I'm trying to figure something out
I have had RH as long as I Can remember, although only diagnosed when I was 30.
I have suffered acne since I was a teen (now 35) and it's been my life's mission to find the cause(it's also ruined my life)
They do not know the reason for my RH and had it since a toddler i guess.
I thought and still do wonder if I have a gluten intolerance as I have a lot of the symptoms. I had the blood test for Coeliac which was negative.
Since following a LCHF diet, cutting out gluten, all other grains and processed food my acne has finally gone (fingers crossed)
However I'm still wondering whether it's the low carb or gluten free that has done this. Unfortunately the two normally go together so when I've eaten out I've eaten both high carb and gluten, my symptoms then return.
I'm wondering if gluten sensitivity could have caused my RH, I've seen it in the huge list of symptoms.
I went out for the works Xmas dinner last weekend and had vegetable soup, turkey dinner(only a few small potatoes) then a raspberry pannacotta, which is obviously higher carb then what id normally eat but also not massively carb heavy.
The next DAY I had a breakout and felt extremely tired, I also had a bit of a belly ache. I have felt rubbish the whole week and 6 days after I had a hypo for the first time in months and also at an unusual time of the day for me. I also had a itchy lump come up on my ear, an itchy neck, runny nose as well as the dark circles under my eyes being noticeably worse.
Can all these symptoms just be down to the higher carbs?
I relate to a lot of things i read about coeliac disease /gluten intolerance but can go no further with the doctors.
There is a few things online linking gluten sensitivity and RH but not a lot.
Has anyone come across anything?
