Prevention of gastrointestinal infections in India

Yeah it really puts in perspective how small the world really is

Well, yoghurt is a natural probiotic, and you can get that anywhere.

Yes, I know. The only problem is, I hate yogurt. LOL I can force it down, but it seems like the pills are easier for me to swallow. :-) I like frozen yogurt and the custard ones, but I don't think they are a good for you. I got some Greek yogurt and I choked it down, but it was hard to handle. i don't know why I don't like it?

You might give it a try in the form of Lassi, available in salt, sweet and fruit varieties. There is a whole thread discussing whether or not it is safe. Some of us (with, of course, the usual lack of scientific evidence ) think it is wonderful for the health, and especially for the stomach!

Oops, I just realized that I used "LOL" and I am not supposed to. Haha is what I meant. :-) Thank you for the advice.

lol...

I think it is a made-up word that has become part of the language! But then, maybe I make up my acceptable-English rules as I go along

We have a lovely smiley:

: rofl :

guess it's time to start eating yoghurt! Even I hate it!! :P But what about those yoghurt "shakes" they make?

If you don't like Yoghurt try Yakult....

Interesting. Thank you!

at first, i didn't like yoghurt but after eating creamy curd in india, i am now a yoghead and can't imagine life without it.
fruit lassis and raita with indian dishes, yuuuuummmmmmm!!!!

Yeah banana lassi is slurp.

don't talk about bananas ours have just gone up to $15 a kilo due to cyclones they are the 'luxury item' one treats oneself to, at the moment

Buffalo curd is fantastic, very creamy like Greek yoghurt. Mmmm!

absolutely, THE best

I make my own curds infusing the milk with vanilla pods when I heat it. Additionally, add some chopped fresh mango to the finished product. Also freezes OK in small pots.
