Acne and Food Allergies - Does Food Make a Difference?

Acne and Food Allergies - Does Food Make a Difference?

recent studies are proving otherwise.

Often the body accumulates too many toxins. The toxins cause lesions or
inflammation to occur on the surface of the skin. The body is trying to rid itself of the
toxins through the skin. This is one of the root causes of acne. Yes, there are other
causes such as genetics and other issues; but we tend to forget about the food we
eat because it takes a long time for the symptoms to show.

First inflammation in the skin will form which causes the pores to clog; then redness
and soreness. The best treatment is obviously to remove the offending toxin from
the body. Some doctors have prescribed antibiotics to help clean them out. But the
antibiotic regimen is not very effective while you are still eating the same foods that
caused the toxin in the first place.

To really determine which foods you might be allergic to, you will need to see your
doctor so he can order a blood test to be done to look for antibodies for the food
you suspect. Generally, dairy products end up being one of the biggest culprits. There
are other foods as well, such as spicy and/or oily foods. Chocolate is believed by
many to also be a source of allergies.

Though science has yet to come to a conclusion about the acne and food allergies
connection, There is no doubt in "real life", there is a connection. The simple blood
tests can identify the foods and then all you have to do is avoid those foods. Some
people who have had severe acne problems, have cleared up in just two weeks after
eliminating the offending foods from their diets.

Once you have identified the foods that cause the allergies, make a chart of the food.
Then if you do have a flare up, you can review the chart to make sure you have not
mistakenly included any of those foods in your diet. If you are careful, you can be
acne free in a relatively short time.
