To be honest I always questioned the "yogurt part" in frozen yogurt. I always thought that it's just a low-fat ice cream flavored with yogurt so that people would feel better about eating it! I actually used to love it, though!
However, I could see how it could help you with D. It's usually lower in fat than regular ice-cream so you don't have to worry about fat being the trigger. It's still a kind of dairy. Dairy contains opioid peptides which in adults affect the GI tract and slow down motility. Through trial and error I think I'm pretty sure that dairy constipates me (not good since I'm already a C). Plus, there's also the calcium part as mentioned above.
I'm happy for you that you found something that seems to work!

You're funny Fancy! I think today I'm making up for lost time in the bathroom during the week. I've spent a lot of time in the bathroom this morning. It's not D, though...just a lot of pooping! Sorry for the details. I've had a few salads during the week, too...along with the TCBY. But still no Imodium for D! I took a couple this morning to slow the pooping urgency down as a precaution because my mother and I are planning on going to a movie this afternoon. Didn't want to be in the bathroom during the movie. Ya know...

Zara...thanks for the info. I'm mostly D, so maybe the calcium is having a positive effect on me. I'm also taking probiotics.

Definitely don't want to have to take poop breaks during Kevin Costner movies. That's just wrong!!
Maybe the TCBY's are catching up with you?? Hope not!

Just FYI...for all who "can" eat ice cream... WW has fudge brownie cups ...1.5g fat, 140 cal..... BUT... 7 GRAMS FIBER!
When I'm doing "good" - if I eat that at nighttime - all that fiber helps the next morning - if you know what I mean, girlies!
