Breaking out badly and feeling worse after going gluten-free

I'm on week three of going gluten free and I've started breaking out horribly and my Insomnia and fatigue are much worse. I don't have celiac, just a gluten intolerance and leaky gut, and since cutting out gluten, milk, corn, soy, and most night shades my stomach pain every time I eat has gone away. I've been scanning the boards here, and it seems like fatigue is sometime that sometimes takes people longer to heal then other symptoms, but I haven't seen much about acne. My worry is what if this isn't a detox, but maybe I'm missing something else? Does anyone have any insight?

Maybe you are eating foods you didn't eat as much of before?

My diet manly consisted before of bagels and chocolate, constantly junk food and fast food, I had a horrible diet and my skin looked great. Now I definitely  eating some foods more now, more meat, veggies, fruits, dried fruits, nuts. Most of the things I eat I had someone muscle test me to see if it reacts well with me. My diet is so much healthier now. I'm eating some cheese, but not a ton.

You might want to just eat what makes you feel good.  There is no real scientific evidence that a " muscle test" tells you what foods to eat.

Anytime you drastically alter your diet, it can take a while for your body to figure it all out.

I broke out for a while after going gluten free.  It was probably the shock to my system.  Eventually my skin cleared up, better than it was before going gluten free.  I've been gluten free for nine months now and I would say it took two to three months for the skin issues to resolve.

i am still avoiding iodine.  and if i eat fish or shellfish, my scalp will break out (i'm assuming because of the ioding)  the same places every time.  takes about a week to clear.  

keep a food journal.  it's tedious, but the best way to figure out what's causing your discomfort.  good luck!

Everyone has different symptoms and lengths of time it takes to heal. If you're only a month or so in it could still take a while for all the symptoms to go away while your digestive system heals and your body adjusts to the changes. It should get better with time. It took months for my symptoms to go away completely

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
