Hey everyone! Just curious if anyone else here has an intolerance to corn. It is probably the worst intolerance to have because corn is in absolutely EVERYTHING. Can anyone relate? I have found corn...

I also don't think it is fair to say that everyone here is buying into the latest holistic fad to cure themselves of acne. There is such a depth of information here that no doubt does help people conq...

I think the biggest symptom in determining adrenal fatigue is low blood pressure. I literally almost black out when I get up too fast and that is not normal. But you are right, the list is vague and f...

Just wanted to bump this thread as I've been looking into the adrenals and possible hormone imbalance as a contributor to my symptoms too. Would it be worth seeing a doctor for an adrenal test / estro...

Awesome Chelslaw!! That's such great news!! How do you like taking the Saw Palmetto? Any side effects? I always have considered taking something for hormone balance but Im so terrified it will break ...

I haven't updated in quite a while because my skin has been doing so much better than I haven't come online recently! I decided to delete the pictures I posted because I'm just too paranoid someone I ...

Interesting.. because for the past few days I have been consuming a large amount of flax seeds and my skin is looking better than usual. Do you think females with hormonal imbalance like low estrogen ...

Sorry to hear you had a bad breakout chelslaw - unfortunately I can second that as well. Gluten free is so good for you so I'm sure that is helping internally. How did your skin take the dairy? Conf...

Thank you for the original post! So much great information and I could not agree with you more on all of your advice. I've been on a roller coaster ride for the past year myself trying to figure my bo...

My skin is in pretty bad shape right now from veering off my diet too much so I don't really want to experiement until I get it clear again. I researched and realized what I was taking was fish oil, n...

You just figured something out for me! I know many people (myself included) who can not take cod liver oil without having huge cystic breakouts! I could never figure out why but it is from the iodine!...

Feeling kind of down these past few days... It seems that it's going to take more to clear my skin that just avoiding wheat and corn like I did before. I ate a bit of sugar to test things, some gluten...

Yes! I judge the inflammation in my body based on if I have KP on my upper arms or not and how bad it is. When I eat foods I am not allergic to my arms are perfectly smooth, if I eat something I'm all...

I would second stopping the supplements. I know that when I took fish oil I broke out in lot's of cysts on my chin and I wasn't even prone to cysts. Probiotics also gave me horrible breakouts! Both ar...

Hey Sasch83! Thank you for the encouragment, it really does suck when you eat something and think it will be fine only to find out it definately was not. Great idea about making my own bars so that I ...

Thank you chelslaw! If you see me up close in person it looks like a big makeuped mess unfortunately but oh well. I screwed up big time yesterday and the day before. Everything was going great and I...

How long ago did you start taking the probiotics? Just curious because I know that when I tried to take them in the first few days they gave me tons of little whiteheads all over my face which lasted ...

I had a great day yesterday even though my skin still looked like crap. I was having anxiety about seeing a friend I hadn't seen in a year because last time we hung out I had perfectly clear skin. I d...

Hey Sasch83! I remember talking to you in the beginning of your hollistic journey. It is so hard when you are trying your best to make so many changes and it dosen't help your acne, very frustrating. ...

How long ago did you start taking the probiotics? Just curious because I know that when I tried to take them in the first few days they gave me tons of little whiteheads all over my face which lasted ...

Food: I did pretty well today! I went to my local raw food cafe and got half a litre of fresh juice with beet, grapefruit, orange and lemon. I also picked up a litre of kale, celery, apple, lemon and ...

Glad that you will be following along chelslaw! My acne at the moment is moderate but any day it can range from mild to moderate. Normally I break out on my chin as well, around my mouth/nose and ever...

Hey Everyone, Decided to start a log because my skin is at it's worst since I was in middle school but I want to show you that with a healthy diet I can clear it up. I also want to use this log as a...

Good for you for wanting to figure out what is going on internally. Like you I've been on Accutane a few times and while it cleared me I wanted to treat the cause and not just the symptoms and the acn...

My two main allergies are corn and wheat and they both give me different symptoms. Corn - Bad breakouts and super oily skin but no digestive issues Wheat - Dark circles under my eyes, lack of energy...
