Then add gluten containing foods back to your diet one at a time, but do not eat gluten containing foods more often than once every four days. You will find an excellent source of gluten-free diets and products at the Celiac Disease and Gluten Free Resource Center.

3. Vitamin B complex is needed for healthy skin. Use a high-stress, yeast-free formula. Take 100mg three times daily with meals. You will want to take extras of the following B vitamins as well. Vitamin B3 (niacin) - important for proper circulation and healthy skin. Take 100mg three times daily. Do not exceed this amount, and do not take Niacin if you have a liver disorder, gout or high blood pressure. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - deficiency has been linked to skin disorders.
