Can you think of another health condition that might benefit from medicinal yogurt? by Bauman College

Digestive diseases because all of them have to do with the health of our gut. Probiotics and the benefits from yogurt can benefit our gut health.

2020-04-12 12:49:31 UTC

Inflammatory conditions

2020-04-15 01:23:58 UTC

Such as dermatitis, eczema, or other autoimmune responses (unless that the autoimmune response is to dairy in which case opt for a coconut yogurt!)

Anxiety or Depression

2020-04-15 04:49:11 UTC

If good bacteria signals your brain to release GABA, then maybe it will help fight this disorders.

Alzheimer's, Liver Disease and Other Diseases Associated with Depression

2020-05-06 18:25:17 UTC

Both of these chronic diseases are examples of diseases with depression manifestations that accompany them. In short, some health conditions may be benefited more than others, but an increase in positive mood could assist in dealing with a wide array of health conditions.

Age-Related Dementia

2020-07-12 20:09:44 UTC

I wonder if age-related dementia has anything to do with changes to our gut micro biome as we age

Parkinson's and Alzheimers

2020-07-14 01:20:12 UTC

2020-07-14 21:11:29 UTC

ADHD and learning differences?

Autism

2020-07-14 22:27:32 UTC

there is a large gut connection to autism, so yogurt that aide the micro biome of the gut may be beneficial

ANXIETY

2020-07-21 03:03:51 UTC

The good bacteria in yogurt helps with calming effects and by reason should help with anxiety.

Alzheimers/Dementia

laurelkurland — 2020-11-26 01:35:15 UTC

Anything at all dealing with memory or the brain could be alleviated or potentially prevented with adequate healthy gut bacteria.

Improve memory function.

'The Next Great Frontier in Life-Saving Medicine'

2020-12-01 19:19:50 UTC

Depression might be alleviated from eating medicinal yoghurt. This could be achieved since there is evidence that there is a benefit to your well-being and mood via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The lactobacillus helveticus in medicinal yoghurt is an example of microbes that using this axis can create this positive feeling for us. (American Gut Project - Rob Knight)

parkinsons disease, as there has been evidence that 75% of patients have gut issues. Also, MS and other autoimmune disorders.

2020-12-01 23:03:05 UTC

Ulcerative Colitis

kimcourtney818 — 2020-12-08 00:14:45 UTC

My son suffers from UC and sleep issues due to his IBD, homemade greek yogurt or medicinal yogurt could be beneficial to aide the gut and inflammation of the gut. I also read an article that yogurt can also assist with sleep since it also contains an amino acid called tryptophan which could help you feel drowsier at bedtime. Eating Tryptophan converts into serotonin and melatonin which may assist in a better nights sleep

Mental health related conditions like ADHD, bipolar. Maybe even Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

2020-12-08 22:31:15 UTC

Parkinsons

2021-03-23 19:42:10 UTC

Many have evidence of gut issues as early as ten years prior to experiencing symptoms of Parkinsons.

really everything that has to do with mental health, anxiety, depression..

2021-03-24 18:54:19 UTC

Anxiety

2021-03-25 17:43:15 UTC

Perhaps the serotonin will be better utilized by the gut-brain axis if we eat more medicinal yogurt.

Dementia/Memory functioning

2021-03-26 17:38:28 UTC

Low stomach acid associated with aging can influence the microbiome, as can less diverse diets.

alopecia

2021-03-26 18:01:20 UTC

auto immune condition like alopecia can perhaps be addressed one day using medicinal yogurt.

Any & All Disorders!

2021-03-26 19:42:47 UTC

It's possible that using probiotics can help alleviate all mental disorders like anxiety, depression, PTSD since the bugs can communicate with the brain and tell the brain to release certain chemicals to counteract the bodies stress response.

Diabetes

2021-03-27 18:40:45 UTC

I believe medicinal yogurt can help regulate insulin levels of a diabetic individual.

depression, chronic inflammation.

2021-03-27 18:47:16 UTC

colon cancer comes to mind, crohns disease. I could see it being incredibly beneficial across the board.

2021-03-28 05:14:03 UTC

Nearly all!

2021-03-28 18:41:06 UTC

I believe most all of the major health concerns today can be prevented, cured, and relieved by supporting a diverse microbiome in ourselves.

when I was a child , any time that I was sick my mother fed me yogurt and this continues on.

2021-03-30 03:33:57 UTC

It increases the diversity of microbes of gut flora and can heal mostly autoimmune diseases.

2021-03-30 07:03:41 UTC

Insomnia

2021-03-31 03:00:24 UTC

Bc yogurt is rich in vitamin D and minerals like calcium, magnesium, I believe it could help achieve better sleep.

hypertension

2021-03-31 20:55:04 UTC

Autoimmune Conditions

2021-06-11 20:42:54 UTC

I think yogurt can help with antibiotic use if you are forced to take it because of an infection.

2021-06-15 16:07:37 UTC

Depression

2021-06-15 17:01:57 UTC

Using medicinal yogurt helps the feed the gut in turn produces serotonin which helps keep mood levels from becoming too low. How wonderful would it be to treat depression with food!

OCD, PTSD, and entire anxiety spectrum

2021-06-15 21:31:00 UTC

Parkinsons!

2021-06-15 23:21:19 UTC

anxiety and depression

2021-06-16 05:39:54 UTC

obstinate defiance

2021-06-16 06:04:46 UTC

mitigating humans self regulation through food. I see it. I feel it, cause i eat it. I see many clients who have quite a few behaviors- from sad to mad- and then say "oh i havent eaten. But i've had an energy drink!"

depression

2021-09-17 21:42:14 UTC

basically all mental health disorders

2021-09-17 23:38:00 UTC

2021-09-21 16:26:38 UTC

I would say mental health, depression, PTSD, post partum depression, and lately everyday life. we go through so much mentally and it efffects our overall health. If something as simple as medical yogurt could help sign me up.

2021-09-22 02:31:19 UTC

Arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's

Probably depression and digestive disorders!

2021-09-22 02:55:14 UTC

anxiety, depression and the majority of mental health conditions and so many more conditions

2021-09-22 07:27:03 UTC

well, maybe if we use it primitively, it can just be used as a preventative to all sorts of hereditary dispositions. Like if you know that you have a disorder that is caused by an imbalance in the microbiome, you start your children off right by feeding their gut biome and giving their bodies the tools they need to fight off these diseases.

2021-10-01 18:08:03 UTC

2021-12-07 20:01:35 UTC

Depression, mental health, sleep disorders might improve since your serotonin levels would increase.

any digestive disease

2021-12-10 16:33:07 UTC

Autism

2021-12-13 18:39:51 UTC

Arthritis

2021-12-14 05:26:15 UTC

depression and anxiety

2021-12-14 22:03:02 UTC

Dementia

2021-12-15 01:06:09 UTC

Curious whether medicinal yogurt could help prevent dementia and memory loss.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease, help soothe and recolonize

2021-12-15 04:41:48 UTC

Anger

fredolua — 2021-12-15 07:33:21 UTC

Anger issues is a big one that no one has mentioned. Many of us get hangry, and some are hangry all the time from not eating correctly.

Addiction?

2022-03-22 22:01:51 UTC

I'm not sure if there is any link between addiction issues and microbiome or gut health, but I hope that something comes along to help treat it.

Digestive disorders

2022-03-27 00:48:09 UTC

Many of the digestive orders we have been learning about could be helped by increasing the "good" gut bacteria leading to healthier and stronger intestines.

2022-03-27 15:30:36 UTC

digestive disorders!!

Postpartum Depression

2022-03-29 18:10:08 UTC

Moms in general struggle with so much, especially without a good support system. It can be hard to make time to take care of ourselves, because we are so busy taking care of everyone and everything else. This can cause a variety of mental health issues, like anxiety, depression, anger. Our nutrition can be moved to the back burner. Medicinal yogurt may be able to help with that, as it would be easy to obtain and take/eat every day.

Schizophrenia I hope.

2022-04-10 17:33:37 UTC

Negativity, irrational behavior, anger

2022-06-23 22:26:13 UTC

Since yogurt seems to have calming affect and reduces stress I would think it could help with negativity, irritability leading to anger and irrational behaviors. If people could stay calm and think clearly I think they could handle challenging situations better and problem solve instead of reacting irresponsibily and say something or doing something they might regret.

Anxiety due to its calming effect

2022-06-26 18:54:58 UTC

Positive Yogurt

2022-06-26 21:03:30 UTC

I am not a big fan of yogurt but if there is a medicinal yogurt that can help with anxiety and stress, then I will start eating it more frequently.

Multiple Sclerosis

2022-06-28 01:25:57 UTC

As someone who has multiple sclerosis, I would love to see a more in-depth study done on how the bacteria in the gut can act in the same way as the disease modifying medications that are currently used. These medications come with a slew of side effects and are insanely expensive, but if a connection can be made with the gut bacteria that can help defend the body from attacking itself, specifically the myelin sheath of the CNS. There is an "MS diet" that is out there, but I think that a much more in-depth look at the microbiombe of the gut would be a way to inform the eating habits of persons with MS
Also, knowing that serotonin lives predominantly in the stomach, and that stress is a key trigger for MS relapses, a medicinal yogurt that stimulates the transfer of serotonin to the brain instead of again taking pharmaceuticals that have some unwanted side effects.

Increase healthy gut bacteria!

2022-06-28 01:56:09 UTC

All the Cancers

2022-07-05 18:28:34 UTC

To keep mutualistic bacteria in your gut therefore the microbiome stays balanced.

2022-07-17 22:45:28 UTC

Increase Gut Bacteria!

2022-09-26 22:36:31 UTC

I don't trust medicine.

2022-09-27 17:43:39 UTC

I don't trust the idea of adding medicine to food. Leave food alone.

Possibly all diseases

2023-01-02 22:15:48 UTC

Since the microbiome is all over the outside and inside of our bodies, it could be possible the right "probiotic" could help treat any disease in the future...

Digestive disease

2023-01-03 21:23:29 UTC

Parkinson’s Disease

2023-01-09 01:25:46 UTC

When reading that 70% of Parkinson’s patients suffer from gastrointestinal illness, it makes sense to use a medicinal yoghurt as a therapy, preferably in th early stages.

Medical Yogurt

2023-01-11 03:53:56 UTC

It can help with constipation and yeast infection .

Digestive Disorders!

2023-04-11 20:53:17 UTC

Digestive Problems

2023-04-15 14:47:43 UTC

Yogurt can help keep your microbiome balanced and happy

So many things!

2023-04-16 19:47:29 UTC

Everything starts in the gut! I think that restoring and balancing the bacteria in the gut, so many illnesses and diseases could be eliminated.

Strengthen the immune system

leilamirzai — 2023-04-18 04:31:53 UTC

Medicinal yogurt may also help slow the loss of nerve cells in the brain of dementia patients.

2023-04-18 06:25:08 UTC

Autism induced anxiety

2023-07-08 20:09:30 UTC

Using medicinal yogurt in a daily diet to temper/reduce anxiety in Autistic individuals.

DEPRESSION, STRESS, ANXIETY...MENTAL HEALTH.

2023-07-09 15:20:09 UTC

DEPRESSION..medicinal yogurt could help with serotonin levels. Also, stress and anxiety.

ADD

2023-07-10 15:48:00 UTC

skin problems, depression

2023-07-18 18:41:23 UTC

good bacteria needed

mental health

2023-08-20 22:12:25 UTC

I would think this would help with depression, anxiety, stress,
etc..

Better mood and overall balanced mindset.

2023-10-02 01:42:45 UTC

Not only could it help improve psychological disorders like depression and anxiety, but it could help improve digestion disorders as well like IBS.

2023-10-03 04:20:19 UTC

Schizophrenia

2023-10-03 22:05:15 UTC

Since this yogurt can produce effects of reducing anxiety, stress and increasing resiliency, it would be interesting to see how a product like this could help with someone who suffers from Schizophrenia. Since patients suffering from Schizophrenia typically suffers from alot of stress related issues and anxiety a product like this could help them build more resiliency to their mental illness.

Depresion

2024-01-20 01:59:52 UTC

Digestive disorders

2024-01-20 23:46:44 UTC

2024-01-21 01:55:12 UTC

Anxiety and overall stress. With the probiotics feeding and nourishing our gut, serotonin will be produced, as it goes in and out of neurons. The vagus nerve will then communicate it to our brain to chill out, stay calm.

Potentially....

2024-01-24 05:17:03 UTC

Any nervous system disorders. Like PTSD, anxiety and bipolar. Maybe not a magic bullet, but it would help lessen the severity of symptoms to help other therapy be even more effective! If you brain and gut are not on fire from inflammation, its inevitable for things to start looking up.

Heart Conditions

2024-04-16 18:44:27 UTC

I think some heart conditions, like high blood pressure, could be alleviated by better gut function. I think increasing the diversity and health of the gut microbiome will strengthen the immune system and allow many of the body systems to not have to work so hard to maintain a healthy body. For example: if someone has anxiety that is brought on by high blood pressure, both the digestion of foods into short chain fatty acids that bacteria provide can assist in healing and protecting arteries, and the increase in serotonin can ease the body's responses to stressors.

Benefits of Medicinal Yogurt?

2024-04-17 14:33:41 UTC

I think this is a very interesting topic. Psychological disorders from anxiety, depression, postpartum, PTSD, etc. are all most likely affected by certain bacteria in our gut. I think exploring the affects probiotics have our our behavior is definitely worth exploring.

Anxiety

2024-04-21 14:14:44 UTC

Inflammatory Conditions

2024-04-22 21:55:26 UTC

If gut health is tied to overall physical and mental health, then it may be possible that developing "medicinal yogurt" with specific strains of good bacteria that are identified to be deficient or missing from a person's gut could one day help treat or prevent some or many of the chronic inflammatory conditions that are so prevalent in society today. Conditions such like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's, depression just to name a few.

Probably everything. Happy tummy happy healthy life

2024-04-26 05:51:05 UTC

Lactose intolerance

2024-04-26 08:01:01 UTC

Coconut and almond milk yogurt aren't cultured the same way are regular yogurt but are still beneficial especially to those who can't consume dairy but still want a healthy yogurt intake

2024-10-09 19:18:46 UTC

Listening to this podcast, I am thinking about the ramifications for those wrestling with PTSD - those who find themselves overwhelmed with stress responses stemming from historical events. This could help them gain more emotional resiliency and be better able to work through their trauma and find deep peace.

Immune system

2024-10-15 23:25:11 UTC

IBS

2024-10-16 02:38:58 UTC

Another health condition that might benefit from medicinal yogurt is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is often associated with gut health issues such as imbalances in the gut microbiome, inflammation, and poor digestion. Since medicinal yogurt could be formulated with specific probiotics and nutrients to support gut health, it might help regulate the gut microbiota, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion, potentially alleviating IBS symptoms like bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel movements. By targeting the gut-brain axis, this approach could also help manage the stress and anxiety that often accompany IBS.

Acid reflux

2025-04-15 19:35:51 UTC

Stress relaxes the spincter that allows stomach acid up into our esophagus. If yogurt can reduce stress, it reduces GERD.

Depression!

2025-04-21 01:09:31 UTC

Emotional state

2025-04-21 01:54:18 UTC

Probiotics help to feed the gut good bacteria, in turn making for a healthy gut, therefore leading to healthy brain function, including emotional state.

2025-04-21 14:47:06 UTC

Depression and anxiety

IBS

2025-04-23 03:03:29 UTC

Yogurt introduces healthy bacteria that can rebalance your gut

Dementia

2025-04-25 18:10:57 UTC

knowing how the gut affects the brain I'm thinking we could use it to improve memory and help reduce dementia in people

Alzheimer's

2025-04-29 06:07:12 UTC

2025-07-17 22:51:07 UTC

Medicinal yogurt can be great for gut health in general and prevent inflammation aka bloating

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

2025-09-18 01:56:07 UTC

Yogurt can help balance our microbiome

Chronic Stress

2025-09-24 01:25:44 UTC

2025-12-17 16:37:01 UTC

Borderline personality emotions. Probiotics would calm us through that Gaba produced from the bacteria.

Parkinson's

2025-12-20 01:54:57 UTC

hyperkeratosis

2026-01-07 04:07:52 UTC

definitely anxiety

2026-03-26 15:55:13 UTC

I think it would have a huge impact on overall anxiety levels, which would help millions of people live peaceful lives!

2026-03-27 02:58:08 UTC

I think irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) might benefit from medicinal yogurt. Since IBS is closely connected to the gut microbiome, adding specific beneficial bacteria could help improve the balance of gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and possibly calm the communication between the gut and the brain. Because the lesson also explains that gut bacteria can influence stress, mood, and digestive function through the gut-brain axis, medicinal yogurt could potentially help with both digestive symptoms and the stress-related side of IBS.

MS

2026-03-31 05:47:06 UTC

I think that MS, a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system, would benefit from medical yogurt.

Vaginal Health

2026-03-31 16:48:55 UTC

Studies show that daily consumption of yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus can lead to a threefold decrease in recurrent yeast infections. It works!

For the best results, use plain, unsweetened yogurt. Added sugars can actually feed yeast and make infections worse.

Yogurt

2026-03-31 22:59:44 UTC

I would say that for females, vaginal health is a whole extra microbiome we have to worry about. Eating yogurt, fermented foods, and fermented drinks like kombucha you are able to stabilize both microbiomes so that you do not have an imbalance in your vaginal bacteria and have issues like yeast imbalance.
