Could whey pro or glutamine give acne?

Skin reactions may include an itchy red rash, hives, eczema, allergic "shiners" (black eyes), and swelling of lips, mouth, tongue, face or throat. Digestive system reactions might include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, bloating, or abdominal cramps. Respiratory system reactions include runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing; or even anaphylactic shock. '

I'm obviously no youngun but did have the occasional breakout but I quit drinking milk about a year ago and haven't had anything since. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

Actually glutamine is known to have a rare side affect of causing skin irritation, I googled it pretty extensivly and it seems if not common not unheard of. I stopped taking it 2 days ago and I'm already clearing up.

I'm also taking whey, but I have read that taking glutamine has been shown to increase Growth Hormone by over %400. Some people say the studies aren't accurate, but wouldn't growth hormone give you acne? I haven't had acne in years....now all of a sudden I do. ============ Quoting from waywardryan: I've noticed that since I started taking glutamine (it seems like) my skin has gotten dryer and more prone to breaking out.
