It is just that it doesn't have anywhere near what it should and also contains starches and sugar most of the time unless she is getting plain. If it were me, I would be recommending the capsule probiotics if she doesn't have the space to make yogurt regularly. My husband can't do too much dairy, so he uses capsule probiotics instead of the yogurt. Amelia > > No, no, not to worry, I'm not thinking WE can go eat commercial > yoghurt!

They pasteurize it before the probiotics go in - otherwise it would just be spoiled milk, not yogurt. As long as you eat it in the beginning of the sell by date, it should be fine. And as long as you get one with good, reliable probiotics. >> I know she hasn't the >> time or space in a tiny newlywed's apartment to make yoghurt, so >> perhaps she should just take probiotic capsules? That works, too. Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
