why is there bacteria in yogurt?

the bacteria (or live cultures) were put in orginally to break down the sugars to make the yogurt. they are excllent to eat because they thrive in your gut and assist in digestion. fantastic stuff really.

Eating a few spoonfuls of yogurt daily while you are taking antibiotics will prevent you from getting a yeast infection. I have never heard of "inserting it." If the infection is still in the earlier stages (mild discharge and itching) eating yogurt should also get rid of it. However, if the discharge becomes worse and the itching is driving you crazy, you will have to take medication to cure it. If the products like monostat don't get rid of it, see your doctor. Something else is going on with your body.

Cranberry juice helps prevent urinary tract infections, it has nothing to do with your vagina. Yoghurt promotes the growth of good bacteria in the vagina and everywhere else in your body. It only works if it says live and active cultures on the container.

It's a bacteria found in the human genitalia. It's very frequent in sexually active adults and it has been known to cause disease such as pneumonia, meningitis and still or premature birth.

I had alot of issues a few years ago with different health problems.  After taking 2 a day and eating more yogurt, the problems are gone.  I don't know if it's in my head but if I run out, I start noticing problems again.  I pay around 7 dollars a bottle and I keep them in the refrigerator.  Good Luck!

Actually I have a better idea. Use plain yogurt as a douche. It works! The itch goes away instantly. Yogurt has the same bacterial balance and ph as your natural conditions. Dip a finger into the container, then insert in your vagina. \n\nEating yogurt can help but it isn't as fast acting. I suggest you use asadopholis capsules, opened and poured into what ever you are mixing. It is tasteless so don't worry!\n\nI have Adult Onset Primary Immune Deficiency. The Boy in the Bubble Syndrom. I know all about compromised immune systems!

E.g. Yoghurt is product of bacterial fermentation (lactic acid bacteria - e.g. Lactobacillus cessei, Lactococcus lactis, Streptococus thermophilus, ...) some cheeses, too.\n\nBut definitely NOT beer or bread. These are products of yeast fermentation (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) which is NOT bacterium, but fungus. Molds on brea are NOT bacteria too.\nThere is a big difference between BACTERIA and FUNGI(prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms).\n\nI hope this can help you.

Probably this is making you dirtier than when you entered. Bacteria loves to grow in hottubs; perfect conditions for all types of bacterial growths.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, bacteria that can cause disease in unpasteurized milk include:  campylobacter, escherichia, Escherichia coli (e-coli), listeria, salmonella (salmonellosis), yersinia, and brucella.   Also, tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, strep throat, scarlet fever, and typhoid fever.

Probiotics like acidophilus and Lactobacillus are found in yogurt. I would recommend getting it that way. The amount isn't as important as getting it regularly and getting live cultures. The point is to get it to colonize your digestive system. Once this happens, it will grow on its own, but will need constant "refreshing". Interestingly, Walmart brand yogurt (Great Value) has active live cultures of both Acidophilus and Lactobacillus, and, in my opinion is pretty tasty. There was a study recently in the news using lactobacillus that showed some positive results ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4938020.stm ). I'm not even sure the pills would have live cultures. The stuff is no good to you unless it is living.

What are Live and Active Cultures? \nLive and active cultures are responsible for some of the potential benefits of yogurt. Cultures including Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus are added to milk to create what we call yogurt. Yoplait also adds Lactobacillus acidophilus to our yogurt. This is a third live and active culture. \n\nThese cultures are known as "live and active cultures." Yogurt is initially made with such cultures, but some yogurts are treated with heat after they are made. The heat processing destroys the cultures. Heat-treated yogurt doesn't taste any different, nor does it contain less calcium, protein or other nutrients, but it may not offer some of the health benefits that yogurt containing active cultures does.

I hear yogurt is excellent for treating BV.  You can actually dilute it with water and use it as a douche. Plain yogurt of course! It's not transferable from partner to partner.  Some causes could be wearing tight clothing, taking bubble baths, not wiping from front to back, excessive douching or just overall poor hygiene.  OTC acidophilus tablets work well also.

Bacteria, if thats what you meant, isn't made. It is a life form that grows. Bacteria can be grown on a nutrient agar culture in a petri dish. Or, just leave some bread or an old peice of fruit out and you'll get all sorts of bacteria. By the way, there is bacteria all over your body right now.

Your body uses bacteria to process food, if you don't have the correct balance of bacteria in your body (from taking antibiotics) you can get diarrhea and other problems.  Also the natural yeast population increases without the bacteria to balance it and you are more prone to yeast infections.  Your body is a finely balanced organism, tipping the scale one way or the other is never a good idea.  Of course give it some time and rest and it can recover marvelously.

Many people theorize that this was a sanitary issue, albeit one that came about before our modern understanding of hygiene. Milk products can act as a growth medium for bacteria found in uncooked or spoiled meat, so the mixing of them was prohibited.
