I had my first doctor visit on Friday, and she told me not to eat active yogurt. I thought the dairy restrictions just applied to anything not pasteurized--is active yogurt made with unpasteurized milk? I don't really see the point of eating yogurt that's not active.<br><br>
Can anybody clear this up for me?

I depended on active yogurt all through my 2004 pregnancy to keep away the yeasties with my very mainstream docs blessings. That just seems odd to say you can't..

I agree...it's so good for you and full of protein! No reason not to eat it...

I checked several active yogurts at the grocery store and they don't say if the milk is pasteurized or not. Very weird.<br><br>
minimunklemama, I'm in the southwest burbs, Kingston to be exact.

last time i was pregnant, they *told* me (at the birth class) to eat yogurt, and make sure it's active.

I think if it is pasteurized it should be fine. Active yogurt is much better for you in fact. What was your doc thinking?
