How does one lose their lactose tolerance? And is it possible to get it back?

My wife is of German heritage through and through, she drastically reduced her milk ingestion for a period of about 1 and a half years. Now if she drinks she can break out in acne. Is there any explanation to this phenomenon? Has Dr. Peat spoken about it?

Loss of artificially Lactose digesting Bacteria maybe?

I get acne from stressing or worrying about things. It could play a factor especially in combination with a sensitive gut. I got my lactose tolerance back after a few months of steadily upping milk intake (like they did in the study that showed reversal of lactose intolerance). From a glass to about 3 liters now.

In that time I had access to raw milk for a few weeks, maybe that played a role too.
