Is yogurt good for irritable bowel syndrome?

Yogurt contains a large number of probiotics (good bacteria) and is said to help treat IBS symptoms. Most yogurt brands are loaded with probiotic strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, which helps put healthy bacteria back in your gut.

However, yogurt is also on the list of foods to avoid if you have IBS. It is due to the fact that it contains lactose which can cause worsening of the IBS symptoms. Simply put, whether yogurt triggers IBS symptoms or not
depends on your personal experience after consuming it.
