I love cooking, baking, and most of all, eating.
Unfortunately, I also have a very sensitive digestive system and have to be careful about what I eat.
So I’ve made some dietary changes over the years to get my body back to optimal health.
Among those trigger foods?

So if it’s possible for you to tolerate gluten, by all means!
It certainly did for me.
Perhaps try anelimination diet, like I did, to help you identify any potential trigger foods.

The bottom line?
When it comes to skin care, internal measures are just as important as topicalsI learned that first-hand.
