I have read a few places that the probiotic yougurt (see here) can cause your skin to breakout. While there seems to be a good number of digestive health benefits I wanted to know if there is any validity to this . . . after all I am very self conscious

Some people react to dairy by breaking out. It's not the yoghurt per se, it's just dairy overall. I think the only way to find out is to remove dairy, see if your skin improves, or introduce dairy and see if it worsens... – Renee Oct 28 at 20:03
your referenced link did not mention anything about kefir causing acne – Domtx008 Oct 29 at 6:15

Some people breakout on dairy, but it can become better overtime if you're off grains and dairy for some time (some theorize that dairy intolerance is a result of grain intolerance).

What you can do is to try home-made goat kefir, fermented for 24 hours (for less lactose). Add a bit of RAW honey in it, berries, nuts, and eat. The goat part is because it has a different casein than that of cows, making it easier to tolerate it. And the home-made part is because store-bought kefir is a joke, it doesn't contain all the bacteria/yeasts. I bought my kefir "grain" culture on Amazon. It's super easy to prepare kefir, no special equipment is required.

If your skin is actively breaking out, you should not be eating any dairy. Not even raw dairy.

It mainly depends on your skin type, otherwise nothing is bad, only just need to balance it. nubi nubi
