.My understanding is ALL yogurt has probiotics develop as part of the fermentation process for making it. Kefir is supposed to have higher levels of probiotics created during fermentation...
Your understanding is partially accurate.
.
Some commercial yoghurt is pasteurized, pretty much nullifying anything living.
.
Other factories add specific cultures after treatment of their dairy products.
That label might say 'Living Cultures'.
.
Instead of dairy from cows, I make yoghurt from cashews or coconut.
I got the idea after reading labels at the yoghurt chiller in the grocery store.
.
Other fermented foods include sauerkraut.
I have a massive slug of the stuff before each meal.
Apparently, bitterness triggers a release of digestion enzymes.
.
As we age past about 30yo, our digestion slows, and we get less nutrients from food.
Are you considering supplementing with HCL?

An aside:
If you are near Natural Grocers, check into their classes and workshops.
For years, I was a guest presenter, discussing nutrition, cooking, and animal husbandry.
.
Many Natural Grocers classes have samples of that session's cooking demonstration.
On your lucky day, you might share samples designed for fifty students...
... but only a handful of dedicated learners show.
.
Highly recommended:
* A couple times a year, Natural Grocers has HEALTH BY CHOCOLATE, a meditative workshop about the benefits of different types of chocolate.
Do you think you could stand dozens of different chocolate samples from different sources around this particular planet!

If you need a chaperone, I can be available to supervise and support.
Call me, OK?
