No I don't get a puffy face. I'm really interested in this gluten and allergy connection to skin conditions. My doc told me that I have low stomach acid and I've been reading that people who have celiacs or are gluten intolerant have similar issues to those who have low stomach acid. Like skin issues and reaction to foods like gluten. People who start taking hcl seem to have success in having less reactions. Just thought that was interesting. Do you have celiacs?
