Acne On Jawline

I doubt this is related to celiac disease directly but I wonder if it is autoimmune related, so I thought I'd post it here.

 

I have jawline acne that is driving me nuts. I almost always have at least one or two zits there and they range in size from small whiteheads to volcanoes that can cast a shadow. I have had it for about 5 years or so, maybe more but probably not less.  I know it was present when I went gluten-free almost 3 years ago because I started taking a topical medication for it.  It was present, I think, when I started taking meds for hypothyroidism (synthroid at first) too.

 

I've read that jawline acne is often hormonal... then how do I get rid of it?  I'm getting a bunch of scars on my chin that I could do without, and I would like this to be done. It is possible I am in perimenopause but I have no obvious symptoms, and my periods have never been so regular as they have been since going gluten-free.

 

Has anyone treated this successfully, and if so, how?

...Sometimes I think it would have been so much simpler if I was born a man.   :rolleyes:

I hear you on that! I started my period a month before I turned 12 and they've always been awful...and are getting worse. I do think I'm in perimenopause and I do think that there is a hormonal component to my breakouts. Really interested to see what others say.

I was having a horrible breakout chin line around my mouth and eyebrows.  After going to a dermatologist and getting put on antibiotics (that were killing my stomach) I read on-line "this breakout can indicate a ZINC defiency .  I started taking a multi-vitamin and drinking more water (stopped the antibiotic) ~ voila the breakout stopped.

 

I do struggle with this breakout during winter more than warm weather months so there could also be a vitamin D issue too.  I haven't found any literature directly relating vitamin D to the breakout.  Do try and include "healthy fats" like those in avocado to your diet to help your skin too.

 

Also take time to disinfect your phone.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
