Celiac And Now Acne!

I am 13 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost two years ago.  In the last year I have developed some pretty bad acne.  My dermatologist has only tried topical creams because she says that I shouldn't take anything else.  When I'm on antibiotics, my face is much better.  Does anyone know if there is a standard course of treatment for Celiacs who have acne?  I would love any advice you can offer!

In my experience, there's not a whole lot you can do about acne, other than control it with topicals and antibiotics, and slowly weening off of those. I've dealt with acne since I was 15 and after my celiac diagnosis at age 19, not much was different in terms of my regimen and the results.

 

Hang in there, unfortunately it's a part of growing up!

You could try looking at your diet....ie, have a few seeds sprinkled on your cereal... almonds for zinc, pumpkin and sunflower seeds for EFAs and a good b-complex vitamin and warm water with lemon juice.

You can take zinc minerals, it helps to reduce pimples and acne but it doesn't fix definitely. 

 

It is better to test for gluten it might work out and fix acne right at begining

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
