Probiotics do the same thing to me. I would be that it is the cause of it unfortunately.

I think this comes down to loving yourself - with acne or without. You are not a monster because you have acne.. it makes me so sad to hear that. It is not your fault that you have it and it doesn't m...

What you are talking about isn't actually acne, it is Keratosis Pilaris. No one knows exactly why it happens but for me I have found it reflects the amount of inflammation going on with my skin. If I ...

Photoshop has us thinking that because we have acne we are not normal. In my findings I think it is more abnormal to have nice skin. Having acne past the age of 19-20 is abnormal. It depends on how...

For so long I tried to be perfect. To obtain perfect skin with not a single flaw. Let me tell you something: it doesn't exist. Photoshop has us thinking that because we have acne we are not normal. I...

Can't quite say I agree with water fasting for so long myself - although I've never tried it. But I can say I totally agree with what you said about positive affirmations! I read Eckhart Toille's boo...

I fully hear you on antibiotics not being a walk in the park... the thing is I tried everything natural first! Things I tried internally: clove oil, peppermint oil, garlic, olive leaf extract, oil of...

Hey chelslaw, thank you for your continued support I'm so glad going gluten free had such great affects for you! I'm sure the one bump is just a warning sign to get back into your regular pattern a...

thanks for the support guys Forgot about apple cider vinegar, that's a great idea to balance things out. Staph is something you don't want to mess around with that's for sure... mine isn't staph b...

Hey everyone, I have been dealing with a new form of acne for me for about the past 5 months. I cleared all of my regular acne through diet changes and stayed clear for a good year. I then got food p...

Closing this log down. I went to the doctor today and I don't have acne I have folliculitus!!! He says it is bacterial and I will need to go on minocycline. So obviously no amount of diet changes are...

Ugh I am yet again an idiot. I was only taking 100mg of B5 for 3 days and it has broken my skin out like crazy! Actual painful pimples everywhere which I never get. 100mg... most people take like 10 g...

Wow that was a horrible breakout from the jojoba oil! I used to put oil on my skin everyday! It is so hard to tell if what I am currently dealing with is external or internal. Surely it is a combina...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents and say probiotics can DEFINITELY break you out if you have SIBO. They are perfectly healthy for normal people but a large portion of acne sufferers actually have small i...

I've learned a lot since I posted this... if probiotics are breaking you out it is likely that you have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.. adding to the overgrowth (even if it is good bacteria) e...

Well I realize I may sound crazy in this log, which I am fine with... But I have another hypothesis. I no doubt have SIBO resulting from food poisoning, low stomach acid etc. but I guess a big part ...

I've had great success with natural antibiotics and am currently using them to treat small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which is exasperating my acne.. Many of them are also anti fungal which clear...

I love 90% dark chocolate and don't find it breaks me out either. It tastes amazing! It has lot's of magnesium and iron in it as well so it is really good for you! I also find if I eat too much it giv...

Well my skin was getting better... I think I need to deal with my emotional problems just as much as my diet. My skin looks horrible because I can't stop squeezing and picking. Maybe 1/10th of the ac...

Grains aren't the devil.. I don't think you should ever exclude one whole food group unless you are intolerant to it. Yes they are hard on the digestive system and can be high GI but they also have im...

I think some foods are okay for some people, others or not. My theory is to always listen to your stomach - if it makes weird noises/feels weird/bloats after you eat something best to cut it out for a...

Just a quick update but my skin is doing really well! I stayed on my natural anti-bacterials for one week and then stopped taking all of them. I am drinking apple cider vinegar every few days but fo...

Don't listen to these people. They have "zero" credentials and do nothing but spread their misinformation about acne based upon what they read online. Acne has nothing to do with diet, as every REAL d...

I think FODMAPS is the way to go if paleo and anti-candia don't clear you too. I cleared myself for a year and half by finding my food intolerances (wheat and corn) but then got food poisoning and a...
