    Cheryl, I have Celiac disease, diagnosed about 13 years ago. Have there been any studies to show how many diabetics have celiac disease? There are so many malabsorbing people in this country it just makes you wonder if there are multiple problems going on. Malabsorption causes so many different problems, and that is exactly what we're talking about. When the small intestine is being destroyed all kinds of problems can occur. To much absorption of fats or not enough. Fats,minerals,liquids all have to be absorbed to benefit the body. At 1 in 130 people having celiac, there's over a million people in this country undiagnosed. Celiac is not hard after you learn the rules.

    I'm glad to hear this! I'm not much of a fruit eater, but have been dabbling in the yogurt field lately. I'm doing my best to start eating healthier now that I will be a college freshman this fall. Yogurt is quickly becoming one of my normal eating habits!

    Is this same yogurt okay for people that are supposed to be using a Probiotic naturell? Meaning if someone has a slight lactose intolerance, will this yogurt be okay?

    I had gastric bypass surgery and I have malabsorption, does this aid in the accelerated digestion with yogurt, I wonder!

    I have always loved yogurt, and eat it regulary as part of breakfast or a snack. Good to note - it is especially helpful for women to eat yogurt when on anti-biotics to help prevent yeast infections.

    You guys should try Kefir. It has 10 or 11 added bacteria, 14 grams of protein per serving and 3 grams of fiber. I love the stuff. It is pricey buy my intestines love it!

    Yogurt also is a helper in preventing yeast infections

    I have tried the advertised Activia yogurt brand, as it claims to regulate your digestive system and reduce irregular bloating. Although it may work for some, I have seen no difference at all, even after using it for the suggested "two week challenge."
