Acne, Dark Circles, Dull Skin- Gone!

I have been gluten free just shy of two months. Other than that lovely PMS time of the month, I noticed after about a month of being gluten-free that my skin texture/tone/etc. was improving. I was vaguely aware of this at first, but one morning I looked in the mirror and was just giddy by what I saw. I have had acne trouble most of my life. I have looked more and more sickly with dark circles, lines and dullness of my skin for the past couple of years (I'm only 31!). The acne is GONE. The dark circles- GONE. I sound like some sort of silly commercial for a 'look younger, feel better!' bogus infomercial product, but I'm in Aww. In general I am feeling better and better, but I'm wondering- has anyone else been surprised by this cool side effect? :)

My daughter's acne has been getting so much better gluten free but it flares up if she gets cross contaminated. Also, the brown spots on her chest/neck area are finally fading.

Not surprising at all. I was told by my son that I was aging backwards. Always nice to hear. Glad things are going well for you and thanks for sharing the good news.

I must say I am very pleased. ;)

Like many have said, there seem to be so many symptoms that I didn't even realize were symptoms- just seemed to be a part of everyday life, until they were gone... Now to try to gain some weight back!

I've been gluten free for a month and everyone keeps commenting that my skin looks amazing... I've had acne since I was twelve and I haven't had any more spots appear in the last two weeks or so. :) I never would have guessed that it would fix my acne along with everything else, but I'm certainly not complaining !!

YEs, my daughter's dark circles are slowly fading away and her skin looks better. More color, not so pale.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
