It is not wheat and dairy that you have to careful of. You should avoid or cut down on the consumption of spicy food, fried food, chocolates and coffee for a while. I tried it and they disappeared. Try it!!

Many skin disorders can cause blotching and blemishes.\n\nThe most likely is of course acne, but other skin disorders include: Rosacea, Shingles, Psoriasis, Eczema, Fungal Infections and Skin Rashes.\n\nSome irritable plants, or materials which cause allergic reactions can create rashes.  Dry skin can also create skin problems.\n\nMy suggestion would be to see a dermatologist to know for certain what you are trying to treat.  Many skin problems are treated with OTC meds, but some can require a presciption.\n\nCheck out the website below for more information

Hi, personal experience and with all my pleasure I'll pass it to you. I suffer badly even when I got married and had kids, I went to all the doctors and take disgusting antibiotics and horrible creams what burns you skin badly and I was getting worth and worth. Now I had under skin pimples what stays on your face for month and just hurting ...........until \nOne day I was watching the programme on different diets to loose weight and one of them was to give up all the dairy products. So that was my diet I gave up milk cheese yogurts and other yummy dairy products. I couldn't believe my eyes when my pimples start disappearing instead of my weight and it's was all clear after 3 month. My face is pimples free!!! \nThat is allergy reaction on dairy products and I believe that pimples is a allergy reaction to food. \nI know that is hard ( I loved my yogurt and cheese)but if you really want to try - gave up the Dairy. All of it! Just take calcium supplement with vitamin D and be free of Pimples. \nYou can introduce it slowly in the later stage but no necessary if you take calcium.\nBest of luck I hope it will help you.

no, not at all true.\nPrevailing wisdom in the dermatology community is that diet and acne are not related. Of course science is never a 100% reliable enterprise. But at this time, there is no evidence that chocolate, sugar, oil, milk, seafood, or any other food causes acne. Some people absolutely insist that a certain food causes acne for them, or that a specific acne diet works for them. In this case, doctors sometimes recommend that they avoid that food or follow that diet. Regarding chocolate specifically, several studies have been performed, and the answer to "does chocolate cause pimples?" is a resounding "No".

Many people have intolerances to wheat and/or dairy products.  Try completely eliminating dairy for two weeks, and if that doesn't result in a change try eliminating wheat for two weeks.  When you're not eating dairy make sure to take a calcium supplement, and when you're not eating wheat make sure that you eat other whole grains (oats, rye and brown rice, for example).\n\nFood intolerances often result in bloating, so eliminating these foods from your diet could potentially make your stomach flatter.  If it's not about food, you're just going to have to do more cardiovascular exercise (running, swimming, bike riding, boxing, aerobics, etc) to lose fat from all over your body.  Sit-ups and crunches will build your stomach muscles but they won't make your stomach any flatter.  In fact, if the muscles are sitting below a thick layer of fat, these type of exercises will just make your tummy look bigger!

Bang boom knows what he/she's talking about.  There is no proven link between diet and acne in the scientific literature.  Drugs and good hygiene are the answer.

You could have eczema or possibly an allergy from foods, the type of laundry detergent you use, or maybe certain soaps and lotions.

The first goal is to identify whether food allergy is involved. Studies show that nearly ninety percent of people with eczema are allergic to one or more of seven foods: milk, egg, peanut, wheat, cod, catfish, and cashews. Another study found that milk, eggs, and peanuts accounted for roughly eighty-one percent of all cases of eczema. Yet another study found that sixty percent of people with severe eczema had an allergic reaction to one or two foods including eggs, cow's milk, peanut, fish, wheat, or soybean.\n\nTo discover if you have a food allergy, use the elimination diet and challenge method. Keep away from the most common allergens for a period of at least ten days. Also avoid artificial colors and preservatives. Then reintroduce the suspected foods slowly back into the diet. If symptoms return, keep from eating the food for at least a year.\n\nExternally put Vitamin E on your skin.  Use Dr. Bronners Organic Tea Tree Oil liquid soap (make sure to dilute it first)  Use for facial cleansing and cleaning minor cuts and scrapes as well as everyday bathing.  Get this at a health food store.\n  \nIngredients: Water, Saponified Organic Coconut & Olive oils (w/ retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Tea Tree Oil, Citric Acid, Vitamin E

They are common allergens. If you are not allergic to them, then they are fine. Actually gluten sensitivity and milk intolerance are not technically allergies, but the point is that many people do have a bad reaction to these foods. The majority, however, can eat both with no trouble. You should learn to notice how your body reacts to different foods and avoid the ones that give you trouble. Other problem foods can be peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, tomatoes, or almost any other food. Eat what agrees with YOU.

A lot of women with Endo have food intolerances and allergies they weren't even aware of.  Wheat and dairy are biggies.  By eliminating them from the diet, many find that in particular their bowel symptoms (so common in Endo) disappear or alleviate significantly.  It is thought that gluten negatively affects the gut flora and membranes in food sensitive people and causes painful inflammation and symptoms.  Sometimes the foods can also set off the body's IgC over-reaction to a perceived "foreign substance," thereby creating pain and symptoms.  Dian Shepperson Mills has done a fantastic book on this, Endometriosis: a Key to Healing Through Nutrition - get it used or at the library; it is WELL worth it and really goes into some indepth explanations and food avoidance recommendations.

I personally don't but my sister has Coeliacs, which is a gluten intolerence, and if she eats gluten then it builds up in her system and could cause infertility or cancer (apparently!) So she has to eat gluten free products. \n\nI believe you can also have a gluten intolerence, much like a wheat intolerence, where you are simply allergic to it.

maybe you are allergic (the washing powder, your after shave, soap or something)

food can be an issue! greasy foods such as pizza and fries-things like that. it boosts the oil in your skin that builds up and causes acne. alot of things can trigger acne. i know because i had it myself. washing your face to much signals the body that you are running low on oil, so then you get more! you don't want to wash your face more than twice a day! none of my family had acne either. what happens is the oil in your pores builds up and causes a plug. then your skin swells up and becomes red and sore. i would recomend a medication like proactive or acne free! i use proactive and i works like a charm... i used to have bad acne but now you can't see one blemish!

It depends.... you could have had an allergic reaction to something you ate (next time you get try and remember what you ate) or it could be an allergic reaction to the sun ...It could also be an allergic reaction to anything... or bodies are weird and sometimes things that we use on a daily basis that have never given us any probelms will give us an allergic reaction.

Talk to an immunologist or dietitian. I am a dietetics student and... wait I am reading your post in its entirety.\n\nIt seems like total horseshit. The chances of being allergic to one food in an adult is 1 in 50. \n\nThere is no scientific research that food sensitivities exist to anything but msg, sulfites, and dairy products.\nGet tested an IgE allergy test from your doctor, and then explain your situation.

Diet and Acne, Truth And Myths About Foods\n\nScientists have not found a connection between specific foods and acne. The common train of thought "chocolate causes acne" is a myth. There is no scientific link between sugary and greasy foods and pimples, however, it is very important to maintain a healthy diet. The Journal of the American Medical Association recognized, "Diet plays no role in acne treatment in most patients…even large amounts of certain foods have not clinically exacerbated acne." \n\nThere are several nutrients found in foods that promote an overall healthy body. When the body is obtaining these nutrients, it will reflect in the person's overall well being and appearance. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, "A healthy diet is important for improving raw materials for healthy skin." The skin is the largest organ of the body and just like all the other organs, the proper nutrients should be provided for optimal health. \n\nVitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, that helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucous membrane that function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses. The Vitamin A produced by plants is known as beta-carotene usually found in yellow/orange fruits and dark green vegetables. Keep in mind high doses of Vitamin A can be toxic, so control your consumption.  \nTypes of Pimples / Acne: \n•Pimples\n•Adults With Skin Blemishes\n•Teenage Acne\n•Hormonal Acne\n•Back Acne \n\nAdditional Pimples / Acne Info: \n•Acne Medications\n•Proactive Acne Treatment\n•Acne Diet \n\nVäxa's Product Mentioned In This Article: \n•Clearin  \nDiet and Acne Sources of Vitamin A \nCarrots\n\nYams\n\nApricots\n\nCantaloupe \n Tomatoes\n\nSpinach\n\nKale\n\nParsley \n \nStress has been known to aggravate existing cases of acne.

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced from sources like air radiation, pollution, and peroxides. They are also potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism that can lead to many diseases.\n\nDiet and Acne Sources of Vitamin E \nAlmonds\n\nPeanuts\n\nSunflower Seeds \n Broccoli\n\nWheat Germ\n\nVegetable Oil \n \nZinc is another antioxidant that helps boost the immune system, which reflects in the skin. \n\nDiet and Acne Sources of Zinc (Antioxidant) \nEggs\n\nWhole Grains \n Nuts\n\nMushrooms \n \n \nAcne varies among individuals so consider keeping a food diary. There may be certain foods that could cause flares ups in some but not in others. Those foods should be avoided.
