Cut dairy out of diet due to acne. Should I also cut out gluten now?!
Question: Cut dairy out of diet due to acne. Should I also cut out gluten now?
So I've had really bad acne for a very long time (5 years), my whole face is completely scarred. It looks horrid. Tried everything from pills, to proactiv and what not. However, recently I discovered the dairy and acne link, so it's been a week and I havn't eaten any dairy. Also, I noticed that when I went on vacation last year, and had no dairy whatsoever my face cleared up, so there's definitely a connection. This time, however, despite cutting out dairy I have not really seen any change in my skin. I know it's been only a week, but there should have been some change right? Should I wait it out for a couple of weeks, or cut gluten out of my diet as well?
Answers:
i'd wait it out awhile, let your body and habits adjust before you start changing too many things. non gluten is a difficult diet to adjust to, and i'm sure cutting all dairy isn't the easiest either. be patient, i'd say a month or 2 and then start working out the gluten. good luck! i hope it works for you!
