Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Ann: is the yogurt plain? no sweeteners or etc. in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Maybe you should try lactose free yogurt? Yoghurt Argh! I have just had a horrible, horrible head-spinning reaction to plain, simple, unsweetened, low-fat live yoghurt. I'm lost for words. I am beginning to get so disgusted with my body, not being able to cope with such simple things. Does anyone else have a problem with ypoghurt? Maybe I've just eaten too much of it lately - going to cut it out for a week and then reintroduce it and see how I go.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Totally plain. Totally unsweetened. Low fat. I've been having it for months, no problemo. I guess my body just doesn't want it right now. Argh. No more sad-excuse-for-a-dessert for me for a while.... :-/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.willow-web.net Quality Web Design ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's live, and live yoghurts are almost entirely lactose-free anyway, according to my friends' nutritionist. She's severely lactose-intolerant, but can have live yoghurt without a problem, so I don't think it's that. It's just another minor irritation - I'll cut it out for a week or two and then try it and see what happens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.willow-web.net Quality Web Design ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 I have a friend who does not have candida but is diabetic and lactose intolerant. Her source of lactose-free yogurt for her breakfast shakes in our area dried up, so I was looking for some on the Net. There are soy yogurts you can get that I think MIGHT be ok for candida patients. (By the way, I noticed these seem to be on the grocery store shelves in Canada, but WAY harder to get in the US... I wonder why? The rich American Medical Association that really DOESN'T want us to eat better?) Louise Re: Yoghurt Dear Ann, I read in my book Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, under the section for Candidiasis, that yogurt is NOT advisable in any shape or form. Despite the beneficial bacteria, yogurt turns to sugar in the long run. I have been relying on yogurt as an alternative to acidophilus pills, and I was distressed to read this. It becomes all the more clear that when the doctors tell us, " No dairy, " they really really mean, " NO dairy! " At least not until we're better. Wishing health to you all.

Decided to go ans see someone else and get a second opinion and a proper, tailored diet sheet. If I've been holding myself back with yoghurt for 6 months I am going to be SO unimpressed. Thanks for the info!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Ann Some books recommend live yoghurt and some advice against (I even eat cottage cheese which is ok by some books and I'm fine with this). The thing with yoghurt is that you've got the bacteria which is a +ve and you've got the milk sugar (lactose) which is a -ve. The best thing to do is try it and see how you feel - listen to your body. I'm sure that live yoghurt is doing me good and would say to anyone that live yoghurt is worth trying. The only thing about low-fat yoghurt I would say is that to make it low fat and to still have the required thickness very often they stick loads of skimmed milk powder in it. This means...guess what....that the yoghurt has much more lactose in it than full fat yoghurt. I make my own yoghurt (because its a 3rd to 1/4 the price) and at first I did exactly this: made low fat yoghurt using lots of skimmed milk powder. I had some reaction to this - craving for it - and gave it up for 6months. I then tried yoghurt again, as I realised that the skimmed milk powder could have been the problem and also I was eating yoghurt with HOT porridge and HOT drinks - which kills the bacteria. This time I tried full fat yoghurt and definitely found that this helped (I could feel that yeast wincing! ) and so have ate it ever since. The other thing is some so-called 'live' yoghurt brands don't actually have that much live bacteria in them - I've seen this from starting off my yoghurt from manufactured live yoghurt. It might be worth changing brand: the make of yoghurt which I have found to have the most bacteria is (fullfat) Yeo Organic Yoghurt - I'd recommend this. If you do want to have a low-fat yoghurt then try Danone Essensis (I think that's what it is called) - this one has lots of bacteria also, but is quite thin and doesn't taste too sweet, so I don't think its got too much skimmed milk powder added. Hope this helps, Pete (the world authority on yoghurt making) PS You can get a decent yoghurt maker from Lakeland Plastics, UK for ~£18. > > > It becomes all the more clear > > that when the doctors tell us, " No dairy, " they really really mean, " NO > > dairy!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Thanks, Pete! > The best thing to do is try it and see how you feel - listen to your body. Sound advice. I'm going to leave it for a week or so and then try a little if and only if I really fancy it. I think I was becoming a yoghurt junkie and jsut plain over did it! Going to leave off the acidiphilus for a couple of days as well, in case my body's saying 'enough already!' on the bacteria. > The only thing about low-fat yoghurt I would say is that to > make it low fat and to still have the required thickness very often they > stick loads of skimmed milk powder in it Doh! Hadn't even occured to me. Actually I dont' think mine was specifically 'low fat' - it's 98% fat-free but it's just the plain ordinary Yeo Organic, which as oyu say seems to haev the best of the bacterial bunch. I alternate between that, Danone and 's Dairy, depending on what my local Tesco Useless' happens to have bothered to order, but I'll give the whole lot a rest for a wee while. I occasionally eat cottage cheese as well, incidentally, and don't have any problems. Tesco are doing a 'live' one now, which is pretty good. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I can't afford any probiotics, so I've been eating yoghurt to replace my good bacteria after antibiotics. But I've discovered that yoghurt coats my tongue... no other symptoms, though. Does this mean I can't eat yoghurt? Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi Alison If you can take yoghurt do, I am not fortunate enough so I have to buy expensive probiotics Jane Re: Yoghurt > Thanks for the suggestion, TJ. > > Jane, I'm not lactose intolerant as I don't have any other problems with > dairy... does yoghurt coat everyone's tongue?
