My daughter used to drink so much milk, like 3 cups a day with honey, then vitiligo started. She has the gene, also. Now she is 3, and she started vitiligo for 6 months.
Yes as with any autoimmune disorder, the gut microbiome is super important. My child is also 3 and we are cutting gluten and dairy completely to help her heal, also working with a nutritional therapist who specialises in healing child autoimmunity.
I have already healed my own autoimmune diseases by this method so I know it works.
I am not a doctor but in my experience there is no connection between milk and Vitiligo.
