The ways of dealing with acne that caused by food intolerance
Food intolerance screening test
In case you have never underwent the food intolerance screening test, it actually can be observed by the food that you repeatedly consume, such as milk, egg, pea, or yeast. If you consume these mentioned food regularly, it might cause food intolerance. Thus, you should consume these mentioned food fewer than you used to and skip it for 3 – 6 months so that your immunity will get better and better.
Consuming vitamins and probiotics, such as yoghurt and brown rice also helps regulate the balances in the intestines.
However, “Acne” is an annoying problem, but if you know the exact cause of the problem, you can handle it. Besides external care, you also need to observe your consuming behaviour because if it is acne that caused by food intolerance or leaky gut syndrome, you can find out what food you are allergic to in order to solve and prevent the future problem so that you will feel more confident with your skin again.
