I used to be bloated before my doctor advised me to try eating more bifidus with the help of a popular yogurt brand. It works like a charm: almost no bloating anymore if I got my morning yogurt but gaz seems to come back in a day or two of bifidus abstinence. I’d love to find a diary-free alternative.

Have you tried kefir?

Regular milk is unbearable to me, and yogurt is better but not too much.

Kefir on the other hand made a significant change to my day to day "gut health".

**fast edit: and I really mean significant change. kefir + no sugar (low sugar diet)

If someone is making their own Kefir, the grains can also be converted to water Kefir to ferment something non-dairy.

If you have Forager where you live, I'd highly recommend it. It's a cashew based probiotic.

Thanks a lot! I’ll give it a try.
