Thank for the post specifying the key bacteria. The label on my goat yogurt does list thermophilus, delbrueckii and bulgaricus in addition to bifido. I wrote to the company to request the testing but have not heard back yet. It is Meylenberg goat yogurt.
I’ve never noticed any issues with it, so I think it’s worth a try.
Having said that, I am plant based and am used to eating a ton of beans etc, so it would take a lot for me to notice anything.
I just did a quick google and AI says it can cause gas or bloating as some people get used to the fiber.
I prefer vanilla so I can add chocolate or not, depending on my mood. If you are a chocolate fan, their chocolate flavor is really good, too. They have since introduced strawberry that I have yet to try.
This stuff is pretty pricey, so if you wind up trying and liking it, keep an eye out for it at Whole Foods when they have sales. My WF only has it occasionally, but a few months ago it was 50% off so I cleaned them out!
See this post, there was a whole research study on her: World’s oldest person had a young microbiome and 'exceptional genome'

I read that entire thread. I even posted a comment.
There is no mention of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus in that thread, nor in the article. The point of the whole thread is direct supplementation of bifidobacterium with yogurt that contains bifido. But the author I cited specifies Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus to enhance endogenous production of bifido. I cannot find the source of the assertion that Maria Branyas’ yogurt contained Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.
But poking around the web shows that most yogurt in Catalonia is produced the “traditional” way. The usual started for yogurt is Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.

Wikipedia says the scientist who identified it, named it bacillus bulgaricus.
You can make your own.
Wikipedia has this final paragraph.
Immunotherapy for cancer
According to Helen Nauts from Cancer Research Institute, on a monograph reviewing the effects of bacterial infections on multiple types of cancer, Ivan Bogdanov, a Bulgarian physician, allegedly produced a vaccine consisting of lactobacillus bulgaricus and used it to treat two patients with myeloma, inducing remission in the two cases, one dying 18 months later due to influenza, and another living 45 months (survival median at the time was about 12–18 months).[19] However, references are internal documents and conversations among hospitals; there’s no mention in English medical literature. An article from a commercial site and an alleged documentary are available (in Bulgarian).[20]

It’s fine. I’ve been using it for years, usually when I’m cutting weight to lean out.
