dblaisde Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I'm recovering from a nasty antibiotics session that kills everything in your gut, and wanted some Yolida yogurt (because it contains *live* cultures, which make it effective as a "probiotic".). All other yogurts I've seen don't contain live cultures. I searched in my neighborhood for it and came up empty--nothing in 3 7-11s or the local large supermarket. (I live near Phra Athit Rd near Khao San Rd). Where do I get this stuff. It's made in Thailand after all. Is there a chain store that sells it? (since I could find a location near me). thanks in advance. Edited October 9, 2015 by dblaisde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkpanther99 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not sure about Bangkok but in Hua Hin, Yolida is sold in Makro and Villa Market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yeah most places don't stock it. Not sure how effective your plan is going to be and you're right to be concerned about bacteria wipeout, but KIMCHI would have a lot more activity than live culture yogurt.

kkerry Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Jusco/Aeon have sold it for years and still do. It can go out of stock at times but in stock at my local store today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I also often find Yolida in Tesco Lotus...not all of them, but many. And almost always in Tops and Foodlands. At 7-11, the Bulgaria brand also has live culture and the navy blue ones are unsweetened. I know the culture is live because I am able to successfully make my own yogurt with just a spoonful of it as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 All branches of Foodland definitely stock it. But as another poster mentioned, the Bulgaria brand which you can find in practically all 7-11 stores also has live acidophilus and bulgaricus cultures.

AyG Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 OP, you are aware that the bacteria in yoghurt are not going to survive in your gut? They like living in milky surroundings, not in an acid bath. What you need is "poo pills" as they are known (or "poop pills" in Americanese).

If the Yoghurt is fat enough a few may survive...that is a common problem with fat food and food-poisoning....bacteria survive inside fat bubbles.

Bulgaria blue label is by far the best and probably most expensive.For diabetics it has the top rating. Dont fall for the cheaper low fat vareties ,they are full of sugar and as Sheryl says buy some and you can make your own ,simple. In CM available at ALL supermarkets and sometimes 7/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fruit yogurt, low fat without tons of sugar (or chemicals) does not exit in Thailand...not sweet not good for the usual customer as it seems.

And read the label for anything that said "Live Cultures" but didn't see it. If your making more yogurt from it, that's the "proof in the pudding".

dblaisde Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks to all who've replied. Sometimes I feel like Banglampoo is a little village somewhere. No Tops, Makro, Tesco, Foodland, etc. Usually I like that feeling, but sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromanotherforum Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I like Yolida better than Bulgaria, but highly doubt both have a significant amount of bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't be too serious if you can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I like Yolida better than Bulgaria, but highly doubt both have a significant amount of bacteria. Based on how easy it is to make yogurt using them as a starter, they must have. A single spoonful of either one mixed into a quart of milk produces yogurt in less than a day.
