I usually have curd and sometimes those probiotic drinks daily. Now im pregnant and confused if the live cultures thing is fine or not. Anyone checked with their doc about this?
My clinical nutritionist at the hospital explicitly approved commercial yogurt and probiotics. Still, you can ask your doctor in your next visit just to be 100% sure.
My tracking app says active cultures in pasteurized foods help boost immunity and prevent yeast infections during pregnancy. It's a great addition to your daily diet.
I am always extra careful about what I eat. For anything containing live active cultures, make sure it is fully pasteurized so there's no risk of any bacterial infection.
I used to check every single label for 'pasteurized' because I was so scared of bad bacteria. If it's a branded yogurt, it's generally safe but avoid unpasteurized local dairy.
