Does your Kp seem to get worse when you consume sugar and/or caffiene? I think that maybe the biggest culprit of mine.. just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same

I have discovered that if I consume refined sugar products my KP gets bad. Therefore I have said goodbye to all products containing refined sugar, and I only consume lot's of fruits and their juices to get the sugars my body needs naturally and not from any other source.

thanks so much for your imput. what exactly has refined sugar in it? sorry for me being ignorant...

I don't consume anything with sugar (candy bars, sugar with coffee, etc.), I only consume fruits which naturally contain fructose - a sugar that is metabolized in our liver and don't require insulin produced in our pancrease so that it can be taken by our bodies.

thank you!

I don't drink coffee anymore, cant' say I drink alot of coke either (which contains LOTS of suga and caffein). the KP is just there. I don't think consuming anything makes it worse or better for me.

If you go to www.spa-medical.com and click on the "skin conditions" to the right, then scroll all the way to the bottom, there is an article on KP that talks all about the KP-sugar-calcium connection.
