Hello, my name is Mary, and I'm a yogurt-o-holic. :)
After cutting drastically back on my dairy products for the last couple of months, I knocked back more than a pint of "drinkable yogurt" (a.k.a. kefir). Dang, I've missed that stuff!
For years I kept my fridge continually stocked with all possible flavors of yogurt and kefir. Then I started getting "virtuous" and buying plain yogurt and mixing jam or maple syrup into it. (In hindsight, I was probably getting more sugar that way, so it wasn't very virtuous after all, was it?) :)
"I swear, it was the probiotics wot dun it!" Er, no, I don't. It was all me. I had just been reading a very interesting article about the gut/brain connection, and that set my mind working, so that I bought a bottle of probiotic capsules at my local drugstore -- but that kefir was already in the fridge, thanks to my DH, who also loves the stuff. (He's slightly lactose-intolerant, but since the wee probiotic beasties eat most of the lactose, he handles fermented dairy just fine.)
So the acid(ophilus) test is: Can I consume yogurt and kefir in moderation, or will they always be wild binge triggers for me? We shall see!
