Diet change

I eat clean for a long time, no sugar, no gluten, but 3 weeks ago I also stopped all dairy. Before I was taking only yogurt or kefir (not milk), but I decided that it would be good to try to be completely dairy free, because I have huge inflammation in my body.
The thing is - I feel worse. I thought I will feel better. I don't have energy, extreme fatigue, weakness, can't focus, brain fog. It started a few days after I stopped dairy.
How is this possible?
What should I do now? I thought it may be temporary, but I feel worse every day. It's like that there is something in yogurt that helps my body, I don't know?

Another excellent link to catalog. I sure didn't know, as I've not given up my dairy entirely.

Dairy withdrawals........who would have thought!

I quit animal milk a couple years ago I went with almond milk- tastes even better, not mucus forming either.

A month ago I finally eliminated all dairy products, and definitely feel better "gut wise", skin is notably more clear too.

I take a good probiotic, so I felt zero benefits from yogurt. I sure miss cheese and yogurt though. Almond yogurt is insanely priced, I'm afraid I might like it, so never tried it LOL.

Initially this was just a self experiment and part of the whole 30 diet, so, I'll try it a little longer. Pizza looks so good, but it always put me into la la land feeling like a tired blob after.

Did you replace the probiotics you were getting from the yogurt and kefir with something else?

Thank you all for your answers.
I am taking probiotics.
I will stay on this diet - no dairy, but I haven't notice any change. Maybe it is too early.

Speaking of diet there is a new one making the rounds. People have claimed its cured them of every ailment.

It is called SCD (specific carbohydrate diet)

Everything you need to know about it is somewhere on this page

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/listing/

I may eventually try it but it is strict as heck.

Actually this one has been around for quite awhile. It's a variation of low fodmap, GAPS, and Paleo. Though it really is moreso in-line with the low fodmap diet. You can eat more on SCD than Paleo. But again they all have similarities.

"I don't suppose anyone here is doing this?".well, I am into month 2 on a more strict whole30 version of paleo, which is even more strict than the SCD.

Hm,......... just read parts of the legal /illegal food list for specific carbohydrate diet. The purpose is the same as the Whole30 version of Paleo, which is to end food causing gut permeability (leaky gut), but the "legal /illegal food list" is a little different in both, weird. Whole30 does not permit and dairy products SCD does. Some veggies which are really tubulars are allowed in Whole30/Paleo, but not SCD.

It makes no sense that SCD allows some dairy, since its a known gut offender to many people. No dairy products, I have adhered to 100%. My gut feels great, only time will tell if that means better total health.

I'm going to try the Whole30 past 30 days. Why only do it 30 days, wont see much relief in that sort time if one had gut issues their whole life.. I've adhered to it realistically to about 95-99%. Part of that is technical learning ingredients for store products- mistakes unknown till later.
