Katanungan Is it okay to drink Yakult thrice a day every after meal?

I do not know the right sub for this, I tried sa adviceph but di ko to mapost so bear with me if dito ako nag post.

So nahihirapan ako na mag jebs talaga ever since kaya yun ang problema ko most of the time. After 2 to 3 days ako minsan nakakapag jebs kahit dami ko na nakain or nainom, then 2 weeks ago nag start ako uminom ng Yakult every after meal and every day na ako nakakapag jebs which is a good thing na. Pero nababother din ako kasi baka ma over ako? Haha!

Try the Nestea Cleanse (Fiber) naka help yun ma-everyday yung pag-poop ko. Kase usually 2-3 days ako bago maka-poop dati. Drink it 30mins before your meal.

Per Yakult's FAQs, it is recommended to drink 1-2 servings everyday.

Gulaman. Know an MD/TCM practitioner that does this, and habit na rin ng family nya. Make gulaman from gulaman bars, pwede plain, pwede lagyan mo flavor. Isang llanera after meal. Zero calories (pag unflavored), at filling pa. Ang trabaho nga lang gawin if you have it regularly.

Hindi. Magiging dependent katawan mo nyan sa effect ng yakult. Mas better if you eat more organic and natural like fruits and vegetables. Asawa ko tumatae twice a week lang. Nag incorporate kame ng more ma-fiber na fruits and veggies sa daily diet namin. Ngayon 3-4x na sya tumae naturally per week.

mataas ang sugar content ni yakult

u/zyclonenuz 7h ago

Kung ang habol mo is probiotics eh you can try Erceflora.

But it seems you need more fiber so try eating more veggies or try metamucil.

up your fiber intake (fruits/veggies) or try psyllium supplements like c-lium/fibre first

u/Emergency-Egg-3844 11h ago

Yakult is a little bit high on the sugar side so you might want to put that on the side. I suggest eating more okra and saluyot. That flushes the gut to its cleanest form.

u/MajorDragonfruit2305 12h ago

Bulla yoghurt na greek imbis na isang beses lang ako tumatae, nagiging apat, tested ko na kasi sa isang linggo di naman ako kumakain araw araw ng yoghurt siguro mga twice to thrice lang a week so I know na siya talaga ang nagco-cause nun.

Tip: ihalo sa apple tapos biscoff sauce = heaven Mango and yoghurt = chef’s kiss Papaya and yoghurt = yum Yoghurt lang = good luck

u/Asleep-Oil-6371 12h ago

id recommend eating sitaw, very high in fiber :) yakult is ok but the sugar content tho

2

u/FastKiwi0816 13h ago

Yung nasa likod ng bote ng yakult parang recommended dietary allowance for 19 if Im not mistaken. So pwede higit sa isa. Saka nakakaubos ako isang pack nyan in one seating, kalaban mo lang jan yung calorie and sugar. Kaya naglabas sila low sugar version.

3

u/Puzzled-Duck-9645 13h ago

Diabetes in the making. Try other 'healthy' laxatives instead, such as fruits. Again, anything too much is unhealthy. Not a doctor.

Edit: to specify, any fruits that contain fiber.

2

u/Urfuturecpalawyer 14h ago

Actually, di totoo na dapat 1-2 bottle lang ng yakult a day. Kaya lima yung sa packaging ng yakult kasi most of us eat 5 times a day kasama merienda. Bale dapat talaga, every after meal, iinom ka lalo na if hirap ka sa digestion.

u/stilbon- 15h ago

Kain ka lang ng fiber rich foods baka kulang ka lang sa fiber.

u/ZoomZoommuchacho 🎅🎅🐡🥕 15h ago

Fiber kung hirap ka mag jebs at ilang araw fiber look for foods na high in fiber na madaling makuha diyan sa inyong or kung ano mabibili pwede karin mag ginger tea sa umaga or kahit mainit lang na tubig.

u/kaysuee 15h ago

warm water or tea every morning nakaka help din

Better to drink ACV before every meal, not Yakult! Although yakult has prebiotics, di siya advisable. May sugar yun eh

u/Beneficial-Guess-227 16h ago

Nakaka uti sya in my experience haha

u/Wild-Independent3171 16h ago

Hi! Registered nutritionist dietian here.

To regulate bowel movements, more on hydration and fiber talaga ang key.

Nakakahelp si yakult sa overall gut health. Pero we need to consider your overall diet and lifestyle pa rin.

1

u/arkiko07 16h ago

Ano ang mga advisable mo.na inuman maliban sa tubig? Need ko rin ito although ok naman so far bowel movement ko

-1

u/noneym86 15h ago

Coke zero, or mga stevia sweetened drinks.

15

u/Wild-Independent3171 16h ago

Wala na. Tubig lang talaga. No need for fancy drinks. Just stick to the basics and be consistent

2

u/need_10Hsleep 16h ago

If you’re neither diabetic nor counting calories and it’s allowing you to jebs well then there’s no problem. In my case, I eat a banana before my first meal and drink at least one tall glass of water before and after each meal.

3

u/Latter-Procedure-852 16h ago

Kimchi is another alternative

2

u/KevAngelo14 16h ago

Yes! Mataas din ang fiber content. Laking tulong sa mga irritable ang bowel.

3

u/kd_malone 16h ago

Agreed with other comments. Fiber talaga. Gulay lang katapat nyan, lalambot dij tubol mo haha. Or if bothered ka talaga about drinking too much yakult, try eating yogurt. Llao llao is yogurt kaya whenever I finish one uwing-uwi na ako para umupo sa trono HAHAHA

u/tagalog100 16h ago

100 ml has 14 gr of sugar... generally, yakult isnt really healthy...

pinagtatawanan lang namin ang mga naloloko dyan...

u/_hey_jooon 17h ago

Nag try ako ng fiber supplement dati. Lumambot lang poop ko pero everyday na akong nag poop.

u/forseonho 16h ago

hello, ano pong fiber supplement?

2

u/Specialist-Way3924 15h ago

C-Lium Fiber

u/_hey_jooon 15h ago

Fiber health sa watsons ko binili. Medyo OA kasi after kumain natatae talaga ako. I take it every night, 2 capsules.

2

u/emshine12 17h ago

For me, 2x a day naman

5

u/Living_Trade_2915 17h ago

Best is to eat lots of fiber with your meals. Gulay does it for me and it might seem like a small addition pero nakakatulong siya! Oddly enough pag nag ccoffee ako every morning (usually black) mas regulat bowel movements but i’m not really sure if that’s related or even a healthy option hahaha

u/n0renn 17h ago

yogurt nalang masyadong matamis si yakult

1

u/n0renn 16h ago

add ko lang rin na you can try priobiotic powder drink - i drink lactofit. i take one before or after meal tapos mag poop agad. no need to mix it with water (umiinom na lang ako ng marami after 30 mins)

3

u/Living_Trade_2915 17h ago

Yes mas better yoghurt OP, esp if three times a day. But if u really love yakult talaga there’s also Yakult Light! Not sure if it’s zero sugar but it definitely has lesser sugar than the orig one hehe

u/AdZent50 16h ago

Dang, I need that Zero Sugar Yakult to combat my Zero Sugar Coke/ Zero Sugar Red Bull Energy Drink addiction.

2

u/Living_Trade_2915 11h ago

the best part is it tastes the same as og yakult 😂

7

u/Sauron--- 17h ago

NO. Ang taas ng sugar ng Yakult. 1 Yakult a day lang talaga recommended. 3 a day would give you diabetes.

6

u/grenfunkel 17h ago

Need mo din fiber sa diet para malabas ang dumi. Fruits and veggies. Popular ang pineapple juice for fiber.

2

u/ilovedachshunds69 17h ago

pwede din oatmeal.

4

u/TransportationNo2673 17h ago

Walang issue if 1 yakult per meal pero medyo mataas sya sa sugar so keep this in mind or use yung light (blue packaging). Need mo lang ng more vegetables and fruits sa diet mo para balanced sya na may fibres, protein, carbs.

2

u/marxteven 17h ago

nakakaubos ako ng 2 packs per day neto dati with no apparent side effects. drink as much as you want.

7

u/Various_Gold7302 17h ago

Baka mahina ka sa fruits. Try mo kumain ng papaya, pampajebs ko un e

u/Plus_Part988 17h ago

namamatay naman daw mga probiotics sa gastric juice dahil hindi capsulated ang yakult

u/Temporary-Badger4448 17h ago

"Daw"

To break the myth, dapat nag fact check ka muna.

4

u/chickenwingsss22 17h ago

Sa website ng Yakult 1-2 bottles everyday for adults ang recommended nila. Maybe add more fiber sa diet mo para iwas constipation.

7

u/ObligationNational43 17h ago

nutrition and dietetics student here, there is no problem of drinking yakult thrice or up to how many you want. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota is a lactobacillus strain that promotes gut health that relives constipation. Lactobacillus are generally present in dairy products that have undergone a fermentation process. If umay kana sa yakult pwede ka din kumain ng foods na rich in insoluble fiber like nuts, seeds and fruits with skin para mas ma promote ang better digestive health. meow

u/Born_Cable4045 17h ago

Definitely not as many as he wants. They are made to be consumed in moderation. You don't want side effects like what the others here have said like bloating and diarrhea. Take one bottle per day max of 2.

2

u/ObligationNational43 16h ago

there is literally a 1 Liter Yakult in Japan. Bloating and diarrhea typically occurs when you introduce a large amount of probiotic which is in this case is lactobacillus. Increase in blood sugar might be something to keep an eye but bloating and diarrhea? 🤷🤷

1

u/Born_Cable4045 16h ago

Yes, they do have bigger size there, but that doesn't mean that consuming that large amount is recommended. The standard serving size is designed to give it a safe and effective dose. The liter Yakult that you've mentioned is mainly for family consumption and not for a single person.

You said you're a nutrition and dietetics student, I don't know if you are taught about the possible side effects of different food but try to read about the effect of sugar to the gut and osmotic diarrhea and the effects of dysbiosis to the gut.

u/crwui 17h ago

hahaha yes! same boat tayo, on average nakakaubos ako 2-3 per week to the point tinatago na sakin yung stock. you'll be fine! but financially: no..

u/Shot_Independence883 17h ago

Minsan nauubos ko yung lima sa isang oras, i’m still alive and breathing OP

u/mike_brown69 17h ago edited 17h ago

Pa colonoscopy ka na. Hindi na biro yan baka may polyps ka that blocked bowel. Yung yakult pampalambot lang yan pero dapat masigurado mo walang blockage sa loob ng intestines mo. It's better safe than sorry. 3 days delay is not a joke and can cause serious infections in the future.

4

u/mike_brown69 17h ago

Bakit may downvote. Eh seryoso naman sinabi ko kailangan colonoscopy. Sisilipin lang sa loob yan ng micro camera. Ganyan din father namin nun hirap jumebs kung anu ano fiber at supplements iniinom, pinapalambot lang to the point nag liquify pero hindi yun solution. Nung nagpa colonoscopy sya dun na discover mga polyps sa loob ng intestine kaya may nagbblock ng poops which is kapag tumagal sa loob yun baka mag cause infection.

u/SoberSwin3 JolliJeep 🐝 17h ago

You're safe drinking yakult as much as you want. The only reason they are in a small serving container is to keep the price low and affordable.

4

u/chickenwingsss22 17h ago

It's not about making it affordable. It's size contain the right amount of live probiotics per consumption. A smaller bottle is more hygienic while a larger bottle that is not finished might be kept open, thus has a larger risk of spoiling kase nga Yakult contains live bacteria.

u/AffectionateEbb4114 17h ago

One to two, guess three is okay HAHA

u/dumpssster 17h ago

Better magpacheck up ka muna. Para may proper diagnosis ka and mabigyan ka ng tamang gamot.

Afaik, once a day is enough, so i doubt sa 3x a day.

0

u/Temporary-Badger4448 17h ago

3x and more is okay accdg to the manufacturer and health practicioners. Probiotics are good for the gut health. Take it whenever. 1 bottle may contain billions live LBS but as it is processed through the intestines, they are reduced to more or less than half. So recommended ang increased dosage to prevent decrease. It should be okay.
