    Last year, I started eating Activia regularly because I thought it was good for my diet but then it actually gave me digestive problems, of the worst kind. I thought I was developing hemmorhoids, sorry TMI but ever since I stopped eating it, I've been fine with no problems! I knew something was up with this stuff! :[

    Thing is, pretty much any yogurt can help get you regular again...they just gave their active cultures a special magical name and pretended it was better than the stuff that's in every other brand of yogurt, so they could charge you more for it.

    But I also had a constipation problem. I reduced the amount of milk and cheese I eat (drink a glass of soy milk every day instead), and eat yogurt with granola every morning. Regular as clockwork now.

    @Blitzgal: Yep, I remember freshman year I ate one everyday at lunch (fear of other things in the dining hall really) and it was literally clockwork, just as you say ..

    This ends my poop sharing for the day.

    It's almost like the FDA's gaping loopholes regarding the claims that people can make regarding drugs and treatments are actually harmful.

    Activia is scary. I don't have digestive troubles but once accidentally ate some. Then I had digestive troubles.

    Yeah, but in the commercial it doesn't REALLY say what it's for. It doesn't say "it makes you poop." It just implies it's good for your belly...so I can see how people are confused. PS...is there a real market for the chronically constipated? Does anyone else know a middle-aged woman with this problem?

    @PoisonPixie: YES, and most sufferers are women (most ads for stuff like this is aimed at women for that reason: they are the market). It really, really sucks. I have literally gone to the hospital with constipation. It is the second most pain I have ever been in and when you consider that the first worst is a chronic neurological syndrome then you know it’s bad. (Also, I'm only 26.)

    I was hoping the poop yogurt would be a passing thing for her.... so to speak...

    @Chamalla, now gainfully employed: I have trouble forgiving her for Freak Friday; which has the same affect as Activia on me.

    I don't remember Activia pretending to be Pepto Bismol, though in that ad it does look that way.
