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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
