Whether it's dairy or not, probiotics are good for you. Even with IBS. I take a supplement every day and have found that The L.Acidopholus probiotic helps some to restore the natural Flora of the gut. Actually, my GI doctor told me not to eat dairy EXCEPT Activia. How weird is that? Maybe it is a conundrum, but Heather obviously knows what she is talking about. In my opinion, the dairy she is referring to is MILK and MILK CHEESES and WHOLE EGGS, etc.
