Is Newly Formed Acne From Diet Change?

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.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
