Hello

My name is Jen and I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease in the first week of feb. 2010 by a bloodtest. I had a biopsy taken last week and I am still waiting the results.

I have a question for anyone that could help. Over the last month or so I have started to get lots of pimples. Everyday my face seems to be getting worse and its not just little pimples it seems to be big sores.Despite any OTC topical creams it doesnt clear up. I was never one to ever have pimples other than right before that time of the month even when I was a teenager. Could this be a result of my drastic diet change? I really hate the way I look and I cant find anything to help.....Please if anyone has had any of these similar issues let me know..... thanks!!! Jen

Wish I could help you there. I am wondering if it is the gluten coming out of system. I know that drugs take a long time and seep out of your pores, so why not gluten as it is a poison to us. I have what looks like acne but doesn't feel like it. It comes out on one side of my chin and one side of my chest. Have noticed this for the last few months and when I get tireder they come out more. Not know if that is the "healing process".

I'm having a similar problem. I saw an old thread on this site that suggested breakouts could be caused by a sensitivity to soy (or corn). I don't think I'm eating any soy, but I haven't checked my vitamins/supplements.

I am one who never suffered from acne in my life before going gluten free. I had two break-outs, one on cheeks and one on my forehead, both times from supplements. The first was a B12 sublingual and I still haven't figured out what bothered me with that, and the second was an anthocyanin supplement. With the B12 it was overnight; with the anthocyanins it built up into an eruption over a period of a week or two. Withdrawal of the offending substances cleared the problem, although the B12 need a kick in the A$$ with an anti-acne medication. I don't know if this has any relevance to what you are experiencing.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
