When I mentioned to my GI doctor that the commercials for Activia bothered me he was completely in agreement and 100% against getting probiotics by consuming dairy. Taking probiotics without dairy is easy and the only way to go! For those without IBS and have no sensitivity to dairy I suppose they might as well eat Activia but it is like taking a little medicine in a glass of poison to IBS sufferers!
If the average person just increased their fiber intake they wouldn't need Activia. I see people at my work (grocery store) that buy total junk food (pizza rolls, pop, chips, hamburger helper, mac n cheese) and then throw in a few cups of Activia!!! It is ridiculous. Everyone wants the easy way out of everything instead of eating healthy.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
