Hello, I've been following a low-carb plan for awhile, since I definitely feel better while eating fewer carbs than when eating many. I've been having a 125 gram serving of plain, active-culture yogurt (about 6g of carbs, according to the label) on occasion, and that by itself is giving me a headache akin to the types of headaches I get when I eat a lot of carbs at once, along with a little bit of an upset stomach. I don't see any thickener listed on the label, so I'm not sure what's making me have a bigger negative reaction to the yogurt than other carbs--anyone have ideas? Is it possible I'm allergic to something else in the yogurt? I don't have the sort of reaction at all when I eat cheese or cream.

Not being flip here Christine, but does it much matter? If doing "A" always leads to "B" and "B" is unpleasant then the only logical step is to cease doing "A". The "why" of it really doesn't matter. The yogurt disagrees with you.

Mostly because I do like plain yogurt quite a bit and at times am able to eat it without problems, so if it's something that is possibly related to a particular ingredient in the yogurt or whatever else, I'd like to be able to determine what it is. I'm just looking to hear if anyone else has experienced the same thing and what they concluded about it.
You could try making your own. That way you could be more certain that there are no extra preservatives that you may be sensitive to.

What "ingredients" are in the yogurt you are eating? If it has all kinds of preservatives, flavourings, etc, you should probably stop buying that kind.
The stuff I eat has milk ingredients and active bacterial culture, and that's it.

If your not even going to try to answer their question then don't post.

Thanks a bunch, Christine
What kind of plain yogurt? What are the ingredients? Have you tried different brands (Dannon versus Stonyfield versus Total Greek)?

If *you're* not going to contribute anything of value to ASDL-C then don't post. If you had a modicum of real experience with low-carbing (something I doubt) you'd recognize the value of my reply. Positing some theories wouldn't change a single thing for Christine, nor would it answer her question in any definitive fashion.

As I said, I'm not trying to be a pain in the neck. If the same yogurt gives you an upset stomach sometimes, and that's *all* you can connect to the symptom, then the best thing to do is eliminate it. If there's something you haven't mentioned - like this occurs but you switch brands or something, then there may be something you can avoid. Expand more on what is happening, what brand the yogurt is, what the entire ingredient list is, anything you put in it (sweeteners for example) that may affect you. Do you have the yogurt in conjunction with your vitamins for example? List everything, even if you don't think it means anything.

The ingredients of plain yogurt are supposed to be milk or cream and bacteria culture. If you don't have a problem with other dairy then the suspects are either junk ingredients from the label or the type of bacteria. If you also have problems with non-plain yogurt, kefir and so on, think of the bacteria. They are beneficial to most people so you could be the rare exception.

I never eat non-plain yogurt so don't have much basis for comparison there. I've tried a few brands of plain yogurt (Stoneyfield, Colombo, generic store brands in France including Greek yogurt and regular active culture plain yogurt), and all seem to produce a similar reaction, though it's much more apparent when I have the yogurt alone rather than with other food; sometimes I don't notice anything at all when I have it with other food. I don't have access to the labels right now, but from what I can remember there weren't fillers that I could recognize in the most recent yogurt (the French brands--granted, my French gastronomic vocabulary is not particularly expansive), which had about two or three ingredients listed which, in addition to milk, I think were just various cultures. I guess it could just be the bacteria that aren't fond of me.
