TLDR
In this article, a composition for restoring and maintaining gastrointestinal health comprises 40-60% by weight of an immunoglobulin composition comprising concentrated immunologically active Immunoglobulins and 40 -60% of soluble dietary fiber selected from inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, pectin, guar gum, and mixtures thereof.Abstract:
A composition for restoring and maintaining gastrointestinal health comprises 40-60% by weight of an immunoglobulin composition comprising concentrated immunologically active immunoglobulins and 40-60% by weight of soluble dietary fiber selected from inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, pectin, guar gum, and mixtures thereof. The immunoglobulin and fiber-containing composition can optionally contain one or more of a beneficial human intestinal microorganism, components of a non-immune natural defense system, an iron-sequestering molecule, and gluconic acid. Preferred beneficial human intestinal microorganisms include lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. The immunologically active immunoglobulins are preferably purified from bovine milk, milk products, or whey. Methods of use are also described.read more

Yogurt — An Autodigesting Source of Lactose
TL;DR: The enhanced absorption of lactose in yogurt appeared to result from the intraintestinal digestion of lactase by lactase released from the yogurt organisms, which makes yogurt a well-tolerated source of milk for lactase-deficient persons and may explain the widespread consumption of yogurt by lactasesdeficient population groups.
