Milk has plenty of lactose. Plain yogurt with active cultures has much less lactose and is much easier to digest. Those with candida problems need more acidophilus. Those with candida problems should avoid honey. Licorice or cinnamon is sweet enough on its own, so no sweetener is needed. I am wondering to what degree garlic, cinnamon, cloves, etc. destroy acidophilus? I try to eat the yogurt well spaced apart from those herbs.
