Low Reaction Acne Diet

Most interesting thing associated with food sensitivities is that many people get addicted to the food that harms them. Most of the people say that they feel good and energized after taking that particular food. It is still unknown how they are linked together, but it is said that proteins, present in that food, may act in a similar way to the body's natural endorphins which results in less pain and give a natural high.

Scientists have created endorphin-like substances from the proteins in wheat, milk, barley and com and have shown that they are associated to the body's endorphins sites. If you think that it happens to you, then think of that food which you can’t resist. You may be sensitive to that food. When you stop eating them, you will feel bad for a few days before feeling better.

It is important to know that food sensitivities are not the main cause of skin problems, but they could be making your skin worse.

You can determine which food allergies you have with the help of a nutritionist or other health practitioner or try my recommendation below.

There are many reasons behind food sensitivities; lack of digestive enzymes, leaky gut, frequent intake of gut irritants (such as chemicals, coffee and alcohol), lowered immunity or an over-proliferation of 'bad' bacteria in the gut.

Food that should be eliminated:

It is necessary to find out which food is the culprit. Once you find out which food is causing you problems, then you can eliminate them or deal with the consequences suspected food.

The suspected food should be eliminated for at least two weeks. From the following list, avoid one food at a time. Wheat products: like bread, most cereals, pasta, pizza, biscuits, muffins, cakes, pastries and pies Diary products: like cheese, yoghurt or from age frais Eggs and egg containing products Cheese, yoghurt or from age frais High acid fruit, orange juice, oranges, tangerines, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries Processed foods which contains preservatives, coloring and artificial flavoring

When you avoid above food or food group, observe your skin condition. After two weeks, reintroduce that food and monitor your skin condition whether that food affects your skin condition. If you feel that your skin is negatively affected then start avoiding that food, otherwise resume eating it. When you have finished with one food group then start next food in the same way.

After avoiding all foods for a month, re-introduce food one by one with five day gap before re-introducing next one. In this way you will find out that which food causes allergy. It is good if you draw a chart when you reintroduce any food. Chart should contain all details regarding dates of starting that particular food and when it shows reactions. If a food shows reaction again then avoid that food at least for another six months. After six months re-test it by eating it again and monitor it again. During that avoidance time you should improve your digestive and immune system to minimize the chances of being sensitive to such foods.

Vegetables except potatoes, tomatoes and sweet corn which are on the 'suspect' list Fruits like melons and cantaloupe Rice, millet, buckwheat and quinoa Oats, rye and barley (some people may allergic to gluten present in it) Fresh meats and fish Beans and lentils (soy may cause allergy to some people)
