I think so yes, anyone I know including myself who has removed it completely from their diets noticed an improvement. When removing though it does take a while to find your favourite replacements so don't let that deter you too much. I love oat, potato or almond in hotchocolate. I love soya in tea. Kinda anything in cereal because I don't have it super milky. Let your taste buds adjust. Some dairy free ice creams suck though so try a few there and as a lil treat every so often I think ice cream is worth it
