It was very important for me to find the cause of my acne. I didn’t
want to treat it with medications that could cause side effects and maybe
problems sometime in the future. Most specifically, I was after a solution
to get rid of the breakouts that caused the painful bumps on my back. I
just wanted the spots to disappear. I was afraid that these bumps would
bleed and show through my shirt. It was playing mind games with me.
I probably was overreacting but I had it in my mind to just get the answer so
that I wouldn’t have to think about it anymore.
So what did I find out? This is just one of the parts of the puzzle -
but I found a common food ingredient that caused my breakouts on my shoulders
and back. I wouldn’t have discovered it if it wasn’t for my food diary.
You see, I was so desperate to treat my painful, itchy, spots, that I logged
every food that I ate. I noted any reactions I had with the foods.
So did this food diary cure my breakouts? It certainly reduced it and it
might just be the cure for you.
