Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by ozgirl88: Any dairy-free FOOD sources of probiotics/acidophillus etc?
I’ve just cut dairy out of my diet because it was triggering my asthma, but I want to make sure I’m getting enough of the good stuff usually found in yogurt. I’m already taking heaps of pills (pharma and herbals/vitamins) for other health problems, so I’m don’t want another to worry about. Also, the dairy-free probiotic pills and formulas here (Australia) are super expensive. Also, I like some soy yogurt, but it’s way outside my budget.

I heard miso, kim chi and sauerkraut are good natural sources. I love all three, but are they really a good natural substitute for yogurt? Also, I’m concerned about the high sodium levels, especially in miso, as I take Lithium.

Anything else I’ve missed?

There is a company called Nogurt which is like yogurt but dairy free and Good Belly Organic Probiotic Drinks. I haven’t personally tried them but I know they’re out there.

I am already eating yogurt and taking a probiotic supplement. Was just wondering if there are other good sources of probiotics out there?
Also, I want to try making my own kimchi. I’m not sure where to buy napa cabbage, though. Can I possibly get it at a regular grocery store?
