Lactose free yogurt anyone? Juicing?

I was just wondering what the experience with lactose free yogurt is around here. Is any brand particularly better than the other for some reason? Sugar content? fat? what should I avoid on the label?
What about juicing? I used to like carrots, beets and an apple in a juicer and it was pretty good...but i started the juicing close to the time when I got my flare, so, I am not sure if it had any impact on it or if it really was just the turmeric and garlic pills for the tooth extraction that made me actually flare.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!

i am a fan of homemade yogurt. i always use cream to make it because it's the most calorie-dense option. fermenting it for 24 hours gets rid of the lactose.

the only lactose free ones would probably be soy or coconut milk products in the store. i haven't eaten packaged yogurt in about 6 years though so i wouldn't be of much help with good brands. there are a lot of additives in yogurt that i avoid.

as for juicing, i used to juice every day for about 4 years. i was a vegan and this was just a big part of my diet. i don't really see it being a bad thing at all if it doesn't bother you. if i were to juice again, i would probably do more low sugar juices.

What juicing is really good for is removing fiber for people whose guts can't handle it.
It's a great way to get high vitamins in an easy to digest form.

I've owned a juicer for a couple years and favor green veggies like collards and wheat grass but carrots are great too.
I stay away from fruit (guts hates most) but will add a little piece of apple sometimes.

Juicing along with chicken broth can give your bowel a rest from working hard breaking down food. Way back I tried intermittent fasting along with juicing and thought it was very gut-friendly.

I am not flaring right now or anything, but I just left the hospital a couple days ago after a long stay, and when I come across any stairs I can barely lift my feet, I am just looking for a boost to kind of get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Gary- idk what made me flare sooooo bad, must be a combination of things, i dont really know. This was my first flare and i was not equipped to deal with it at all. I went straight to the E.R. and stayed in the hospital for almost a month.
I am writing down everything I have been eating and writing down the reactions if any...I ate some peaches from the Dole brand in the clear plastic cups, that was not good at all, really not ok.
I had some rice, tilapia, boiled sweet potatoes and yucca and i will see how that goes, i just miss being able to eat fruits. :( I want to really try papaya soon.

Gary- that was great advice, thank you. I am fairly new to all this, so, I don't understand much of the terms and all that, but I have to catch up quick.
Thank you.

cjcgirl, you can't make yogurt with lactose free milk since the bugs would have nothing to grow on. As others have mentioned most of the lactose is consumed by the yogurt live cultures depending on how long you ferment.

juice away ! I doubt that it had anything to do with your flare - I always juice when i'm working through a flare - easy to digest with lots of nutrients - and it tastes yummy !

DMC- i just tried it now..waiting to see how it digests...thanks!!! Very hopeful about this :)

I think I won't be juicing...I am too scared for that right now...As far as liquids go I am just on water and peach clear ensure...nothing else. I ate the yogurt an hour ago and it seems to be okay.
