I agree. There is also a school of thought that says dairy is a huge culprit, an I just happen to consume large quantities of Greek yogurt!! Does anyone else here have trigger foods?

Sadly, I found out the hard way that dairy (lactose free dairy) flares up my oral and cutaneous (skin) lichen planus. I did a really good job avoiding it for a few weeks, then I ate a whole bunch of lactose free milk and yogurt for about 3 days and the last bowl of yogurt I got all itchy about half an hour after eating it. So dairy is out! Almonds have been out for a couple years, but that’s more because of GI issues. I’m holding off on gluten for right now… so I’ll reintroduce it in a few weeks and see what happens.

I'm off dairy, due to intestinal issues, and I feel better over all. When I stopped dairy I lost 15 lbs. too. I eat kite hill almond milk plain yogurt, it is very good, nice texture, I sweeten it up with real maple syrup and pile on the fruit. I think the hormones in dairy is the biggest issue.
