My version was less dramatic
I was 18 when I was diagnosed with celiac, and of course had acne, though
not badly. Through college I not only "cheated," but was ill informed on
the hidden glutens of the world. When I was 22 I went wholly GF. (It
wasn't until then that I found out about malt flavoring! Bye bye Frosted
Flakes) I'm 24 now.
I had mild but persistent acne all the way up until I went seriously GF.
I always kindof thought it was lasting a bit longer than these things
usually do. In my case, though, the correlation between a GF diet and
clearer skin was too strong to ignore.
GF is the way to live - and there are many more reasons than just the
stomach.
