3. My Diet (Chapter 3)

I am neither scientist nor doctor so I am not going to play a wise guy. I just draw a theory (perhaps scientifically unfounded and unverified) and describe it as simply as possible. For some people, wheat gluten damages the villi in their intestines, causing abnormal absorption of nutrient intake (and thus leading to many diseasesas a result). Have you also discovered that bread wet in water behaves as a "glue mush? In our gut it can persist, causing the formation of candida. In addition, each time the intake of carbohydrates leads to insulin strokes, affecting to some extent on the hormonal balance (one of the reasons of acne). I know that all this sounds very naive, I thought so too ... but not any more.... The final effect passed my all expectetions. People that were close to me stated at the beginning that probably I had gone crazy, but now they are amazed and no longer criticize my new diet. I started gluten-free + low glycemic index food + no dairy & milk diet (though really, in practice, complete elimination of gluten is almost impossible because it is contained in almost the majority of processed products in food processing plants). And so I started with the simplest. I excluded the bread and all derivatives of cereals (oatmeal, pastas, cakes, etc.) from my diet. As a precaution, I also eliminated from my diet milk and milk products (as this is probably also a common allergen). The beginnings were as a nightmare. Bread, gives a feeling of satiety (fills stomach). First period from its elimination was a hard time for me. It was associated with a continuous feeling of hunger and also some weight loss in the initial period appeared. In addition, this type of diet eliminates many other foods that were previously a source of fast and simple food (pastas, etc.). However I think that anyone is able to handle with it. I started to eat more meat, fishes, eggs (generally proteins) vegetables and gluten-free products (pointing out, however, to have rather a low glycemic index fods, which do not cause sudden strokes of insulin). My diet can be called gluten-free + protein + no milk products +carbohydrate (low glycemic index). Is it 100% safe? I do not know, but I use it few years till now (I even eat from time to time some sweets) and I feel good. I also try to drink plenty of water. Please do not forget that our ancestors did not eat bread, but only what they managed to hunt or find in the forest :). The first effects of improvements on my face I noticed after no more than 3 weeks. Blemishes began to heal, and most importantly, a new deep and painful cysts ceased to appear. My face smoothed from month to month, and after about 3.5 months I felt like a new born man (happy as never and with sense of relief). My face still is not 100% perfect (I have some small blackheads), sometimes a single small pimple appears somwhere, but it disappears as quickly as it appears (I have to admit I do not keep the regimen of diet strictly because sometimes it is too hard or just impossible) . I do not give a penny for medicines, cosmetics for face any more. I shave only with an electric razor. In my life occurred definitely a big miracle. I am different man today (have a beautiful girlfriend, I am not ashamed any more when I leave home). I am a happy man thanks to a few people who shared on the Internet the "acne & gluten theory", of which for many months I am an avid supporter. I share my experiences, hoping that maybe someone will avoid the long lasting drama, which I went through ...
I'm absolutely not saying that this method is effective for any type of acne, but when other methods fail ... I think it's worth a try, even for one month. For me, my skin started to improve just after a few weeks:). Of course do not forget to consult your doctor;) I didnt't because i know what would be their reaction ;) I am not going to pay anymore a penny for all this chemical inventions that were ruining my wallet and health :)

  3. I have acne since I was 12 years old and tried almost everthing. About a year ago I started to change my diet... and my skin get better and better. I cut off diary, sweets and sugar and eat almost gluten - free. My skin isn't perfect today, because I'm almost sure it's hormonal acne, but it's way better. I try to create a more healthier lifestyle, with healthy diet and exercise and I hope, someday I can cure this shit :)
    Have a nice day guys, I hope you all get rid of your acne!:)

  4. Thanks! for sharing your experience, sorry but very little English. My story is like yours, now I follow a gluten free diet. Many diseases can be cured through food, for scars is recommended cleaning purifying food for three days, once your organizmo is clean, overnight urine can place their scars, and believe it or not it sounds stupid , your skin will clear up the scars heal. I recommend performing tests on his liver, bilirubin, on cholesterol.

  6. I would like to tell you that you have got lots of patience and also let you know that everyone knows their body well. It's obvious that what you eat will be seen on your face and body. And I liked the way you knew your body and followed your body's responses and reactions. Very useful and informative post.

  9. Thank you so much for this. I have been suffering for a year and have tried everything. I started a sugar, gluten and dairy free diet about 2 weeks ago and out of frustration i have started to let it slip. This morning i considered paying £180 for a dermatologists consultation. But now after reading that it can work with some people i have decided to re-follow the diet and give it more time.
    IT's such a horrible thing to go through emotionally, im glad you have pulled through!

  12. This is a really amazing story. I am always awed at people's stories of battling acne (my girlfriend had severe acne since her teenage years and tried everything on the market to cure it). The absolute only thing that seemed to blast away acne was the Alkaline Water that we started drinking (it combats acidity in the body - naturally, not with pills, medication, or chemicals, which was very important to us). It is the ONLY water you or your loved ones should be drinking (remember how acidity is linked to disease!). Our families have been drinking this water for over 5 years now and we are absolutely amazed by the miracles it has accomplished for us. My grandmother's arthritis is significantly better, my grandmother's acne is gone, my acid reflux is gone, my friend with diabetes no longer needs treatment... this is just a short list of what balancing the pH in your body can accomplish. Be aware, however, that there are lots of scams out there on ionizer machines - you don't want to get anything but the top of the line which is made in Japan and used for over 40 years there. We did a LOT of research before getting ours (if anyone needs info feel free to email me at dan@greenhomesnyc.com or call me at (347) 517-3513) - would love to help anyone out with acne and related issues. Love the blog - thanks for spreading the word on importance of diet and lifestyle!

  13. Wow this was a very touching story. Acne is something me and my friends struggled with so hard over our years. We've tried everything: from going to the doctors, to using Clearasil, etc. Nothing really worked and it tormented us for the long time.

    But like you did, you changed your diet and you saw a lot of good results. I did the same. I had no idea that drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and eating healthier foods would have such a devastating impact on skin care altogether. If you're interested in other foods that help you, check out this article: http://www.healthlisted.com/15-foods-clearer-face/

    I swear this works. It's not magic, it's science really. More the best of luck to you and may you forever be rid of your acne like I am :)
