Digestive Food #2: Yogurt

Many types of yogurt contain probiotics that are either part of the starter culture or added after it is pasteurized. If they are not added after pasteurization, many yogurts lose the bacterial benefits due to the heat treatment. Look for labels that say that the yogurt has live active cultures to ensure that it contains probiotics.

Yogurt contains two probiotics called Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus. They have been shown to improve the uncomfortable symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, a common disorder that results in constipation or diarrhea. One study showed that patients with IBS who consumed yogurt containing Bifidobacteria reported less symptoms of bloating and constipation after six weeks.
