Yogurt is a natural probiotic containing good bacteria that’s especially beneficial for people with UC. Probiotics aid digestion and help to heal the gut by encouraging the growth of good bacteria. For those who are lactose-intolerant, the bacteria consume some of the lactose making yogurt easier to digest. Plain organic yogurt that contains live, active cultures with no added sugars is recommended.
