Do you think it's enough to just eat yoghurt everyday and drink Yakult etc (drinks with probiotics) rather than popping a pill? They are pretty costly and at least I actually enjoy eating froyos! Lol

Probiotics is effective when consumed in either food or supplement form, but as there are different strains of bacteria, I would recommend consuming both supplements and food. http://www.webmd.com/diet/answers-to-your-questions-about-probiotics?page=1

Yoghurt and Yakult tend to have some sugar in them but that's what I do at times, not everyday. You can also make your own yoghurt at home. In that way, it's healthy, fresh and sugar can be controlled. It's not difficult to make Greek yogurt!

Yoghurt is actually quite sweet unless you buy non-sweetened one. Beware of Gestational Diabetes (GD). Probiotics pills are more effective if there is a case of diarrhea. During normal days, just eat a balanced diets.

thanks
