Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium: My heroes! (, )

by fluffy at 7:59 AM
I used to eat a lot of active-culture yogurt, but I fell out of the habit a few months ago. But it turns out that it may have been doing more for me than I thought.

So I bought a whole bunch of active-culture yogurt on Tuesday and have been eating two servings a day (one for breakfast, one after dinner) and my ulcer symptoms have already all but disappeared.

So three cheers for this critter and its partner (who, sadly, does not come in a plushie, but looks similarly nondescript).

I think I might start culturing my own yogurt, too. It's fairly easy to do and somewhat cheaper than buying the active-culture stuff at the store.

Update: Just because my own gastric fluids don't give me pain doesn't mean I'm ready to have vinegar-based salad dressings or soda water JUST YET.
