4 months of paleo, 1 month of probiotics. Acne is mostly a digestive inflammatory problem. Please check out White fox's thread if you really want to get clear and dont want an overnight fix. I'd like to to thank him for taking the time to come back and help the community even after he was clear, a very rare trait.

That's awesome. So are you now able to eat whatever junk food you like without breaking out?

Congrats! Are you ever going back to eating grains again or are you going to stay on paleo for a lot longer?

[Oner]

was the 1 month of probiotics after the 4 months of paleo or during? also, when did you see noticeable improvement after the paleo diet? I've been on it for 3 days and need some encouragement. i will check out whitefox's thread now.

also, how much do you attribute probiotics to clearing your skin? I want to go on probiotics but I always breakout when I do, even for extended periods of time.

Congrats on your success!

Paleo is the cure for most. And congrats!

[onefatalgoose]

Very cool. Anything change for your topical approach to acne?

[sirios]

Congratulations.
Can you eat grains again without breaking out, now?

I don't think paleo is a cure, it does help but doesnt fix it completely.

I think the probiotics could be the actual fix, because it fixes the gut, while the paleo diet just helps it.


I've been doing paleo for ages and acne has improved but not completely disappeared, but now I'm gonna try the kefir grains i received. I'm hoping this is the "cure".

Go paleo!

It isn't a cure because there's no such thing. And because it might not address all of your personal issues. But many people experience clear skin from diet changes like paleo that cut the refined carbs and industrial fats and other crap while increasing nutrient content.

I have to work soon but I'll try n reply to most of you. I plan on staying paleo as long as I can, and the probiotics were added just this month. And @onefatalgoose I've never used topicals, because I feel like its just covering up and underlying problem, I'd rather see what my body wants to tell me, know if I'm doing it right or doing it wrong.

@joner i think probiotics are equally as important as a good diet

I would like to know what kind of probiotics you are taking, actually I am taking Swiss natural probiotic (7 billion C.F.U) once a day and I'm thinking about going for twice probiotics/day with 2 different brands.

I pay them 23 bucks for 30 pills, not sure if cheap or too expensive!
