Poster x 0 Posted November 29, 2011 How long would I have to go without dairy to determine whether or not it affects my acne? Would I need to cut diary out completely to reliably determine this, or could I just radically cut my consumption down? Also, would there by any way to tell it my acne went away from cutting diary or from other treatments I am doing? I am currently on doxycycline and using epiudio, and I'm also trying to avoid hi-gi foods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDR WellnessCoach 13 Posted November 29, 2011 I cut out Wheat, Soy, & Barley (Gluten Free) and noticed a difference in a short time. 1 of those is causing Acne, just waiting for results to come back to know which 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phresh 20 Posted November 30, 2011 As long as it takes you to read this sentence. Dairy is no good for anyone - stick with yogurt/kefir or just don't even consume it at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FaceValues 229 Posted November 30, 2011 As long as it takes you to read this sentence. Dairy is no good for anyone - stick with yogurt/kefir or just don't even consume it at all. Or raw milk/cheese, grass-fed butter, etc. unless you're lactose intolerant, then the above statement is true. Quit with the dairy until your gut flora has repopulated itself (maybe with the aid of a good probiotic among other methods you'll find on this forum) then reintroduce it back a little. Honestly the process is all up to thou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherryx 10 Posted November 30, 2011 I was gonna ask the same question. If I eat something that may cause my acne, will acne appear the next day? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vapor1 16 Posted November 30, 2011 I'd lay off of ALL dairy for 2 weeks (not very hard at all) to see if it helps. There are also other variables (possible other foods causing breakouts) is the only problem. But if you have a problem with dairy, it will hopefully help a little.

moonbase 69 Posted November 30, 2011 If you're experiencing acne, cut out milk, cheese and yogurt. Butter is well tolerated though - go for kerry gold. If you want to be on the safe it's best to axe it all. There are plenty of other sources of nutrition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

User142279 332 Posted November 30, 2011 Some people are allergic to dairy, and will get a fairly quick allergic type of acne, this is what happened with me when I would have oranges. Regular acne can take 2-4 weeks to develop, so it could also contribute in that way. I'd say go without it for 2-3 months while going on an elimination diet, and you can add it in slowly (one thing at a time). There's also a handful of different food allergy/intolerance tests out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunkylard 188 Posted November 30, 2011 2 months and you can be 99% sure if it has an impact on your acne. But dairy isn't good for you either way so it shouldn't be a part of your diet. The only dairy that is decent is grass-fed butter and kefir. Raw milk/cheese and greek yogurt are "ok." They still suffer many of the same problems regular dairy has. They shouldn't be a major part of your diet and it's one of the few ideologies that vegans got right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fakeplasticgirl 1 Posted November 30, 2011 ^ What about goat's cheese? Is that just as bad as regular cheese? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
