KP AND FOOD INTOLERANCE & CELLULITE

I found this website and I am also a KP sufferer. I have had it on the backs on my arms for as long as I can remember, I think everybody at some stage in their life will have a bout of it.
It has definately gotten worse over the years which in my case is due to lack of exercise and I believe my diet. I noticed that when I cut wheat out of my diet and embarked on one of those no-carb - high protein diets that the condition improved. The angry redness faded away. I can control the dry skin no problem by exfoliating and moisturising with Cocoa butter( I use Palmers with added AHA's + BHA's which is great)
I also felt inwardly better,more energy etc.
I think a food intolerance is a possible connection, does anyone else? As I know I didn't always have it this bad and in my book if it developed it can be cured.
Also the areas where I have KP feel extremely cold to the touch which always led me to believe that it was cellulite - which I know now it isn't due to when I pick them a whitish substance comes out...uck!Anybody think that there is a connection? Anyway, anyone got any feeback on any of this, I'd love to hear your thoughts

I too believe you!!! I cut out dairy in my diet too due to allergies. If I ate something with butter in it BAM!!! breakout city! I strongly believe that FOOD, Horomones, possibly weight?, Excercise and Allergies all play a role. People always want a quik fix, but this condition isn't about that, it's about lifestyle with many factors. You have to really want to make it better from the inside out. Creams do help the condition, but you have to help your skin from the inside first! Thats my 2 cents anyway.
