Hi I was told and also had lots of information about what to eat and what to not eat however as I was checking my Greek yoghurt it said it had live cultures. I thought this was the same as probiotics so I googled it and it said generally live cultures are ok but to keep away from probiotics. So…. Can I eat live culture yoghurt as long as it’s not labelled as probiotic as I said above I thought they were basically the same thing. Any help would be appreciated as I love my full fat greek yoghurt with fruit and granola sprinkled on it!
Hi Craftygirl
Theres a lot of confusion about this. All proper yogurt has live bacteria and it’s safe to eat during chemotherapy so long as it’s not labelled probiotic. Full fat Greek yogurt should be fine. The following information sheet from one of the large teaching hospitals may help.
