For me I always have loose stools in the beginning. But after eating activia for a couple days it all becomes better than before I even started eating it.

They make Activia seem soooooo healthy for you when in fact it contains high fructose corn syrup and milk from cows that are treated with anti-biotics (yikes).
You're better off going to a health food store and buying probiotics. I live gas free and have a regular BM every morning like clock work Thanks to probiotics i take in capsule form and it keeps in my fridge .
Pretty much everything that is advertised on television is poison if you really read the ingredients. If you cant pronounce it DONT EAT IT!

I have activa in my fridge. I only take it on a full stomach. Actually i tried every day for about one week and it resulted in loose bowels. This only replaces the intestinal flora that is lost. It also has sugar in it. Be careful how much you eat.:O)
