Hi, im 23 years old male. I've had severe acne since i was 13 or 14. Didnt know anything about diet and skin connection until last year, so now im trying to fix all this damage. At first changing my diet really cleared up my skin. I was eating veggies, fruits, nuts, chicken, salmon ect. But suddenly i started breaking out again and ever since i've been trying everything and no matter what i eat my skin is inflamed. I"ve tryied many possible solutions just nothing works. Lately i tryied fasting for 2 days and then consuming large amounts of probiotics which made my skin go just horrible. Im still taking high quality probiotics 2 times a day aswell supplementing cod liver oil but its just not the case. I feel like its something more serious. Im so confused what should i eat or do. Can anyone give me some advice please? How can i address this problem? What kind of tests should i do? Im just feeling so hopeless and sad. Waiting forward your reply. Thanks.
Have you taken antibiotics recently ? Do you have a white tongue ? Do you have dandruff ? Get back to me if the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, A white tongue indicates candida,. Dandruff indicates malasezzia. Both of these are fungal, and outbreaks of them are caused by taking antibiotics.
Diet will NOT fix candida or malassezia but certain foods will make the problem worse. Avoid salmon (contains lots of histamines), yeast, gluten (wheat), dairy and all preservatives.
Keep your skin very dry and do NOT use moisturiser.
If you get back to me with answers to the questions above, I can provide information on how to control your problem.
