    I don't think it is normal to give up foods without proper consultations, especially a major food group like dairy!

    You think? Don't you think you should consult a doctor or dietician before eliminating a major food group from your diet?

    Elimination diets are perfectly harmless, as long as the OP knows to sub in appropriate foods that will replace the calcium and other things she would have gotten from the dairy. I personally struggled with cystic acne for 10 years, and no dermatologist I saw would admit that food could have anything to do with it - yet after 2 weeks of no dairy, my skin improved dramatically. And within 6 months, I was completely blemish free.

    I'm 100% gluten and 90% dairy free (I don't scan every packaged product for dairy like I do gluten) both due to dx of MCAD. I usually only sub for milk with almond milk other wise I just skip both food groups, get my calcium from a supplement and fiber from veggies.
