Well... I think that's highly individual. I don't get those kinds of reactions to yoghurt (not that I like Dannon activia yoghurt, don't get me wrong) and to dairy in general.
There seems to be something in some milk products that bothers me (e.g. in processed cheeses), but I do great with dairy in general (as long as it's fat free... maybe that's the problem with cheese, I don't know).
I don't think you can claim that it WILL give you gas, though. It MAY do so... it's safer to avoid dairy when you don't know how you would react to it (and that's what I did when I first started EFI), but if you're stable and don't react to dairy, I don't see why the probiotic in activia won't be good for you. Maybe I should try it and report how I do... the only thing is it's way too sweet and tastes like plastic, LOL. I have to mix it in *real* yoghurt.
Just so you know, I am back to stable and back to eating lots of real yoghurt (not plastic style like stonifield farm and dannon, LOL)... it still does nothing to me in terms of gas/bloating, and it gives me lots of protein...
Some people react to dairy that is true. Some do not, however. It's individual. And it's better to play safe initially, when you don't know what you will react to. Heather put it very well -- start on the Break the cycle diet and add things one by one so you will know for sure what bothers you and what doesn't. Dairy is last on the list for things to add (at least it was for me) since you don't NEED it as much as you need vegies and other things.
