I've been gluten free for about three weeks now and all of a sudden my skin is breaking out like crazy. I look like a teenager. Did anyone else have this happen when they went gluten free?

I believe you may be detoxifying through your skin, now that you have stopped eating a food that is poison to you. Hopefully it will clear up soon.

Yes. Anytime I have taken out an item for a diet test, I have had a break out if I was sensitive to it.

I agree with Ursa that this is most likely the case for you.

Incidently, I get this on a smaller scale when I'm accidently glutened--I get a breakout on my chin and cheek (one on each)--in the same place every time!

my acne picked up too now that I'm gluten-free - mild, but noticable :( .

good point on the it could be from getting glutened - we'll see, as I'm in the midst of a 3-week plain, whole food diet (partly delayed New Year's detox on the spouse's part), which should avoid the accidental glutenings (I can almost handle restaurants now, but :angry: catered events I've vowed to eat first or eat my own food, cc from other diners is way too common in my unfortunate experience)

my theory was, if my immune system is healthier without all the gluten to deal with, maybe it has more energy to spend on acne - but that is not scientific at all :P

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
