Activia did not invent yogurt!

That is all it is: yogurt.

For years I have been treating runny stool disorder with just whatever yogurt was on sale. Yes, it works if lack of healthy bacteria is the reason for the runny stool disorder. In the first world, taking oral antibiotics like penicillin, ampacillin, amoxicillin (any cillin) is the most common cause of the kind of runny stool disorder that yogurt treats.

Actually, I have never personally tried Activia, but I could not resist answering a question that includes the phrase, "long intestinal transit."

Seriously though, one of my sisters and my mom eat Activia and they claim that it has helped them.

I tried it, but maybe not long enough to make any real difference. I don't think the yogurt alone is going to make a very significant difference, though yogurt in general is good for you. Having a healthy digestion system requires overall healthy eating, fiber, etc. I suppose the yogurt could be a part of that, but only a part.
