Other probiotics I've taken? I can't really remember names, but I've taken a lot over the past 15 years. Jarrow-Dophilus EPS has been the only one that has ever given me good results though. I took...

Fantastic Mrs Diamond! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experiment and results

This is frustrating. I wonder if there was a way to administer this in suppository or enema form, as to bypass the small intestine, if SIBO really is the issue here. I do know one thing for sure tho...

I don't believe that acid reflux would cause acne. However I believe that the thing that would cause acid reflux/GERD, also causes skin problems - a gut dysbiosis. So it may not be the case that one ...

I know sometimes people are sensitive to other things that are found IN wheat products that isn't gluten. Whether it's soy (soy lecithin is in just about every commercial bread product) or another fea...

Hi Mrs Diamond, Firstly, I'd like to say that you don't have to be coeliac or lactose intolerant, for wheat or milk (respectively) to give you acne. Infact you don't even need to be allergic to them....

I hear ya Beemm and I think you are absolutely correct about the gut dysbiosis. I'm convinced that it's responsible for almost all skin problems. However the actual effectiveness of the home procedure...

Listener, what brand do you use? It's called Elixa. And bear in mind I have tried MANY before, with zilch success. I stopped testing probiotics once i was on like... my TENTH brand. One brand did do...

Probiotics definitely cleared me right up....but they didn't contain Bacillus Coagulans. May I ask, why would you use Bacillus Coagulans? Is it not a spore-forming bacteria that's not found naturall...

So I just tried Elixa. Gave me the worst breakout I've had all year.   Personally I think it's strange for a product to claim "The #1 probiotic in the world" and yet hasn't moved past selling on...

A little update: Everything's going well. The skin on my upper back and neck are now as smooth as my under-forearm. Really weird sensation to feel that. Still haven't got used to it yet. Face is all t...

500 CFU's?? Holy that's a lot. I remember having diarrhea after just taking 10 billion CFU's. This stuff would kill me... Yeah if you got diarrhoea maybe it was from inulin/FOS in your supplement. &...

Hey Paige, I'm confident I've given this an extremely thorough trial since it has been atleast 10 weeks. Despite it recommending just to take it once, the positive results made me super motivated jus...

  Probiotics were the silver bullet that cleared my skin completely. I wonder whether people breaking out from them may be taking probiotics containing additional ingredients such as inulin/fru...

Have a look into Low-FODMAP instead. But learn and understand the acronym rather than trusting the charts that people put up of allowed/disallowed foods. Most of them are wrong.

That chart you put up overcomplicates things and seems to be drastically wrong in any case. My general low-FODMAP advice would be: Avoid simple sugar. Avoid Dairy. Avoid veg/carbs other than white ric...

Listener, Thank you for your advice. I will follow your suggestion with using the nizoral 2% cream and see if the problem clears up. With regards to what my current skin care routine is, my GP presc...

Wow, well you certainly answered my question comprehensively! I'm going to have to bow out of this discussion because my knowledge in the area of hormone therapy is not great. It might be worth getti...

Hi there. Do not despair. We can tackle this with a systematic approach until it is resolved. My first question: What makes you think this is hormonal acne? I.e. specifically related to an incorrect ...

Firstly: Do not worry bro. This looks very mild and should be fixable in no time. Secondly: I agree that it might have something to do with dermatitis. Based on your description of it I would advise ...

Women can experience this quite commonly following discontinuing or beginning BCP, HRT, menstrual bleeding reduction medication. The common diagnosis is that it is caused by a change in hormones. How...

To answer your question: Absolutely, yes! I do the following to create a real matte look to my face. -Take one of those bushy makeup brushers that girls use to apply bronzer or whatever powder they ...
