If you’ve spent months (or years) cutting out dairy, gluten, sugar, eggs, chocolate, coffee — or anything the internet told you was “bad for acne” — and your skin still isn’t clear …
Because cutting out food groups isn’t just unhelpful …
It’s one of the worst strategies you can use to try to clear acne.
And it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because you’ve been doing it alone — without understanding what’s actually happening inside your gut.
Let’s break down the truth ⬇️
You’ve Been Taught to (Unfairly) Fear Food
If you’re anything like the women I work with, your weeks look like this:
- The Sunday gluten-free pancake meal prep
- The salads in aesthetic glass containers
- The endless scrolling for “acne-safe recipes”
- Switching from oat milk → almond milk → coconut milk → back to oat milk
- Reading labels like you’re decoding a bomb
- Constantly wondering if this ingredient will break you out
Your entire life starts revolving around avoiding the “wrong” foods — and yet …
You still wake up with new breakouts.
You still feel bloated by breakfast.
You still don’t want to leave the house because your makeup is enhancing every bump and texture.
It’s not that you haven’t tried hard enough.
It’s that you’re trying a strategy that was never going to work.
Why Cutting Out Foods Only Helps … Temporarily
Every woman who comes to me says the same thing:
“When I cut out dairy/gluten/sugar, I felt better for a little bit… then my skin got worse again.”
Because food wasn’t the real problem.
Your digestion was.
Here’s what’s actually happening under the surface:
- Low stomach acid
- Low digestive enzymes
- Gut imbalances
- Overgrowths like H. pylori
- Depleted good bacteria
- Sluggish detox pathways
When your stomach acid is low, food doesn’t break down.
It sits.
It ferments.
It causes bloating, gas, inflammation — and yes, breakouts.
So when you cut out the food that’s hardest to digest, you feel better briefly…
But the underlying problem is still there.
And the moment you try to add foods back in?
Your skin freaks out again — not because the food is “bad,” but because your gut can’t handle it.
A Real Client Story: From Restriction to Freedom
When my client J came to me, she had already cut out gluten and dairy because her dermatologist told her “those foods cause acne.”
The problem?
Dairy and beans were a huge part of her cultural foods — family meals, celebrations, comfort foods — and suddenly she felt isolated from the people she loved.
The part she never talked about with her Derm?
She depended on coffee to get through early mornings…
But would end up uncomfortably bloated by 9am.
When we ran her GI-Map, everything clicked:
She had H. pylori — an infection that causes and thrives in low stomach acid → your #1 acne trigger
Her digestive enzymes were low, so she couldn’t break down food without getting bloated
- Her stomach acid was almost nonexistent
- Her immune system inside her gut was depleted
No wonder she was reacting to everything.
We supported her digestion with targeted protocols, improved stomach acid, added enzymes, rebuilt her gut bacteria through real variety — and then something amazing happened:
Because when you fix the gut, the food stops being the enemy.
Misconception #1: “If I cut out the right food, my skin will calm down.”
Temporarily? Maybe.
Long-term? Never.
Your reactions aren’t happening because:
✖ dairy is bad
✖ gluten is bad
✖ eggs are bad
✖ sugar is bad
They’re happening because your digestion is struggling.
Your body isn’t producing enough stomach acid or enzymes to break foods down — so they sit in your gut and cause chaos.
Misconception #2: “If I eat super clean and stop eating out, everything will go away.”
What actually happens?
You eat less variety, you eat fewer nutrients, your gut loses diversity, and your skin becomes even more reactive.
Your body needs:
✔ minerals
✔ fiber
✔ protein variety
✔ diverse carbs
✔ different fats
When you cut those out, you starve your gut — and your immune system — even more.
That’s why women who are dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, and “clean eating” are often the ones still stuck with acn
What’s Really Driving Your Breakouts? The GI-Map Shows the Truth
Here’s what I find in 9 out of 10 GI-Maps:
- H. pylori lowering stomach acid
- Low elastase (digestive enzyme deficiency)
- Low good bacteria
- Low immune function
- Overgrowths of bad bacteria
- Leaky gut patterns
- No Akkermansia (gut lining support)
This is what your gut looks like when you’ve been restricting AND stressed AND on birth control or spironolactone at any point.
No probiotic can fix this.
No elimination diet can fix this.
No TikTok biohacking trend can fix this.
Only a root-cause approach can.
Here’s What Happens When You Fix the Real Root Cause
Once Jay healed her gut…
✨ her digestion stopped hurting
✨ her cravings calmed
✨ she could eat eggs, dairy, and gluten again
✨ her skin stopped freaking out after meals
✨ she became “the friend who can eat anything”
And that’s what I want for you, too.
Because gut healing isn’t just about digestion — it’s about living your life again.
Imagine:
- Going out for sushi without worrying about tomorrow’s breakout
- Eating dinner with your partner instead of making your own “safe” version
- Feeling calm in the grocery store instead of scanning labels like a code-breaker
- Not spending $50 on another supplement hoping it’s the missing piece
Food gets to be food again.
Your skin gets to be calm again.
Your life gets to be yours again.
