I second Lynn's suggestion! There was a thread last year about

that, here ... acidopholus can take over the gut, esp. if the

kid was on antibiotics or maybe in young children, and that

can lead to acidosis in the worst cases. Kefir has a more

balanced spread of bacteria. Also, kefir really did a nice

job of helping me and my family, where yogurt had little

effect.

I have read so much about the superiority of kefir over yogurt but in the

end we are yogurt eaters. My family simply won't eat kefir (just not nearly

as sophisticated as myself) and I am simply getting tired of preparing

custom foods for each person. Our yogurt is raw and extremely versatile, and

milder in taste than kefir.

To answer the question: i have mixed in salt, dill and olive oil for a

veggie dip. But we mostly just eat the yogurt in smoothies and salad

dressings.
