Acne caused by food allergies?


It has been brought to my attention lately that I may be experiencing acne due to severe food allergies, rather than the common causes such as adolesence or hormones or dirty skin (all of which I ruled out myself years ago).
So I'm curious, had anyone else had food allergies that cause acne? If so, what was your allergy? Were you able to eliminate the acne by cutting certain foods out of your diet? How long did it take? Did you have to cut the foods out completly, or did just cutting back on the foods work? Sorry, I know that's a lot of questions, but if you can answer them all it's a happy 10 points for you?
Also, please no "chocolate causes acne" or "greasy food" or "you need more water" answers. I'm looking for people with a serious food allergy (for example, dairy or wheat) who had their acne problems solved by cutting food out of their diet. Not something you heard from you 7th grade classmate. Thanks!

If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Yes allergies to certain foods can cause acne and a bunch of other problems too. You just have to sort out what foods are a problem to you and cut them out of your diet. Sometimes its not the foods but the additives. Such as MSG, and in meats its the hormones or antibiotics the animal gets while alive that has traces of it in the meat. So I no longer eat chicken or beef. Its a time consuming thing. You can go to the allergist and be tested. I have been twice and beef was one that I was allergic too. Plus all kids of pollen. Allergies are like a cup of water each time you are expose to something you are allergic to it adds a little more water to the cup and then its the last exposure that over flows the cup and triggers the allergy problem be it acne or hives, or itching. Good luck.
Yes chocolate and peanut butter are on the list of some peoples allergies.

Isn't it awful? You hear so much about what causes acne and what doesn't. I think acne is caused by different reasons, depending on the the person. I do believe that certain foods cause acne for some people. The problem is, I haven't been able to determine what foods do and don't cause a flareup for me. The problem is you don't know how long it takes to cause it, could take a couple days or even a week. I have stopped drinking milk at all. I think all the hormones and crap that is in it is awful for your body and skin. Good luck in your pursuit. I finally went and seen a dermatologist. It was definitely the best thing I've done.

food is the key and the answer for your situation. Read the
testimonials on my page for Allergies.

Be careful with your diagnosis...

Have heard of rare, isolated cases of food sensitivity (not a true "allergy") causing Roseacea (an acne-like skin condition). No personal experience.

Peanut Butter made my chin breakout with acne.

i have severe and my severe i mean all of my shirt are red bloodly from all the acne on my back chest and arms breaking out! it truned out to be milk which i drank two glasses a day!
so now its been a month and i have not tasted milk (well except this one time i drank it and the next i got 6 acne spots on my back)! so it have gone down the new break outs are oncein week or so but the scars are very very visible. choclete and pizza don't do anything i have ate pizza every day(because of the cheese which has some calcium for me to substitute it for milk) and my acne has been slowly but visibly decreasing.

i have this problem too..i notice that I'll have acne or redness after eating spicy food especially raw chillies. i do get tiny spots kind like pimple but its not hurting..one of my friend said her acne caused by poultry and all the milk stuffs..so she now drinks only soy milk..and her face slowly getting better
