Aesthetic Improvements After Going Gluten-Free?

I was diagnosed with celiac around a month ago and been on the gluten free diet ever since. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed significant aesthetic improvements to their face regarding skin etc. For me personally, I have always had poor, sensative and quite pale skin. Since being on the gluten free diet, my skin has completely changed, acne has become seldom and I have gained a great deal of colour to my skin tone. I have also always been someone with what I would describe as a “puffy” Face- Big, fat, almost swollen looking in the areas around my cheeks and eyes (despite having an extremely skinny body). Since being on the diet my face has slimmed down significantly, and looks more even and symmetrical. Was just wondering if anyone else has had any similar stories that they could share?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that is systemic and inflammatory.    It can impact literally any body system, including skin.   By being able to better absorb nutrients and probably making healthier food choices, your face is looking better!  Not unusual at all!

Yep, little things, like always having those pimples, (I got them on my back also), swollen looks (I had it full body). You will probably notice a bunch of little things and quirks you used to take for granted about your body change for the better.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain
