A member asked:
If i am trying to cut out dairy for skin and lactose intolerance reasons, should i cut it out completely or just majorly cut back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing statement: Lactose intolerance is an issue you can separate from dairy. Total exclusion is often unnecessary unless you have a dairy sensitivity (hives, skin test positive, elevated IgA to bovine protein). Low lactose products like yogurt and cheddar cheese are often tolerated by lactose sensitive persons. There is controversy over the influence of dairy on skin with many discounting the idea.
