I have had chronic Acne since I was a teenager which I managed to treat with a combination of doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide. After stopping the Antibiotic and the face cream I managed to successfully treat my Acne with a healthy food diet and removing dairy from my diet. However I came to discover that I had Seborrheic Dermatitis on my face, scalp and ears which still gives me blocked pores (and thus acne) in my forehead and around my nose and beard.
Taking advice from the internet I'm starting a programme of eliminating food, increasing probiotics and eating a cleansing diet. As a vegetarian it is harder for me to cut out foods but I will be trying.
The foods I am removing (or have already removed from my diet):
Dairy
Wheat (incl. all gluten)
Corn
Refined Sugar
Yeast
Seafood
Citrus Fruits
Peanuts
Night Shades (Tomatoes, Peppers, Potatoes and Eggplants)
sulfites ( Wine and Chocolate )
Caffeine
Processed Food
Alcohol
Allergen foods I will be continuing to eat but will be keeping an eye on:
Tree Nuts (I regularly consume almonds and cashews)
Soy
Eggs
Alongside this new diet I will be taking the following supplements:
2 forms of probiotics (PB8 and
Zinc
Fermented Cod Liver Oil
Berberine
I will also be consuming food probiotics:
Water Kefir
Saurkraut
I am also treating my seb derm with increased time in the sun, washing morning and night with raw honey and tap water and the occasional raw honey mask plus organic excellence shampoo
My day to day meal plan is:
porridge with raw honey, coconut oil, nut butter and berries
lunch - leafy green salad with eggs or nuts
dinner - cooked vegan meal, gluten free pasta, grilled veg etc
I will posting updates regularly in the form of a diary. Any advice would be appreicated

This is a reply to # 2,250,973So, any change in your symptoms on this new diet?
If the diet is the right one, you should be able to see some positive change, some improvement.
If there is absolutely no improvement, you should re-think your diet. Maybe something you are still eating is your main trigger.

This is a reply to # 2,251,591Update DAY 5: derm either side of my nose is all but gone. Derm and Acne on forehead has calmed, still some blocked pores there but I've seen a great deal of improvement. My initial Acne breakout from a night of heavy drinking has subsided and my bowel movements have become a lot more consistent (sorry if this is a TMI but a lot more solid). I've been a lot, lot more bloated and gassy - I put it down to going from about 20 billion probiotics to 65+ billion probiotics plus fermented probiotics (kefir, kimchi and miso) a day. I'm hopeful that this change in symptoms is going to continue and I put t down to the large amount of sun we've had recently, extra probiotics and elimination diet. Going to be starting fermented cod liver oil and berberine shortly. Continuing to do raw honey face and scalp masks a bit more frequently and with added in natural neem shampoo - just water wasn't enough to fully wash out the honey in my thick hair sadly.
Update: had a very loose bowel movement earlier and been feel like my forehead is quite inflamed although not visible Acne eruptions/derm flare

This is a reply to # 2,251,906You are on the right road.
make sure you stay far away from any processed foods, and any foods with preservatives , food additives , citric acid , sulfites , sorbates , benzoaes, sugar, emulgators, corn syrup, etc.
You should research also the next therapies:
- Liver Flush ;
- Fecal Transplant ;
both helps with the same problem.

This is a reply to # 2,251,913Thanks for the advice! I think I'd like to do a liver flush. Although a Fecal Transplant sounds like a great idea chances are I couldn't afford it.
Had a few days of Seb derm flare and inflammation on my forehead. At least three small but visibly inflamed spots. Not a return to the seb derm and Acne I had at the beginning of the Elimination Diet but definitely a step backward after a promising start. Interestingly once again the inflammation seems very connected to my gut - still experiencing loose stools and bloating/gas, feel at this point it's a been too long to still be experiencing kick back from upping the probiotics but we will just have to see if things calm down.
The diet has taken a tumble the past few days too. Been struggling to eliminate night shades and citrus fruits - too much lemon juice in the recipes I usually cook and tomatoes are too damn fresh right now. Thinking of temporarily putting them back in and removing SOY instead - no more miso, tamari seems like a glum prospect though. I'm hoping things will improve enough without having to give it up.
Will report back in a few days- Re: LF and FMT Benny7983

This is a reply to # 2,252,296DAY 10 of Elimination Diet with increased Probiotics
Today I start Berberine-500 - two, twice a day
and Fermented Cod Liver Oil with Butter Oil - twice a day
Having done some more research into what might be causing my upset stomach/acne/sebhorreic dermatitis I have a feeling I have some kind of SIBO/Yeast overgrowth. That would easily be explained by my diet over the past 22 years and by my years of heavy Antibiotic use. I'm confident that Berberine use is going to make some positive changes.
Currently my Elimination Diet has shifted a bit, to become a bit more manageable. I'm not NOT eating:
Dairy
Wheat (incl. all gluten)
Corn
Refined Sugar
Yeast
Seafood
Peanuts
sulfites ( Wine and Chocolate )
Caffeine (apart from Green tea)
Processed Food
Alcohol
Soy (Apart from fermented Soy/Miso)
I am limiting the amount of
Eggs and Citrus Fruits I consume.
I will now be continuing to eat Nightshades (something that as a Vegetarian I've found v difficult to eliminate, whilst limiting potatoes).
Right now I've had a bit of a breakout of spots and seb derm on my forehead - about 3 spots and a lot, lot of blocked pores - Its been hot and I expect it's from the sweating.- Any improvement? White Shark 9 y 5,219

This is a reply to # 2,252,775White shark was right, you should try to get info on faecal transfer, thos how legal and available it is depends on where you are in the world. Here in Australia, it's unregulated. As a vegetarian you are more likely to have dysbiosis. Not overgrowth, but the pathogenic fungal form of the commensal yeast Candida.
