Where do you get whole milk yogurt? I have looked everywhere from WalMart to Earth Fare and none is on the shelf.

I agree with your comments about fat but must be cautious about eating fat for the evening meal because it is indicted in acid reflux. Just today I read this,
The book’s 75 recipes support the message that people should avoid fatty and acidic foods such as chocolate, carbonated beverages, deep fried foods, ribs and coffee. They should instead favor foods such as bananas, grilled or steamed chicken, egg whites and raw or cooked vegetables.

“The diet is a good idea,” Dr. Roy K.H. Wong, the integrated chief of gastroenterology at Walter Reed Army-Navy Medical Center and a professor of medicine, said by phone. “Whenever you eat fatty substances, they stay in the stomach for a longer period of time, and the fat slows down the emptying of the stomach.”
I started a separate thread about fat and acid reflux - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=65762

But I would like to know where to get whole milk yogurt.

HI VVV, I was in Walmart and saw a Dannon Plain with whole milk. It is hard to find because of the lowfat mantra. I was suprised that Stoneyfield's was even low to no fat... which means more carbs.

Yogurt is fairly easy to make your self. Basically warmed up milk with a starter culture which you can get from any live yogurt you buy. Oh and it is much less lactose in it then milk because the heating and fermentation uses it up - which means I can eat it without problems. The tricky part is keeping it warm at the right temperature until its sets.
