dripped v non-dripped?

[Guest guest]

At start of diet I began with non-dripped goat yogurt, 1 TBS / daily without

problem, for about two weeks or so. Then for about 10 days, when away from

home,

I switched to GI Pro Health probiotic, 1 cap daily, without problem. Back

home, 6 days ago I started eating dripped goat yogurt, 1 TBS per day, and began

experiencing moderate cramping and bloating, but no D, though my stools, after

quasi-C of first few weeks, have become larger.

Now as I understand it dripped yogurt is more potent than undripped but also

less troublesome for those of us with dairy sensitivities. Is that correct? (I

think I recall Marilyn posting that observation not too far back?) So I'm

wondering if it's the dripped yogurt that's causing these symptoms or

something else? (and forgive me, but I confess that in moments of weakness,

physical and emotional, and panic, I ate something illegal the first two days

of consuming dripped yogurt -- small portion of millet first day and small

portion of GF rice pasta the second day. But that was 5 days ago. I'm

thinking it must be the yogurt, though, since the cramping starts fairly soon

after eating.

It also occurs to me that 1 TBS of dripped yogurt, by its density, actually has

more volume than 1 TBS of non-dripped; does that make sense (any physicists,

engineers or architects capable of measuring space and volume out there?)? So

maybe I should just cut back the amount of dripped yogurt in the beginning?

(excuse me, I tend to think aloud when writing)

A related question concerns mixing-matching yogurt and capsule probiotics:

- do some folks take both, using probiotic to make up for yogurt sensitivities

limiting consumption?

- does alternating between two (say, if you don't have access to yogurt for a

period)require a period of readjustment to yougurt.

so many questions ... c'est tout!
