Is yogurt good for acidity and gas?
I often suffer from acidity and gas, especially after spicy food. Someone told me that eating yogurt can help. Is this true, or is it better to avoid it?

For me, dahi (yogurt) sometimes helps, especially when it's just mild acidity. But if the gas is too much or it's a burning sensation, I don't rely on it. Everyone's body is different, so what works for one might not work for another.
Yogurt can be cooling for the stomach, yes. I find that along with a little bit of dahi, practicing some gentle pranayama like anulom vilom really calms my system. It's about balancing your internal fire, you know? See how your body feels after.
Beta, dahi is considered cooling in Ayurveda, so it helps with the pitta dosha which causes acidity. But have it plain, not too cold. A spoonful of fennel seeds (saunf) after meals also helps with gas. Always listen to your body, though.
I have thyroid issues, and sometimes digestion gets affected. While yogurt can be good for general gut health, for persistent acidity or gas, please get it checked. It could be linked to something else. Regular tests and doctor's advice are important.
I used to panic so much whenever I got gas or acidity, thinking it was something serious. My mom always made me eat dahi-chawal. It definitely helped calm things down. Mostly it's normal if you eat something heavy, but if it's constant, then see a doc.
I track my food intake with an app, and I've noticed when I have plain yogurt, my digestion scores are usually better. It has good bacteria. For gas, sometimes drinking enough water and light walks help too. But if symptoms are bad, don't rely on just apps, consult a doc.
Hello! Many people find plain yogurt soothing for acidity because of its probiotics. It helps balance gut bacteria. But make sure it's fresh and homemade if possible, and not the sugary, flavored kind. For gas, sometimes a pinch of black salt or jeera powder with it can help.
Honestly, don't just pick up remedies from here and there on the internet. Acidity and gas can have many reasons. It's best to consult a doctor if it's a recurring issue. They can guide you properly, not some random tip from a forum.
Bro, acidity hit me hard sometimes after spicy food. I tried yogurt, and yeah, it gives some relief. Not a permanent fix though, obviously. Just a quick cool-down if it's not too serious. Otherwise, Eno is faster for me lol.
Hey! Honestly, don't stress too much about every little thing. For mild acidity and gas, yogurt can be a relief. It's a natural probiotic, you know? Just try having a small bowl of plain dahi after your meals and see if it helps you. If not, then think about consulting a doctor.
