Hello, Anon! Thank you for writing.
A UTI or urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra.
Probiotics, such as lactobacillus acidophilus, contain colonies of good bacteria. Evidence suggests that probiotics may help prevent UTIs by keeping bad bacteria from growing in the vagina. Probiotics are available in supplements as well as yogurt.
Here are some common brands of yogurt that have lactobacillus acidophilus:
Chobani
Dannon
Yoplait
Fage
Stonyfield
Siggi
In order to help differentiate between brands containing live cultures and those that don’t, the National Yogurt Association (NYA) has created a “live and active cultures” seal. Look for it on the container.
