Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 No, there are no legal commercial yogurts, partly because of illegal additives, but mainly because they're not fermented long enough to remove the lactose. Lactose is a sugar that we need to avoid. Dannon Natural plain yogurt is legal only when a small amount is used as a starter to make a batch of our 24-hour yogurt. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 And it has to be the full fat version not lowfat or nonfat. Make sure there are no added ingredients like pectin.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Eileen, When you use low fat milk, how do you make the yogurt without it being totally runny? Or do you just drip it each time?

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A friend of mine uses gelatin to firm hers up; says she just follows the directions on the gelatin box and it works wonderfully. So far, I've only made it with heavy whipping cream/half and half so mine comes out wonderfully thick. Once I put some weight back on I plan on cutting back on the fat and will probably use gelatin.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A friend of mine uses gelatin to firm hers up; says she just follows the directions on the gelatin box and it works wonderfully. Haven't checked, but I think the gelatin according to the box directions calls for adding the gelatin BEFORE fermentation. Elaine always recommended either not using the gelatin or adding it after fermentation. SCD yogurt does set up reasonably firmly, and if it doesn't, you might have not fermented in correctly. Adding the gelatin would keep you from knowing this. Goat yogurt is quite soft after it sets up. So are the lower fat milks. Whole filk yogurt is nice and firm. Half and half yogurt is delightfully firm. Whole cream yogurt is almost TOO firm (well, for my taste!). If you drip the lower fat milks, you will drip more off them than the higher fat milks. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
