Thank you so much for your post. My 21-year-old step-son has battled with the same acne problems for years. I shared with him (years ago) how dairy is linked to acne, especially in teenage males. I kindly suggested he remove all dairy from his diet for just one month. His reply was, "I'd rather put a stake through my heart.". What a shame. He is still taking ridiculously strong prescription drugs in an attempt to control his acne. But, until he has had enough, he will continue to struggle.

I'm thrilled for you that you not only made the connection, but also had the maturity and tenacity to follow through with your diet changes.

Great leadership on your part!

It really is amazing how diet effects us!! Now if I could just find out my sure~fire triggers! :rolleyes: lol I don't eat dairy, fats, animals, or wheat or oats!!! But sometimes I think pineapple, tomatoes, and maybe even others cause lil skin problems.. Is that possible? I know I break out from bananas :cry: Do you find you are allergic to certain fruits or veggies too??? Just curious?? :shock:

Thanks for sharing this. I am always babbling on and on about my bad skin. I bet you heard me talk about it before. I have been strggling with my skin for 20 years. The only time it was really clear was when I was on Tazorac in my mid-20s. I had to come off of it due to pregnancy. I am trying to control it with diet and I am having a hard time. I do notice that dairy is a huge culprit. Again, thanks for sharing!
