Mr. Brownstone

I only started eating a lot of Almonds (and Cashews and Pumpkin seeds) recently myself. Everything online tends to suggest you do need to soak them and then properly dry them. I did try and do this a ...

here's a pic taken this morning. wish I had some photos from around Christmas when my skin was at its worst.  As said, there's still some redness, but it's all progress! 

So yesterday marked 3 months of my diet. As I've said, I've not had any large pustules or cysts at all during this time. I am getting the occasional spot, but they go down super quick and never seem t...

I'd say, if you're getting blood and clear liquid, I would say the spot isn't ready to be squeezed.

So I went out after work with a few colleagues last Friday to a steak restaurant. I checked the menu before hand and pretty much everything had Gluten in it. I ended up having a steak with sweet potat...

Along with my Gluten/Dairy ban, I am trying to stay quite low GI myself. I do wish I could put on a bit more weight though. I feel too thin.

Congrats! keep up the good work!

1 week update. So my girlfriends, Grandad's 90th Birthday was on Sunday. At his request we ordered a ton of Miss Millies (KFC type place) Chicken and Fries. The beer was in full flow, so I ended up d...

Sorry, I completely didn't see this. In all honesty, I stopped using it after a few days. I found the BP better for me. in the past I used a 10% BP cream but I've switched to a 5 now and it's not so...

Pumpkin Seeds Quinoa (make up a big batch and keeps in the fridge for 4-5 days)

OK, so it's been about a week since I last posted. We've been having some nice weather the last week, (I live in the UK) so I've been able to get out in the garden. I've gotten a little tan which is...

give it a go. you may find it helps. I celebrated 8 weeks gluten and dairy free on April 2nd. this day coincided with a few of my friends staying the weekend. I thought this would be the best time to...

6 and a bit weeks update... Things are going great. my skin over the last week has been the best it's been in a long time. No new cysts forming and again, the last few spots I did get healed much q...

1 month in, and I feel pretty good to be honest. 33/M. I have suffered with acne all my life to some degree. Originally joined this website in 2002 when my acne was really effecting my social life (1...

I have been using BP for many years. Doctor recently gave me a tube of skinoren to apply instead. I'm reading that Azelaic Acid is good for reducing the redness in spots. Would it be OK to use the S...

Positivity is the best outlook. It can certainly be difficult, but you have to try and remain positive. Negativity just breeds more of itself and can lead you to stress which is never good for acne. ...

It's not much but all I can say is keep on keeping on, brother. Much love.

What do you believe to be the underlying factor that causes acne? I think it's fair to state that there are people whos acne has decreased in severity due to diet changes, although again, this doesnt ...

So After cutting out Wheat/Dairy/Sugar, I've been loading up on veggies to keep me full. I was considering using probiotics (kefir) to try and mend my potentially damaged gut after reading about Candi...

Could you give a bit more detail on what you did eat? I've been gluten/dairy/sugar free for just over 2 weeks now and am having quite a break out at the minute. I realise it's early days but It's a li...

Hi all, I've been forgoing my morning coffee for a few weeks and am looking for a sugar/sweetner substitute to add it it that won't break me out like sugar can. does anyone know of anything?

have you ever tried cutting out the wheat, gluten, sugar and dairy? you seem to have quite a bit of it in your diet. I'm of a similar age and used a cleansing routine much like yours for nye on 10...

it should heal over the next few days now. if it's swollen and raised you could try icing it get the the swelling / redness down

Well I know for a fact that gluten and dairy break me out, so I'd say you're pretty wrong there.

still experimenting with my diet to 100 nail down, but it seems gluten and dairy are the main ones for me.
