I have an actimel 0% fat and sugar yoghurt dink every day. It's very good for keeping the bowels regular too!

I have an actimel every day, but I'll be totally honest, the many journal articles I have read on how pre & pro-biotics affect weight loss in patients who have had WLS, suggest that while they certainly won't hurt, the gut actually adjusts its own levels of what we commonly term 'good' & 'bad' gut bacteria, in response to calorific intake. Over time, as obesity levels lower, the 'good' bacteria load increases while 'bad' bacteria loads decrease.

Ive just got some Actimel today, the dentist recommended them as he's put me on anti-biotics and said as Im not eating very much they might (anti biotics) kill the good bacteria aswell as the bad.......so Ive got some and they taste ok. I thought they'd be mingin lol XX

thanks for the scientific take on this Angie. I tend to drink the Actimel as my doctor recommended live culture yoghurt when I caught dysentery a few years ago...and I was on huge doses of IV antibiotics in hospital which played havoc with my natural flora!

Niki I have a cupboard for my food which no-one else is allowed to touch! It works some of the time!

They're quite nice aren't they Dotty? I got horrendous thrush after being on loads of antibiotics in hospital. The yoghurt definitely does help.
