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.

      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

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
