Food Allergy to Gluten - Acne a Result?
by J Jones
Since the body treats the gluten as a harmful substance it does all it can to get rid of
it. This includes increased production of sebum (oil). The excess production of sebum
blocks your pores, causes inflammation resulting in an acne break out.
If you have a food allergy to gluten then following a gluten free diet may be all you
need to do to clear your acne. It may seem difficult to follow such a diet at first
because grains, which contain gluten, are common in foods such as bread, pasta and
cereal.
Food allergies can go undetected for a long time so you may not know if you are
allergic to gluten or have any other allergies. If you have acne it's best to seek
medical advice about food allergies sooner rather than later. That way you can rule
them out and concentrate on finding the real culprit that's causing your acne. Many
people also assume they'd know it they had an allergy but sometimes people don't
have many symptoms other than acne.
