In conditions of excessive amounts of sebium, Propionibacterium acnes bacteria is happy to join and multiply there, causing inflammation.
According to some studies, there is a link between the occurrence of skin rashes and the consumption of dairy products. The mechanism of their influence is the same: they stimulate the formation of insulin-like factor-1. At the same time, there is a group of people who do not have an enzyme that breaks down lactose – milk protein.
Recently, the fashion for gluten has spread among the masses. Gluten – It is a vegetable protein found in cereals. It is well tolerated by most. However, there is a certain group of people with intolerance. In them, gluten can cause autoimmune disease – celiac disease and gluten intolerance without celiac disease.
