Marcy, I think adding 1/2 cup of blueberries or strawberries would be quite suitable. Sometimes I add just a hint of vanilla extract too for a little vanilla taste to my plain yogurt.

Thanks for explaining that to me. So, should be ok with either plain lactose free yogurt OR plain greek yogurt (4 oz). Wish lived closer to Whole Foods. Is is ok to add 1/2 cup strawberries or blueberries to the yogurt OR would that be an FODMAP overload? I need something to sweeten up the plain yogurt!

Marcy,
Yogurt does contain a fair amount of sugar. Some of this sugar -probably close to half of it is from lactose (milk sugar)…the other is added sugar found in fruited or vanilla yogurt. You will see in the plain traditional yogurt 12-14 grams of sugar from the milk (lactose) alone. Greek yogurt has less lactose (some of the lactose is drained off when Greek yogurt is made) so therefore typically overall less sugar. The key to diet and SIBO is to choose foods that are readily absorbed in the body. The sugar in lactose free yogurt is broken down for quick absorption…but I would stick with plain to eliminate any additional added sucrose (table sugar).

Oh…yes inulin not insulin….my iPhone always ‘autocorrects’ that incorrectly!!

I will definitely head over there. The ones I saw at Trader Joes had insulin in them. I think they were Green Valley too.

Linda, Glad it turned out delicious!! Yay!

Green Valley has lactose free yogurt AND sour cream so either could work. It is found at Whole Foods typically–at least in my area. I find a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt is low enough lactose for most people–so that is another option.
