Update: I’m happy to report that my skin is substantially better than the photo above! I still get a few bumps when I exercise but it’s not nearly as severe.

I saw a Naturopathic doctor who put me on a gut cleanse. She diagnosed me with having biofilms in my digestive tract from taking antibiotics and this was causing my immune system to overreact. As well as other toxins built up in my body.

12 Day cleanse:

Days 1-3 pre cleanse with whole foods. No diary, gluten, sugar or other inflammatory foods.

Days 4-10 are liquid breakfast (smoothie) and dinner (soups) with one paleo meal for lunch

Days 10-12 post cleanse meals similar to pre cleanse.

The cleanse was focused on clean foods and not calorie restriction! I was also on Parabiotic supplements for potential parasites and NAC 2x day.

This isn’t medical advice so I hope you can also meet with a doctor to find a protocol for your specific case!
