Bad skin AFTER lost weight & tummy trouble

[AbzLass]

Ok, from what I have been told eating more healthily and losing weight should have helped my skin etc, but it seems to have the opposite effect.

One suggestion is that the toxins were just being trapped in the fat before and not actually IN my skin and then getting whisked away, but now ther is less fat the toxin to body ratio is higher and they need to go somewhere!
It is REALLY bad if I have protein...........anything but eggs and meat especially. I have tried going 'vegan' for around a month and that didnt help, just made me a moody cow who fell asleep and farted a lot .

I really want to et back into working with weights (I was really into this when I was younger), and I know I am going to need protein to have any effect - but I also dont want to look like a zit freak!

Its NOT acne as the doctor says its "not the right kind of pustule" :-X

Also, I am eating less, but my stomach seems to have totally slowed down even WITH lots of fruit! I also take Lepicol once a day yet I always feel like I have lead moving through my tummy , and its uncomfortable!! Could it be IBS? I always thought that mean it was like having the squits all the time??

Anyway..................had anyone else had this problem?

i had suspected ibs for a while but we found out that it was actually dairy intolerance. maybe you should have yourself checked out for food allergies.

If your doctor is sure it's not acne, what does he say it is? He should be able to give you something to put on your face, especially if he thinks it might be bacterial. What are you using to wash your face?

As for the bowel issues... I'd talk to the doctor about that, too.

Hi AbzLass,
I agree with Sophie about the allergy test and txturtlegirl about asking your doctor some questions.
As for ibs, my friend has the ibs that leaves her constipated..She has to really watch her diet. (ive never asked her what she does in this area) I just know she is always drinking lots of water and talks about eating a balanced diet. I know when she has junk she suffers badly.
I hope you can find out some answers so you are not feeling so icky.
