Up to you - I would not eat soy if you paid me as it tends to skew the

immune system, and I don't need that. (Skews it to TH-2 excess and TH-1

deficiency). This skewing predisposes many chronic diseases, so I do not

use any soy products.

Maybe your body is trying to tell you what it took science to tell me?

:-)))

In my view, there are so many other ways to get good nutrition besides

legumes, grains and dairy, that I personally opt for the alternatives.

As far as beneficial gut bacteria go, they will manage just fine if you

only provide them what they need to eat. In my case I use rice bran. Its

one of the FEW fibers that is *fermentable* by beneficial gut bacteria.

[it's also a superfood in its own right.]

This fermentabhle fiber food for gut bacteria is far more important

than any cultured foods to provide the actual bacteria. In other words

there is no point feeding the culture without a *sustainable* gut food

for the nutrition of the bacteria after you swallow them. Research shows

if you wish to leave out either the bacteria or the food they need - it

is WAY better to leave out the bacteria.

Their food is essential :-)

So my suggestion is to be sure to look for fermentable fiber like

rice bran in your diet - and to consider any fermented product as

" cherry on top " and not the basic issue. You will only get the

nutritional benefits of butyrate, propionate and acetate in the gut from

beneficial bacteria if they are fed correctly:-)

Namaste,

Grocery stores in the gluten free section or some such.

Fred Meyer carries (or can get) ener-G brand.

HF stores also have it but usually up the price.

Re: Healthy Homemade Yogurt

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my post. In summary, our ancestors knew how

to preserve foods, and their health, through the process of

fermentation. I hate to think this time tested approach to basic

survival has been nicely berried and forgotten. Oh well anyone for a

whopper gut bomb?

Farmer's cheese, motzarelli low fat, sheep, and goat cheese in very small

amounts and only seldom, if you are a secretor.
