Time To Return To Normal?

After the first week of gluten-free I feel better already but...

ever since 2002 I think I've had celiac. At the time my complexion was pretty good and so was my skin. Now my skin and complexion look terrible. It's old, pale, and has a bunch of acne.

Will this go back to normal or is it permanent? And how long should it take?

Your skin is an organ so it will get better. It takes a while though as other things contribute to your complexion. The cold weather where I live plays havoc on my skin. Good luck to you.

From the many posts on skin problems such as acne, I'd say chances are good that your skin will improve. It will probably take some time yet, however, there are some things which you can do to help it along. Various vitamin and mineral supplements, and fatty acids can be very helpful. I think I'd start with a multivitamin, B-complex, omega-3, vitamin D3, and probably some minerals. If you Google skin supplements, you should find some helpful information.

Have you evaluated your toiletries for gluten? If not please do so. Drink lots of water and take the supplement advice. Your skin should improve but it does take a little bit of time.

havent though of my toiletries, thanks.

How much time would you think? I expect months or even years but it's something I'd like to look forward to.

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Same day which is strange to me.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
