This is true, you have to look for yogurt that says it contains
'live cultures' ... but you use it to build up cultures in your
intestines (icky icky icky) and that does help. Not something
you take once you're feeling crappy ... no pun intended.

Also, I can tolerate milk if I eat banana with it, I figured that out
on my own and then found out it's true.
