Celiac, lactose intolerance and acne
-
Hi, first time posting, i wanted to share my gf situation and maybe gain some insights on how to better treat the problems shes having (they are nothing serious).
She follows a fairly clean diet consisting mainly of meats, eggs, rice, fruits and some vegetables, but its low on dairy and probably sugar.
Shes been dealing with acne even past her teenage years and doesn't seem to improve as time goes by. This is probably linked to a gut problem, which I believe is the root cause
Also she had a mild gluten allergy from birth, but things got worse when a "dietitian" recommended her to eat lots of grain that contained starches. I believe this developed a gut problem ranging from the small intestine or colon.
She now tries to avoid starches, but the damage is already done.I believe this problem also caused her lactose intolerance, which wasn't the case before. Ive read an article with Dinkov talking about acne and he suggested the raw carrot salad with coconut oil or using activated charcoal with it. What other remidies should I be aware of?
Thanks in advance, have a great day

Hi @Lollocorra,
there was a recent thread about acne here: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/3987/peating-vs-acne?_=1743678467834
I would recommend red light, foods with Vitamin A (liver) and zinc (oysters), for topical help maybe some niacinamide serum.
Has she checked her thyroid function (temperature, pulse, blood levels)? Problem with digestion, small intestine etc. can indicate low thyroid function.
You said she already tries to avoid starches. I think it would be best to have only well-digested carbs for a while. What people digest well is somewhat individual, but ripe fruit, fruit juice and honey are digested well by most people. That should also help with the acne. The acne and her digestive problems could very well be related. For many people their acne clears up (or at least improves significantly) with a carnivore/low carb diet. I think you can mimic the same benefits with easily digested sugars like that as your carb sources, while avoiding to bad medium to long term effects of low carb.
The carrot salad Georgi mentioned should be a good remedy for all her problems.

Hi @Luke, appreciate your recommendations!
Now that I think about she never mentioned eating liver and will probably introduce that in her diet once a week. As far as oysters go I have a problem finding them near me, even canned ones, (I live in north italy) and will probably just stick to liver.
She mentioned niacinamide for her skin, but evidently didn't help too much, I bought her tallow, but I believe the problem lies deeper in the digestive system.
She also said her thyroid exam came in great, but I'll have to check on the values because they are very different from what they were now. Will have to take a look at the perfect temperature and pulse for thyroid health.
Yes, she eats fruits and honey for carbs and avoids complex carbs. Infact she probably already follows a type of low carb carnivore diet. I believe she should up the dose of easily digested carbs because she's eating lots of meat on the side.
