What? Candida. Are you responding to me? Haha I'm confused. In my case its definitely not candida. I'm 100% sure I have celiac disorder.

In your above post you said you had a bad case of blackheads. I also too have delt with a horrible case of blackheads. For some reason, having any type of vegetable oil seemed to have a big influence on the severity of my blackhead - whether it was flax oil, olive, canola (all cold pressed organic) or heated oils. I was thinking that maybe because I am a fast oxidiser of my food (probably why i do so well on a high protein diet), that this might influence my skin. High glycemic foods and too much fruit definitely influence my blackheads as well. I did find when I killed off the systemic candida I had, my blackheads virtually disappeared; although, they would return if I still had any vegetable oil. Actually sorry, i can eat loads of coconut oil; infact, I find coconut oil to actually help fight my blackheads. I remember when I first started using it I had loads of those little white spec parasites come out (and an incredibly itching butt hole, lol), which also helps keep my candida under control, not too mention the energy I get from it is amazing. As far as getting my omega 3's, I find fish oil to work much better for me. I do wish we had krill oil here though so i could try it, I'm sure it would be much better. I used to concern over ratio's but i'm over it now; as long as I'm supplementing with omega 3's, I just listen to my body as far as consuming other fats.

If I eat gluten the reaction is almost instant. *not INSTANT, but within a couple hours, basically once it gets past my stomach thats it*. I don't buy the it takes weeks for Acne to form thing, its not true in my case. I think once I eat gluten the reaction can CONTINUE for weeks, but it starts up right away within the hour or two.

I eat ice cream often with no effect. Just had a bowl. Yum! =)
