The reason I put a "top" on yogurt amount is because of the amount of one of the sugars of which lactose is composed: galactose. In other words, more than 3 cups would put stress on the liver to convert galactose to glucose and people with IBD don't need more stress on the liver.

However, if you drip the yogurt, you are getting rid of the watery part with the galactose so if you can eat 3 cups of dripped yogurt per day (and I can't imagine why you would want that much), go ahead.

Just remember that you are eating pure casein which is a very good protein but that would be an awful lot.
