Q. I have found that Activia yogurt is excellent for stopping flatus. One small carton a day stopped most of the problem. Two other friends tried it and they were pleased with the results too.
A. Activia yogurt from Dannon contains live beneficial bacteria called Bifidus regularis. When such probiotic bacteria are included in yogurt, they help digest the milk sugar lactose. People who can’t break lactose down in the gut often suffer flatulence, so perhaps that is the explanation for your unexpected benefit.
