How many of you have cut dairy out completely due to inflammation?

I have. I have several inflammatory conditions (ulcerative colitis and related joint inflammation, plantar fasciitis, and a herniated disc) I cut out dairy a few weeks ago as my colitis is flaring and I am trying to prevent it from worsening while I wait for my meds to be delivered. Anyway, I may never go back to eating dairy after this. Not only has stopping dairy helped my flare but I have been feeling a lot better in general and have easily been dropping pounds that I have been struggling to get rid of for years (and this is NOT due to my colitis flare. My flare is currently extremely mild compared to previous flares that landed me in the hospital unable to eat or drink). I have been using oat milk (including an oatmilk creamer in my coffee) because I tolerate it best out of all the milk alternatives.
