Question

Omg!  Completely frustrated!Omg! Completely frustrated! On a strong Antibiotic for ear infection. Figured I’d get a FF vanilla yogurt w probiotics, etc. I nearly died when I saw it’s NINE POINTS for not even one cup?! I CANNOT eat a thing like Okios Triple Zero or anything w Chicory Root, etc. gives me major gastrointestinal issues. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a rock in a hard place. Second guessing WW lately. ☹️

Answer 1

That happened to me with the greek yogurt I was using. I just used my scanner and found that fage was the lowest. I sweeten mine with a couple tablespoons of sugar free pudding mix and fruit.  

Comments

@revive4826 fage 0% is my favorite.  

Answer 2

Try an oral probiotic pill

Comments

@tove I love them.  

---

Just tired of feeling guilt and having to eat ‘less’ because of a minuscule portion on nothing I should feel guilty about.  

---

@tove so don’t feel guilty. Lol. I don’t. track it and keep going

---

@bename not sure how to turn off my guilt switch.  

---

@tove I feel guilty about fried foods. Take out. Pizza. Things I know are unhealthy but eat anyway. I don’t feel guilty about a spray of olive oil or a handful of nuts or a few slices of avocado I added to a salad. U will find what works for you and what doesn’t. Just keep at it! It’s about learning your body and developing better eating habits ❤️

Answer 3

Have you looked at dannon light and fit Greek yogurts?  

Answer 4

Take a probiotic pill that’s what I do.  

Answer 5

Get the Chibani FF plain Greek yogurt, add Splenda and some vanilla flavoring it’s demand 0 points

Answer 6

@tove whenever I’m prescribed a strong antibiotic I request an Rx for Diflucan as well. One pill second day of taking antibiotic and never have an issue.  

Comments

@hg4883 thank God, for whatever reason, the issue that requires treatment w that medicine never becomes an issue for me.  

---

@hg4883 Diflucan is prescribed so women don’t get a yeast infection. Doesn’t have any effect in the gastrointestinal system.  

Answer 7

Yup, I GI problems, too! I have to be really careful. Actually feeling lousy today with GI issues.  

Answer 8

Don't give up. If you quite WW over the 9 points you will still eat the 9 points and not lose the weight. Try a pill instead or eat it and lots of low and 0 points for the rest of the day.  

Answer 9

Unflavored plain Greek yogurt has same probiotics. Add fruit

Answer 10

Blue only allows Greek fat free yogurt for 0 points. I found fage had best taste. In fact I could use it in place of sour cream. It’s low point on green also

Comments

@scamp Are use plain fat-free yogurt in place of sour cream as well for savory dishes

Answer 11

I recommend you take a probiotic while on antibiotics. A good one has multiple strains of bacteria and billions of strains per bacteria.  

Answer 12

O points and delicious!  

Comments

@aristotelianism175 I laugh only because I just got a Costco membership two weeks ago. I’ll have to keep my eye out for that!  

---

@tove its wonferful. I also use it as my sour cream.  

Answer 13

There’s a TON of sugar in the vanilla flavored ones. You need PLAIN for zero points.  

Answer 14

I eat Publix low-fat frozen with active cultures

Answer 15

I add instant pudding mix to nonfat plain yogurt because I can’t eat Greek yogurt

Answer 16

I’m the same. Greek yogurt tears up my stomach

Answer 17

My pediatrician used to recommend acidophilus for my son who had trouble w antibiotics. You can buy at health food store or Whole Foods.  

Comments

@unstuck9 Yes I always take when I need antibiotics!  

Answer 18

WW is a guideline for us. We make our choices. I don’t quite understand about second guessing, they are just providing information.  

Answer 19

I like probiotic cottage cheese mixed with no sugar added fruit. Only 1 point for 1/2 cup serving.  

Answer 20

Sometimes we have to eat what is useful for us but it’s has a defined ending. Trust your body and stick to the plan.  

Answer 21

Do your own! You control the fat and traste great!  

Answer 22

I’m on antibiotics as well and need to eat yogurt as well. I use the activia light for 3 points and it has probiotics. I also take probiotic supplements

Answer 23

I had trouble with this also. Honestly, I put a drop of vanilla extract in plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey. But if that ff vanilla yogurt is the best for you to get the probiotics eat it anyway while taking meds. Don't stress the points. Once you're better then start tracking in a more regimented way.  

Answer 24

Anything fermented has probiotics. Sauerkraut, I eve read tequila has probiotics  

Answer 25

I just buy the full Greek yogurt and add sugar free coffee syrups, I. e. skinny girl, or put stevia with a little vanilla extract.  

Comments

@chamkis I think the winning answer is just to use a little honey or put some Stevia in it because I can’t handle Stevia as a sugar alternative. But that’s about it

---

Whatever works for each individual, I fortunately am not affected by the Stevia, maybe because I have been using sweeteners for so many years.  

---

@chamkis Sorry I am voice texting. That is supposed to say I can handle Stevia. But that is about it

Answer 26

@tove I’m not going to knock WW but I started my diet and eating heathy food low carbs no fat drinking nothing but flavored water I go to my doctor once a month and go for blood work every other month to make sure my levels are where they should be I started my diet June 20 2019 and on @knucklebone 17 I had lost 101 lbs in 7 months sometimes you have to do what you think is best for you everyone is different

Comments

Truth ♥️

---

@tove good luck with your journey

---

@tove you are very welcome feel free to contact me if you need anything or I can help I get weighed again in 2 weeks so I am excited for that

Answer 27

Look up good things to eat. There are dozens of good choices. Try and focus on those. Good luck

Answer 28

Whenever I have to go on antibiotics my Dr tells me to take a daily probiotic

Answer 29

I take pill form probiotics

Answer 30

Have some Bubbies Sauerkraut or Kombucha!  

Answer 31

FF=high sugar=high points

Comments

@cioffred right. If you ask me, anything’diet’ or FF, etc is laden w more garbage

---

@tove true that.  

Answer 32

There is nothing to second guess. You need to determine how you want to use your points. I try to eat my points as healthy as possible.
