Re: How much yogurt should I have every day?

[Guest guest]

This is from the Yogurt FAQ on Elaine's website, http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yog_faq.htm

Is there a maximum amount of yoghurt I can eat in one day?Yes don't take more than 3 cups per day whether dripped or undripped. Elaine writes: The reason I put a "top" on yoghurt amount is because of the amount of one of the sugars of which lactose is composed: galactose. In other words, more than 3 cups would put stress on the liver to convert galactose to glucose and people with IBD don't need more stress on the liver. However, if you drip the yoghurt, you are getting rid of the watery part with the galactose so if you can eat 3 cups of dripped yoghurt per day (and I can't imagine why you would want that much), go ahead. Just remember that you are eating pure casein which is a very good protein

but that would be an awful lot.

According to the conversion website I used, 500ml is slightly over 2 cups so you're fine.
