Anyone eat this? Does it give you stomach cramps?

It gave my mom horrible cramps and she threw all of it in the trash.

It made me spent FAR too much time in the bathroom. I swear it's got Ex-Lax in it.

I tried it once. I threw the other containers that came in the pak away.

 

[frostywolf]

Tried it. Regretted it.

Oh, Cr*p!! (Pun intended.)

Guess I'm in for a bumpy ride. Darn you, Jamie Lee Curtis, and your highly effective marketing skills.

Well, it works great for some people because I see it in my work refrigerator all the time. But it's definitely not for me.

I tried it for a couple of days and it didn't taste good to me. Just not sweet enough. Guess I'm lucky that I didn't keep eating it anyway!

I *loved* the SNL Activia parody commercial they did a season or two ago... I can't link to video here at work, but just Google "SNL activia commercial" and you'll find it. So funny.

I've never tried the stuff myself, but I've heard too many stories about it to make me want to try it...

I never had a problem with Activia. It worked great for me!

If you are not used to probiotics, eating a lot of it at once could really upset your stomach. I have never tried Activia (contains aspertame), but I do eat Greek yogurt every day and also take probiotic pills. I am so used to probiotics it take A LOT of it to upset my tummy!

My mom was in the hospital for a week this month with Colitis and when she got out her gastro Dr told her she had to eat Activia every day....working fine for her.

I eat it everyday. I love it! I cannot eat the fiber one bars though--they tear my stomach up bad!

Same here! I always felt sick after eating one of those.

I've never had a problem with it. I actually like the taste. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Thanks for telling me it has Aspertame. Otherwise, I may have been tempted to try it.

 

[nephthys43]

i love it!!! lol not for it's amazing bathroom properties, cause it does nothing for me, but because of the taste. i hate really sweet things. activia is the only yogurt i've found that tastes slightly sour to me and i adore it!

I eat it most days, but not the Light version. I eat the regular because I can't stand the taste or "feel" of fake sweeteners in anything.

The regular doesn't have Aspartame in it. I just looked at the ingredients on mine. I like the taste better than any other yogurt I've ever tried. And it has really helped me with no negative side effects, and I have a pretty sensitive system.

It could be the probiotics that cause problems for some people, but it could also just be the artificial sweeteners in the Light version that give some people problems.

I love the regular blueberry and cherry flavors best. But even the regular vanilla flavor was surprisingly good to me.

What I can't figure out is why it's always just women that they advertise to .

I love Activa. I've tried the yogurt parfaits and dessert yogurt without any issues.
