Cooking For Health: Yogurt - Dietary Benefits
Yogurt can be helpful in restoring the digestive tract to its normal condition after a course of antibiotics, which are liable to indiscriminately destroy all intestinal bacteria, both good and bad.
Some people who are unable to digest dairy products where the condition is due to the loss of the enzyme lactose during adulthood can tolerate yogurt. This enzyme converts lactose to lactic acid and without it, any lactose ingested in milk products will sit undigested in the intestine, attracting water and causing bloating, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. As lactose is already converted to lactic acid during the manufacture of yogurt, people more easily digest it with lactose intolerance than other dairy products.
