I've actually been looking into HCL and digestive enzymes. I know I have SIBO going on so maybe that could explain why my body isn't digesting certain fats too. I think I will give that a try! Thanks ...

Yeah it is extremely strange. I'm kind of putting it down to some sort of healing reaction or hormonal change. It's also not other foods it has been happening over the past few years and I've proven i...

I'm wondering if anyone can explain the science of this to me. Every time I eat more than a little bit of good fats my skin breaks out in cysts on my chin. I'm not prone to cystic acne and this is the...

I'm not taking all of those things right now, just listing them to know what I can take to help with this. Right now I'm taking peppermint oil once a day, caprylic acid once a day and sometimes a gold...

Well unfortunately I keep messing things up. Treating this is really and trial and error game, just like it was trying to find my food intolerances. I'm extremely confident that when I do get rid of t...

I don't think you can exclude stress just because your skin didn't improve during a 6-week holiday. Often when I'm stressed, it takes months of trying to take things slower before I start to feel comp...

Nothing topical has ever made a difference, if anything it has always made it worse for me. Benzoyl peroxide dosen't do anything to my skin anymore other than dry it out and irritate it... I prefer t...

Grrrrr so angry at myself. I was clearing up beautifully but I messed it up by eating thai food. I'm not intolerant to it, but it was sweet and greasy and high carbohydrate and now I am breaking out...

Aw so glad to hear that Chelslaw! Gluten is such a crapy thing to eat for health anyway, and there are so many alternatives these days. That sounds great though, it's amazing when you find the answer ...

I'm also a person who breaks out from probiotics but I think I've found out why. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. If you have this going on adding probiotics is only going to make the situation ...

The things I'm reading so far relate a lot to me as well. Heavy antibiotic use in the past. Good probiotic yogurt and lot's of fruit in your diet. You probably have food intolerances and small int...

Where is your acne primarily located on your face? Is it small papules, or red inflamed pustules? or cysts under the skin? Or do these vary by their location? I believe in chinese face mapping for a...

So yesterday I ate very healthy - veggie omelette for breakfast, carrot sticks, cheese, almonds as snacks and then baked vegetables for dinner. I'm trying to eat as close to a paleo diet as I can and ...

Thank you for your continued support Chelslaw! How are things going with you and your treatment of your skin? Here is two pictures from today - one without makeup and one with. I have no active pimp...

Starting this log up again. My skin is now WORSE than it was in middle school and it is horrifying. Okay maybe not worse in severity of the pimples but definitely in quantity! I have been experimen...

Really interesting! thank you for posting! Do you know of any natural ways/remedies to elevate progesterone?

I've found my forehead acne is directly related to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. If I take natural antibiotics (peppermint oil, oregano oil, olive leaf extract, coconut oil) and avoid sugar a...

Scalp acne is usually foliculitus... it could also be the cause of your body acne as well. You have to figure out if it is bacterial or fungal since conventional medical treatment focuses on one or th...

Has anyone here looked into research about small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and it's affect on acne? I'd be really interested to hear any information. I used to be able to control my acne if I ...

I would also like to back up eliminating certain foods.. if I eliminate all sources of wheat and corn I do not have acne. Unfortunately corn is in everything so it has proven very difficult, but many ...

Flaxseed oil is highly estrogenic and can cause massive breakouts for some people, fish oil is also known to cause cysts in people who take it. I would cut those out of your regimen for at least a few...

Also forgot to say: if you have a corn intolerance DO NOT do an aspirin mask. I recently gave myself 3 cysts from this and I am not even prone to cysts. Aspirin contains corn starch as do many face wa...
