Do you think that acidophilus milk provides enough beneficial flora to overcome the negative effects that it could have on a candida problem (like mine) ??
I'd like to work some milk back into my diet and it seems logical to think that the acidophilus variety would be a better option than standard milk.

Check the sugar content. I've never tried it. My bio cranial doc says NO DAIRY. I know I dont' do well on it....and for me yogurt contains more sugar than probiotics.

I think it's the same as standard milk in regard to lactose content. I'm going to try it and see what happens. It's weird how I can sometimes tolerate (with great success even) foods that SHOULD bother me.... that could be the case with this type of milk.

My husband has managed to use acidophilus milk in lieu of probiotics (he also takes either Nystatin to guard against yeast). The only downside is that, at least in our area, you can't get milk that is both organic and has acidophilus cultures.
I remember a lot of threads way back about kefir, that yogurt-like drink that is supposed to be a great probiotic. You'd have to get the plain type, because the flavored ones do have very high sugar content. It's one of those flavors that either you love or you hate.
