I know it's related to poor liver function, so I don't think it would be that out of the question.

Hi, A blood test showed that I have a history (last 5 years at least) of high bilirubin levels. I've read that accutane can do this, and indeed I was on accutane twice in the past, but have not been...

I've read that people have been sensitive to red meat (beef and especially pork) but were fine with chicken (no skin) and fish. I'm going to try reduce red meat and replace it with fish to see what ha...

I always get 7-8hrs of sleep, although I usually do go to bed late (earliest midnight). I did notice my skin was at its worst when I was stressed out at work, but even when I have nothing on my mind...

I have cut out dairy, bread and soft drinks for over a year now. However, only in the last 3 months or so did I up the ante with vegetables (in terms of volume) and cut out rice which became a semi-st...

Hi everyone, I've had moderate/severe acne for 10 years. As with most people on here I've gone through the usual courses of antibiotics which included 2 stints of Roaccutane, which did nothing. I ex...

Ideally I would like to eat all my meals between 12pm and 5pm. I found doing this is quite distracting at work. What is the best time? Does it matter or is it just a function of the amount of time you...

Intermittent fasting has been mentioned extensively and I'm not asking about that specifically. I would like to know if anyone noticed a difference in their skin by skipping dinner, in isolation to ot...

A lot of feelings thrown around here, but can we try divert it back to the original question? Sorry.

I guess I'm more interested in the extent. If I was to be super happy could I be 100% clear in theory? I'm convinced that it might have some part, but 100% clear (something on that order) is what I'm ...

This is very left field and I have no idea what my stance is on this, but when researching how the gut affects acne I briefly skimmed across a sentence that said our mood can influence the level of ce...

I started taking my first Saw P supplement today. It's actually a Saw P Complex supplement that has a bunch of other things in it (B6, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene and Zinc). So I hope it works the same.

Any update on this?

I do as well, but I'm fairly confident that overall it is not going to help. I'm no doctor, but a personal theory is that it might just trigger an immune response as your body goes "oh crap, I have ...

I also have a coated tongue and got a tongue swab to test for candida but the result ended with 'no pathogens found'.

Hi everyone, Is there a way to know for sure if your hormones might be contributing to your acne? I have cystic acne and even when my skin was at it's best I always have cysts on my neck, chin and s...

I work with a microbiologist who is in contact with a few doctors that explicitly make their business on doing 'detective work' on patients as they have a genuine interest in understanding the field b...

I know that supplements usually aren't the only solution for most people on this forum, but I started researching dedicated herbal acne pills and a lot of them seem to encapsulate all the substances t...

To what extent do you cheat and have a chocolate bar for example? I find I generally eat healthy: I only drink tea and water, meat and vegetables for main meals (no potatoes or white rice), but occasi...

What are good 'top 5' vegetables to consume? Sometimes I hear how certain vegetables can be really good but don't seem to be as common as say Broccoli. What sort of quantities? Can I consume these dur...

I say the word 'diet' for linguistic simplicity even if it is stigmatized. Caloric restriction aka 'eating less' is a lifestyle change but I'm not going to call the thread 'skipping some meals'. The i...

I only drink water and green tea. On my fast days I will skip two meals, say breakfast and lunch, and then have a small dinner which ends up being 24hrs since my last meal.

Two week fast! I don't think I could ever do that, I did a 2 day fast and really suffered. The point of the 5/2 diet from what I've read is that it is a good compromise between the 'stress' of fasting...

Hi, I would like to know what degrees of success people have had with the 5/2 diet. It sounds very appealing as I think it's something I could easily get used to after a few weeks. I've found only s...

I half arsedly do this already and have been wondering if I should do it more rigorously. At the moment I just skip breakfast and aim for a 16hr fast. This means eating lunch around 1pm and then dinne...
