soy yogurt!

 

does soy yogurt have the live acidophilus in it?

 

Soygurt does have live and active cultures.

You can also just buy acidophilus pills and take those.

 

I just got over some sort of stomach virus, and I also wanted to replenish those healthy bacteria. Let me reassure you that soy yogurt is good. (I don't think it's too funky in flavor, as some soy substitutes are.)

Silk brand soy yogurt, which is available in most grocery stores (in the US, anyway), has the four major live cultures (including acidophilus) that you would find in dairy-based yogurts.

I'm not sure if it's required by law, but most yogurts list their active cultures as part of the ingredients list, or they mention them somewhere on the packaging. So, you should have no problem finding soy yogurt with live cultures, just by checking the labels.

Silk brand comes in several flavors, including vanilla, which is nice if you want to add your own fruits or other flavors. Or eat it plain. (That's my favorite Silk flavor, although the strawberry and blueberry are good too.)

So, yes, there is such a thing as vegan yogurt!

 

News to me! I never ate yogurt when I was omni, but I will give the Silk kind a shot when I am finished with my course of ABs. THanks for all the advice!!!!

Nancy's soy yogurt is

good.

 

Its a pretty good idea to take the acidophilus pills instead of the yogurt- you get more acidophilus that way, and it seems easier to me. But, you can always eat the yogurt sometimes and then supplement with acidophilus on the days you don't eat it. Just a thought.

 

I took antibiotics a few years ago for pneumonia and didn't eat yogurt or soygurt, and I don't remember having digestive troubles...maybe it's not entirely necessary...

 

Antibiotics can kill intestinal flora and vagina pro-bacteria, so for people who have digestive issues/yeast issues, ect., a pro-biotic formula can be very helpful.

 

Try pure Aloe Vera juice, 1 tbsp 3 times a day instead of the yogurt
