Also feel that this is not just a diet but a way of life, and I need to eat things that I enjoy and can see myself eating for the rest of my life. Candida diet is not a long term thing for me, I cant live on veggies, meat and sat fat only.

Be careful of putting oil on your face, it does not work for everyone.

Thank You a lot I'll do it, I hope it helps

I think you should cut high carbs and eat only low GL food. Maybe it'd help I think my lifestyle was quite healthy before changing my diet. Ive never eaten sugar, only fruits, wholemeal bread, brown rice, some vegetables, a lot of water, bicycling and walks but it doesn't work. So maybe when I cut all high gl food, sugar - even fruits, gluten and dairy something is gonna change. It needs time, we'll see what will happen after 3- 4 months

Try this Lilo, I noticed this topic three days ago and it's really helpful : http://www.acne.org/...re-is-my-proof/

Yes, that's what I meant, Brenton's acne got worse in the 1st month so maybe I am the same!? I don't know about giving up sweet potato and pumpkin, they are both anti-inflammatory and low GL if you check nutritiondata.com.

And I know I'll give in if I eat meat, fat and non-starchy veggies, not to mention that I am underweight and people think I suffer from anorexia.

How is your skin now? My skin is so bad, white heads popping up all over, yesterday I applied some hydrogen peroxide and borax solution, and things have dried up a bit.

People think I don't eat eaither. They ask me "Bart, do you eat something?" lol My face looks so ugly. I've got also many new whiteheads, red pimples, they are everywhere. I don't wanna use any topicals. My look makes me a little bit sad when I'm looking in the mirror and see many spots but I don't care. I won't give up and keep this diet up, will se what will happen after 2-3 months. I'm living in hope now. When I stopped using all topicals my skin in not dry, this is only one good thing.

My skin is probably at its worst now, I don't understand how your acne can get worse on paleo. It does not make any sense? I more often read of immediate improvement. Not getting worse the longer you remain on the diet? I won't be able to function like this, going to work looking like a war zone.

I do have some bactrim left from a previous round, should I maybe take it for a week, just to get over this massive break-out, its almost as if each follicle is becoming inflamed at the moment. Not sure what to do, this is not normal. Otherwise I will revert to only meat, chicken, fish and low starch veg...

Bart, we need to figure this out, I also don't want to give up. Give me a complete break-down of what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm trying to think what has changed, and the only thing I can think is that I have upped my egg intake this last week or two. I have also stopped eating nuts and sauerkraut for the time being.

And you don't think the meat has anything to do with it?

What do you cook with, what oil?

[Lilo]

Do you think it could be the meat, I thought it was the whole point behind paleo? I cook with butter or coconut oil.

Yes, meat can lead to blocked up digestive tract and a swollen colon, eating a lot of meat is terrible for your colon health. Colon/digestive problems has been linked to acne for some people. I would advise you to look into a raw diet, not 100% but what you are doing now is pretty much the exact opposite of vegetarian. I eat about 80-90% raw (fruits/veggies/seeds), and about 10-20% meat (chicken/fish/salmon only) and use only coconut oil to cook with. If you still have breakouts on the Paleo diet you need to research about changing your diet from an omnivore, at least for beef and pork. Beef and pork raise your insulin levels, which causes inflammation in the digestive tract that can also lead to inflammation of the skin, and cause acne. It can also lead to gland functionality problems and your hormones may become unbalanced, and stimulate sebum glands and oil.

You need to avoid any and all inflammatory foods, which will be different for each person. The top things to cut are: sugars, processed foods, gluten, dairy, and red meats. Next I would advise you to do an elimination diet to see what foods cause you inflammation, this will be different for each person.

[Lilo]

Thanks for your advice, I have a long history of constapation, I have to admit. I eat very little red meat overall and no pork, but a lot of fish. I will incorporate more raw as of now and also drop the butter. What is your take on eggs?

Many people have food sensitivities with egg whites, personally I don't eat eggs, but they were never an issue for me. The way to go about an elimination diet is to not eat a certain food for 2-4 weeks and then eat it again and see what happens. The only things eggs give me is bad gas, lol, so I no longer eat them. A large number of my daily calories comes from fruit (I eat about 3000 calories a day, high carb fruits with little to no fat). I also eat veggies and take zinc/magnesium/multi vitamin daily just to ensure I am getting all my vitamins and minerals.

I eat fish and chicken, but not every day, maybe 3-4 times a week.
