What if you can't eat yogurt? I am about to start a bout of antibiotics and would really like to avoid all the ick from it.
eat soy yogurt
same thing just a little thinner in consistancy
add some fruit to it and you will like the taste, get the benefits with out being farty.

Do they make vanilla soy yogurt?
yes.
silk brand tastes the best to me.
you can get it strawberry, or mixed berry, bananna.. what ever you like.
for about the same as regular yogurt
but that doesn't have the probiotic culture as the real white yoghurt, no? or do they add that?
not all white yoghurts have it either. one has to look at the labels to see if it's there or not.
What am I looking for? Probiotic culture?
yes, that's the lining the antibiotic strips away.
i saw wafers with probiotic culture here (slovakia). maybe you can find something similar, if you hate yoghurt. those are damn tasty too...
yeah, silk / soy yogurt doesnt have all of the cultures that regular yogurt has.
there are some brands that DO have it, i belive their labels read - live active added cultures.. or something like that.
i believe , they will also say they have something like 6 diffrent cultures in it..
let me go look at my own yogurts.
i have both in the fridge.
be right back..
ok
i have organic yogurt ( cow milk ) -
it says - Containes 6 live active cultures including L.Acidophilus, Bifidus, L Casei and L reuteri
the Silk ( soy milk ) says-
yogurt cultures added
L. bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Acidophiuls, B. bifidum , L. casei, L rhamnosus
so, they BOTH have diffrent ones and silk definatly has less then regular yogurt..
what the benefits are of each, i am not sure..
Or you can just take probiotic pills.
This is what I take.
