I'm 20 weeks pregnant...I have been trying to eat healthy up until this point. I was wondering, is "probiotic" yogurt safe? It has "live" bacteria in it that is supposed to eat away at all the negative bacteria....does this harm the baby? Does she ingest it? The yogurt I have purchsed has this in it...and I am scared to eat it. Please let me know if anyone has ever wondered or knows about this! Thanks!

All yogurt has live bacteria in it. That's what makes it yogurt. The bacteria in the yogurt though are the good bacteria ... the stuff your body needs to fight bad bacteria and keep you healthy. You should be able to eat it with no problem, but run it past your doctor or his nurse first just in case there is some other reason they don't want you to eat it.

The micro organism would help to restoration the "friendly" micro organism interior the intestines, after the bacterial stability of the digestive equipment has been disenchanted from a GI trojan horse or from using antibiotics. Yogurt is made with milk that has been pasteurized, so it fairly is amazingly in good condition to be eaten. Yogurt is made by employing curdling milk with purified micro organism -- Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus -- which reasons the lactose (milk sugar) to coach into lactic acid. the technique starts off with pasteurized, homogenized milk this is first inoculated with the micro organism cultures and then warmed in an incubator for numerous hours the place is turns into thick and tart. you would be able to as properly make your guy or woman yogurt. Yogurt makers are obtainable in lots of kitchen and well being-food shops.
