Hi Misty,

Starting at 6oz will definitely cause gas. It is because of the amount

of good bacteria in it. The best way to start the yogurt is with a

teaspoon or so, then slowly work your way up. I started at 1 tsp, and

doubled the dose every second day until 1/2 cup (4oz). At 1/2 cup I

noticed a bit of gas so I stayed there for a week. Now the gas is

better and I'll increase again soon.

My mom who has no digestive difficulties was interested in the

homemade yogurt. So she has been eating it too. She started at 1/2cup

(4oz) per day and had gas. She got over it after about two weeks, but

like I said she has no digestive problems.

Hope that helps,

Kat

Thanks so much for your reply. I only ate 2 TBS yesterday and today and am having gas problems, so I must be super sensitive to it.
