    Thumbs up Found the solution to my acne problem

    I stopped eating nuts! Yup, nuts was the cause of my bad break outs.

    I would snack on a bag full of mixed nuts/cashews everyday at work when I got hungry. Plus I wanted to add that into my diet bc it was more of a protein consumption. So anyway I went to the Dermatologist & he prescribed to me some antibotics to help calm the breakouts, it wasn't working. And usually the antibotics he gives me work. So someone suggested for me to stop eating nuts to see if my acne would stop & it did! So glad, that had me stressing. I've never seen my face with such a bad break out before. So getting clear now.

    *Sigh* i'm really gonna miss eating nuts everyday now.

    Wow, that's really interesting. Was he able to explain why the nuts were causing your breakouts? (An allergy or something?)

    Semi-unrelated, but I was able to conqueor my skin too! I started using Olay products, and oh my god they've made my skin beautiful! I'll buy anything that says "Olay" on it now

    My big problem is touching my face. I never had any zits til I started dancing....seriously not even during puberty. I bought myself some hand sanitizer and made a conscious effort to NEVER touch my face...(dirty money) and they went away...thank god.

    I eat alot of nuts too- for protein and easy to take to work. From what you said I'm going to cut down now. I also think drinking too much alcohol is bad for acne.

    The same thing happened to me. Only, it was just peanuts. It's really weird. I eat almonds, cashews and walnuts all the time.



    Cheers,

    Eliminating bread from my diet did it for me; absence of latent yeasts reduced bacteria count in my skin.

    Everyone's skin reacts differently to certain foods.

    Peanuts and cashews are not technically nuts, they're legumes ( I know that makes no sense, but it's true!). They are both known acne triggers. You may still be OK eating almonds, walnuts, pecans...

    Yeah I read that somewhere. They okayed it for me to eat unsalted sunflower seeds too. I like those too.

    Yes. For some people it probably is. Funny thing, i can eat a snickers bar fine, but can't eat any nuts alone..? My lips will swell a tad and my throat will feel kinda tight for a few hours. Now on products that contain trace amounts of nuts, or a machine that has made a product that contained nuts is usually stated on the package of a product you buy. I find this great news!

    Even to kiss a person who just ate nuts can set one off. Wow, scary. Wierd, as a child i could eat Almonds, today..Nope. Reactions can happen in the strangest ways, and we may not even know at that time.
