Can anyone help me out here since changing from a meat eater to a Vegetarian am having a lot of bad time of greasy skin especial my face, can this be anything to do with this although am getting Fewer batches of acme/zits, which was caused by dairy products.

It might be your body's way of telling you you are an omnivore and need all the food groups

Eat a little of everything and not too much of anything and you will be much healthier. My grandmother used to say, 'you can dig your grave with your teeth', and she lived to be 93 by doing the little of everything way of eating.

as with all diets you need to give them time to settle down...your skin will be greasy at first...but it will calm down when your body realises its a permanant thing...in the mean time a gentle exfoliator(used twice a week) with a seaweed based product will help...also drink plenty of water will reduce the greasy skin too

I do eat plenty of variety just not much red meat, Plenty of fish and a little bit of chicken

You could always try goats milk, I know a lot of people who have issues with cows milk are fine when drinking goats milk.

fluffywelshsheep

thanks tried goats milk and sheeps milk but no luck with them
also tried the vary cheeses that went with but unfortunately still have the same prob.

Hmmm... I know I drink very little milk or dairy products in general. Have cheese now and again and the odd yoghurt but rarely have cereal and drink coffee black.

Can't say I really miss it at all.

fluffywelshsheep

I must admited i miss cheese a lot, and when i was younger i had no problem drinking a pink of milk at a time lol((to parent annoyance).
But as you can see i am paying for it in later life lol

Ina

I've always eaten lots of cheese and other dairy products, and still have dry skin... I think there must be something in the genetics as well, not just the food.

fluffywelshsheep

nope it's someing in me am abnormal lol

kimmie

could always try soya milk and cheese or rice milk...although i used to find rice milk a bit sweet for me

fluffywelshsheep

i do drink soya as this is really the only source of calcium and i was concern about not getting enought of it.

Who can say what causes anything really, it is probably a combination of things, genetics, diet, environmental....... it could be anything.

You didn't say how these meats upset you so I'm wondering how bad it is?
I have known a few people with Crones disease who had to cut out whole food groups just to survive. It was veg and fruit with one, meat with another and a combination of dairy and something else with the third.
It might be worth you seeing your GP to get this investigated as, long term, you may need supplements - calcium for instance, with the lack of dairy.

I did go to a GP not that long ago, They surjested IBS to me but that all that happened i wanted them to go alergy testting etc but they weren't happy with it being done for some reason so I left it and, I have tried a couple of different thing a sort of detox diet thing and i elliminated dairy as one thing but then got go complications with other thing when i started to introduce items like red meats .
The problems i get is bowl/stomach pains (with out going in to do much details lack of movements (I was prescribes a 2month worth of fibre powder) but would only get any relief after taking lots of these at one time. (I didn't like doing. I eat plenty of fibre, but not branflakes but i do eat at least 7 bowl of cornflakes a week with soya milk.

I do take calcium added soya milk (so not really worried about calcuim) and also fruit drinks for vit c and also plenty of fruit (i have to buy them in) and veg especially homegrown veg (peas /beans/ cabbage brocolli, beetroots) also buy plenty of veg the things i haven't been able to grown. Another thing that i eat instead of meat is the soya meat like the chicken fillets that you buy according to the packets they have lots of protein and vit in them and low in coletrole etc.

I am trying to eat wisly and not cut out things altogether.
I think a rambling again lol

Here is some info from the NHS on elimination diets http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Allergies/Pages/Eliminationdiet.aspx

Interestingly, soya and quorn are also to be excluded from this diet - as both are potential allergens.

Info here on IBS too http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Irri...rome/Pages/Healthylivingpage.aspx

I didn't think cornflakes were high fibre... perhaps porridge would be a good idea

Julie

I just thought of something else in view of what you said about lack of movements. Are you a little tense or a bit inclined to worry about things?
It can cause real problems with your bowel motility and in turn, you get stomach problems and pains. It is often the reason for IBS too.
A lifetime of constipation caused by messing about with her diet to try and lose weight has given my MIL such bad diverticulitis that she has had most of her bowel removed and has to wear a colostomy bag.
As a person who can't go anywhere but on my own loo at home and in complete privacy, I know very well how anxiety can stop you from going properly.

Reading this through, it concerns me that it might come across as if I am suggesting it might be all in the mind. I wouldn't like you to think that because I'm not, it just seemed like a good factor to consider as well as the dietary issues.

The only fast I do is in the car

I have had a few days where I haven't eaten much, but I don't think I could manage to not eat at all for days at a time. Sometimes difficult enough making it until lunchtime
