Hey! So, i eliminated dairy-product from my diet about 7-8 months ago in order to clear my acne. And it worked! I'm a %100 clear now. So, the problem is, im a teenager and still developing. And i need calcium. My parents are like, "if you continue like this your going to have serious problems in the future!" To be honest, that reeaaallly scared me. I eat all calcium rich foods like dill,parsley,almonds but i still feel like its never enough because recently i noticed that my nails weakend etc. I want to go back to eating dairy but im scared that my acne comes back. So, i have three questions.
1- Is goats milk better and have a less chance of breaking me out than cows milk?
2- Im considering only eating goats yogurt daily. Is yogurt better than milk? Will it break me out?
3- Is there any other calcium rich foods other than dairy?
Thanks for answering!
You'll just have to try it.
And the answer to all three questions is yes. Goat is generally less of a problem than cow. And fermented dairy is better than not fermented. In fact, adult animals really shouldn't drink milk by the glassful. It is full of hormones and growth factors designed to accelerate growth. And in a body that is no longer growing, that's a bad thing.

I can't tolerate dairy but I can drink low-fat kefir, the key being low-fat. I can't drink the whole milk version.
How long did it take your acne to clear up after eliminating dairy?Did you see results right away? Or were you still breaking out for a couple of weeks before things calmed down?

I stopped getting new acne as soon as I eliminated. You could try aspirin orally to help reduce the breakout.
