My go-to yogurt recommendation is plain Greek yogurtnot nonfat or fat-free.
These are usually loaded with sugar or artificial flavoring.
You have a dairy allergy (not lactose intolerance).
This is a much more rare scenario, but there are cases of it.
And heres where a lot of people get confused.
Yogurt is much lower in lactosea sugar found in dairy productsthan other milk products.
A milk allergy happens when your immune system overreacts or rejects milk proteins.
Milk allergy affects about 2.5% of children under 3 years old and becomes more rare with age.
However, you don’t need to have a full-blown allergy to have this dairy trigger your breakouts.
Research has indicated that those who consumed large amounts ofwhey proteins are more likely to have acne2.
Try a two-week elimination diet.
A great way to give yourself an easy detox is to use nondairy smoothies for a couple of weeks.
During this time, avoid all dairy products.
Don’t miss your probiotics.
