Acne After Going Gluten Free?


GF-30

Recommended Posts

GF-30 Newbie

It is an unusual question - as most of the discussions  I have read are around "acne" clearing up once you go gluten free. 

 

 

I was diagnosed with Celiac in July, and since then I have been gluten free. Major change in my diet includes having Sorghum/Millet regularly along with rice instead of wheat. Since the change, i have started having these acne - which i had never had before in my 30 years! My skin feels oily (which was dry before) and these red acne pop up across my face, shoulders, back 

Has anyone else faced this? Any reason why going gluten free (and Lactose free) are leading to these?

Maybe it's a reaction to something new you are eating?

Kareng, that is what I am trying to figure out, but dont have an answer. I started eating lots of nuts, which i thought were causing this. And now for the past 2 weeks, i havent had any. But these acne are coming even faster. Like I mentioned before, another major change is eating Sorghum and Millet flour - can they cause acne? Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

I developed back acne in the past couple of years since going gluten-free BUT I started thyroid treatment at the same time so I'm guessing it is related to that and not to being gluten-free.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
