    What's the reason it should be avoided? I don't worry much about yogurt strains, ear some local plain Bulgarian yogurt & a little of 2 other brands

      It said that people with compromised immune systems may be at higher risk for adverse events .

      SS doesn't compromise our immune systems. They are talking about people on chemo, people with AIDS and some other diseases, not us. Except of course for those who have SS plus other immune-threat diseases.

    I am new to the diagnosis myself (about 6 months) and have never heard this.  I would like to know as well.  I am lactose intolerant, but can still eat a small container of Greek yogurt (not regular yogurt).  If I eat more than that, it plays havoc on my digestive system.

    Hiya Sunflower13, I’ve never heard of this...I make my own cheese from yoghurt have done for over 15 years now and I have 3 autoimmune conditions, the dr says that its very good for me, careful what you hear and read, make sure your reading from a reputable site. I make Kefir-it is kind of like yoghurt,  it has to have have a SCOBY please google it, I also make Kombucha it also has a mother like ginger beer, it’s a wonderful drink and the both contain lots of good bacteria like yoghurt. Hope you find what your looking for soon, be blessed and have a good day.💐😍
