Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Hi Phil, Well, my 'teenage acne' lasted until I was 38!! Last year I stopped eating all grains and noticed major improvement in my skin within a couple of weeks. I re-introduced rice to my diet & my skin didn't like it, so I stopped eating it. I think wheat was the main culprit though. My teenage daughter has a definite acne reaction to grains too, eats them anyway (after much anguish) then suffers the consequences. She finds that taking fish liver oil (halibut)capsules helps her skin too. Corn affects her the most. So maybe a week or two without wheat, or all grains (really hard if it makes up a large portion of the diet) and see if it makes a difference. HTH Jewel > Out teenager is suffering from some rather severe acne. I am wondering if others here have used any non-drug approaches for their kids and found any useful? I am wondering about the pasturized milk he drinks and the amount of wheat he consumes in bread. Ideas are appreciated. > > Phil > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yep, grains and sugars are the biggest culprits IMO. That said, basically the closer to a WAPF diet he eats the better.
