Gluten Free And Breaking Out?

I have only recently become gluten free (as in the last 9 days, yes I'm counting) however it seems as if my skin is starting to break out more now. Is this perhaps due to getting it out of my system? Did anyone else notice this?

Hi

I actually had the same thing. went gluten free in March and my skin started breakign out. i waited a couple of months but it didnt really get better. i went to the derma and got some cream and now its fine. maybe its a detox thing or at least thats what i thought it was. maybe pick up some stuff for it. i got retin a to put on at night and its been great.

If you're acne doesn't improve within 3 months of gluten-free dieting, then chances are something else is causing it. For some it's milk, for some it's sugar (which usually isn't the case, more like a noceblo effect), and others it's soy.

Just try it out and see what's best.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
