In my mid-20s I developed a really obnoxious neck rash. Cystic, underneath-your-skin painful achy shit. I went to the doctor and they wanted to give me a diuretic to see if it would help acne, which was weird because my face was completely clear… this wasn't normal teenage acne and I certainly didn't want to be on a diuretic for the rest of my life. I knew then that doctors wouldn't help me.
I start systematically cutting foods and lifestyle choices from my diet to see if I was allergic to anything I was eating, drinking, or around all the time. In the end, it ended up being dairy. I used to drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese, etc. Within days of stopping dairy, the itching and swelling stopped, and within a week or two, the rash was gone. Now I get a bump every now and then if I've been too cavalier with the cheese, but otherwise my skin is pretty perfect with minimal effort. Just don't drink milk, eat a bunch of ice cream, etc.
Dairy never gave me any kind of intestinal troubles… just a weird neck rash
