Help! Acne

I have been gluten free three months. Overall my health has improved. I can actually eat without being in the bathroom twenty minutes later. However, I have suddenly developed acne (which I've never had a problem with before) and dandruff (which I usually only have in the winter).

I've switched to Nature's Gate Shampoo and Conditioner which is supposedly gluten free. That was about two weeks ago, still no improvement on the dandruff.

Does anyone have any recommendation for good gluten free face wash?

Does anyone have any idea why going gluten free would cause me to develop these two issues? I've read a couple places that dairy can cause acne, but I never had the problems before and I haven't changed the amount of dairy in my diet.

Thanks in advance.

I too never had acne unless it was my "time" and then I always had some break-out issues. I have started using Cetraphil and it is working nicely. My sisters dermatologist recommended it and I decided to try it. There are no offending ingredients. I have been using it 1 month now and noticed a change. My break-out regions were the sides of my cheeks- and forehead. My cheeks have cleared completely and my forehead just has the small bumps but no redness, I think I have an oily forehead which is probably the cause.

I bought my face wash at the grocery store....it was almost 10 bucks for the bottle.....but I still have more than half the bottle. Since I have seen a change I am not as depressed on the price.....

As for the dandruff...I am not sure on that part.

Good Luck though, youre not alone!

I have used Cetaphil for years, but it is not helping my current problem. I have had mild acne all my life, and when I went gluten free, it seemed to get better....for a while. Just like my stomach issues, they came back and I realized I had other food issues......dairy and sugar. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the sugar that causes me to break out, but dairy could also be a contributor.

BTW....before I had symptoms of gluten issues, I knew that caffeine made me break out.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
