Is yogurt constipating?

Should not be: Yogurt is a type of dairy product and in most cases it is one that may stimulate your bowels to have a movement.

No it is not: As a rule of thumb yogurt does not cause constipation. You need to look at other food ingredients you consume. If there is problem with your bm associated with pain/cramps, you better see your doctor for exam/evaluation.
