Just get some milk thistle or artichoke extract (for liver detoxification). I would try that first. I used to get forehead acne and it seemed to be a liver issue. Artichoke extract helped.   ...

.. I also did a ton of research on histamines and their effect on skin inflammations, and fermented foods are on the top list of things to avoid if there is a histamine sensitivity or high IgE. I wa...

I'd stop the chromium for sure.

Can you tell me why you shouldnt take probiotics with inulin, FOS, and bifidobacterium? I havent heard of this but I take a 50billion probiotic from Renew Labs and I swear it makes me break out. I k...

Have you tried taking probiotics? The reason you break out from all carbs is probably a yeast and/or bacterial overgrowth in your gut, especially since you were on antibiotics in the past. In that cas...

The omega 3-6-9 supplement might be breaking you out. We usually get plenty of omega 6 from our diets and don't need to supplement. And the oils typically used in these types of supplements can cause ...

How about spearmint tea? By the way, flax seeds/oil break me out like crazy (and I am female). I have a lot of food allergies, and eating foods I'm allergic to always causes breakouts, but I had one...

Yeah I know. My friend is in the same situation with his health and his doctor told him that there is only a microscopic percentage of people on Earth who have a bad reaction to goat milk. Apparently,...

I'm very skeptical about a low fat, high carb diet being helpful for a yeast overgrowth. Even if the sugars are being digested and absorbed quickly, they are still in the digestive tract for awhile, w...

Many of us don't feel the need to wait around for such studies. We've done our own personal trials and have seen good results. Everyone is different in terms of which foods they can tolerate, and it c...

It's probably not the omega 3 fatty acids themselves that break you out, but the sources you are getting them from. Flax seed oil breaks me out terribly, while cod liver oil only improves my skin.

If you are getting 1400 calories from fat, I don't think it would be "primarily all" omega 6. As far as I understand, only polyunsaturated fatty acids are classified as omega 3 or 6. Coconut oil for i...

You might be breaking out from carbs because of an intestinal yeast or bacterial overgrowth, not necessarily just blood sugar/insulin issues. I used to have the same problem (breaking out from any sig...

I can't handle too many carbs either, but I can eat the following (in reasonable portions):   boiled fruit -- I boil apples, frozen blueberries, and a few dates in a little water for about 10 min...

I assume you're already avoiding any vegetable oils, ESPECIALLY OLIVE OIL, which has horrible impacts w/r/t inflammatory response and WILL wreck your hormonal balance and thus may PERMANENTLY damage y...

I probably have mercury toxicity because my mom ingested mercury as a child. She never did any sort of detox for it and I'm sure some of it probably went into my body as I was her firstborn child. I h...

My whole point is that it doesn't matter how long you have been on the diet if you still haven't adjusted to several sources of probiotics and prebiotics and/or still have gastrointestinal problems or...

Sounds like you have a heck of a lot of food allergies, which probably indicates a leaky gut. I'd suggest cutting out gluten, first of all, since it's a major cause of leaky gut. (I'm guessing you're ...

I've heard of people being able to wean off HCl supplements after some time... so I don't think they reduce your own production of stomach acid. I have been supplementing with HCl for years, but I hav...

I've looked into this and know it isn't the case for me because during two of the healthiest, clearest-skinned times in my life, I was eating a ton of these histamine foods.   Things can change...

I have the opposite, really. Not enough fat and nothing in my body seems to work right. I think some people work better running off more carbs and some running off more fat. Update on me: Day 3 on the...

Low dose B5 i have always recommended, I take 500mg a day, you can see the difference in reduction of oil and better complexion. Same here, although I usually take 500 mg twice a day. I think one of...

I would suspect a yeast and/or bacterial overgrowth in your gut. I am dealing with basically the same problem... but can handle a little more carbs now than I could in the past, since I started taking...

If eating the beans was the problem i would have acne all over my face because i eat it pretty much every day.   I don't really agree with this. For me, eating certain foods I am allergic to wi...

I'm not so sure that fermented foods are good for everyone with acne. I totally agree that the root cause of acne is often leaky gut and imbalanced gut flora, and probiotics should help resolve those ...
