Froyo Flu

You actually don't get the stomach flu, also called viral gastroenteritis, from eating yogurt [3]. It's caused by viruses that enter your body through your mouth and irritate your digestive system. Yogurt, especially yogurt with probiotics, can actually be helpful for your gut health. Probiotics are live bacteria that are similar to the good bacteria naturally found in your intestines. They can help restore the balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut, which may shorten the duration of stomach flu symptoms [2]. Here are some tips to avoid getting sick from food in general: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling food and eating. Make sure food is cooked to a safe temperature. Refrigerate leftovers promptly. Be cautious about consuming food or beverages that have been sitting out for a long time. If you're concerned about lactose intolerance, you can always opt for lactose-free yogurt. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
