Does dairy give anybody else acne flare ups but not the shits?

Happens to some people, yes. Most likely an allergy to dairy proteins. A lot of us have damaged gut linings from eating processed foods, too many antinutrients and too much fiber. Causes various issues like leaky-gut, stuff like the dairy proteins break through and you develop an inflammatory auto-immune response to it on some level. That or other similar derangements. I'd stick to meat, tuna, eggs and such for your protein intake (if you have no issues with eggs as well) until your gut heals after a few years on something like a strict "carnivore" approach then slowly reintegrate dairy and see how you feel.

And no, I wouldn't say this is due to lactose intolerance. Most Somalis seem to have Cushitic lactase persistence and you probably do too. Plus, lactose intolerance symptoms are totally different from some skin breakouts. You'd be having some serious digestive... un-fun times.

Thanks bro, this answer actually makes a lot of sense. You learn something new everyday
