Question 1

more probiotics in oikos or activa yogurt?

Accepted Answer

Probably Greek: Dannon -- the company that makes activia -- was charged with false advertising on its claims of medical benefit from eating it. Probably the greek yogurts like oikos or fage would contain more of what you&#x27;re looking for. http://tinyurl.com/meqe55m  still, there may be far less probiotic colonies in any yogurt you buy than in specific preparations made for this purpose.

Question 2

should i be eating yogurt while on bactrim? the yogurt i like has the probiotics s. thermophilus and l. bulgaricus?

Accepted Answer

: It will not interfere with Bactrim to eat yogurt.

Question 3

how safe are probiotics vs yogurt?

Accepted Answer

Yogurt tastes better: These contain the "good organisms" living symbiotically with you. Certain condition such as use of antibiotics often kill-off too many of these good bugs and leave us more susceptible to illness from other bad bugs. Probiotics basically replace some of the loss of the good bug and hopefully restore the balance. Both are safe, but yogurts taste better? And contain calciums/vitamins. Good luck.

Question 4

probiotic yogurt drinks hype or benefit?

Beneficial: Probiotics can generate new bacteria which can help digest food weasier which can reduce abdominal pain, bloating, constipation.

Question 5

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: The quality of the products are highly variable and only 4 have been tested in controlled trials with mixed results. Unless you are coming off a course of antibiotics, have acute diarrhea, or frequently suffer from GI or vaginal infections, yogurt should serve you quite well.

Question 7

how much yogurt do you have to take to get the probiotic benefit?

Accepted Answer

Highly variable: Yogurts contain many different strains of probiotics & the amount of live probiotics in yogurt is quite variable, so it is basically impossible to answer your question.While yogurt & other fermented foods like kefir & sauerkraut can be good sources of probiotics, i advise people take standardized products like culturelle & dr.Ohhira's probiotics to make sure they get therapeutic amounts.See comment:.

Question 8
