Re: PMS and acne

Thank you for your help. I too work in health care and I have read multiple studies about birth control that have lead me to stay away from birth control pills. My doctor also has told me that I have low levels of Progeterone and that is also why I suffer not only from hormonal acne, but severe cramps and bloating, etc.

I feel like I eat a very healthy diet, as I work in the field of nutrition, but what foods specifically would you suggest staying away from?

I tried the Yerba Mate and I feel that it has helped a bit, even though I know it really has no control over hormonal imbalances. It has been a week after my period and I have not had anymore breakouts.

I think this is just a constant struggle with me........
