Generally speaking, we drink yogurt at room temperature or ice, and the shelf life of yogurt is generally short. Many people like to drink yogurt, and now there are more and more flavors of yogurt. It is good for children and adults to drink yogurt, but some people will have diarrhea after drinking yogurt. Why do you have diarrhea after eating yogurt? How to drink yogurt and have loose bowels?

1, caused by lactose intolerance

Milk contains lactose, which needs lactase to be digested in human body. If lactase is secreted less and lactose cannot be completely digested and decomposed, it will cause non-infectious diarrhea. This is lactose intolerance. Most people in China are lactose intolerant. Although yogurt decomposes some lactose in milk during re-fermentation, it still contains lactose. If lactose intolerance is serious, drinking yogurt will also cause diarrhea.

2, caused by cold stimulation

Yogurt is generally stored at low temperature. If you take it out and drink it directly, it will be cooler and have certain irritation to the stomach. You can take it out and leave it at room temperature for half an hour before eating.

3, caused by gastrointestinal sensitivity

Yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria which can help digestion and intestinal peristalsis. If the stomach is sensitive, these may cause digestive tract abnormalities and diarrhea.

4, yogurt expired.

Yogurt will be stored in cold storage after leaving the factory. Lactic acid bacteria will hardly increase in the past few days, but it will have a certain inhibitory effect on other miscellaneous bacteria. After a few days, the number of lactic acid bacteria will increase, and more lactose will be converted into lactic acid. In a few days, lactic acid bacteria will be greatly reduced and miscellaneous bacteria will be active. At this time, the safety of yogurt becomes a problem. Therefore, drinking expired yogurt may also cause diarrhea.

5. What should I do if I have diarrhea with yogurt?

If it is because of lactose intolerance, it is necessary to drink less yogurt and drink more times to let the intestines digest lactose.

If it is caused by cold stimulation, you can drink yogurt at room temperature. Don't heat yogurt too high, it will kill lactic acid bacteria.

If it is caused by gastrointestinal sensitivity, drink less yogurt and pay attention to maintaining the stomach.

If it is caused by the expiration of yogurt, pay attention to the shelf life of food in diet.

6. Do you drink yogurt every day?

Drinking yogurt every day is good for your health. Long-term consumption of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can maintain the ecological balance of intestinal flora and inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestine. Drinking yogurt can also improve human immunity.
