Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi , No, it's not okay to use lactose free milk to make yogurt. The bacteria in the yogurt culture breakdown the lactose that is in the milk which is why when the yogurt is done, it is virtually lactose free. If you start off with lactose free milk, there is nothing for the bacteria to eat and they'll die and you won't get yogurt.There is a ton of info on yogurt making on Elaine's site, http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yoghurt.htmGlad you're feeling better. Take care,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999SCD 2002 My daughter and I have recently started the SCDiet, but she hasn't received the BTVC book yet. She is just doing what she can gleen from what little I've told her (the blind leading the blind, pretty much, in this case!) until she can read up on it herself. She mentioned that she is using lactose-free milk to make her yogurt. One batch turned out fine, but the other one which is half-way "done" is still liquid. So my questions are is it okay to use lactose-free milk or does it make any difference? Why would it not be "gelling?" We are both undiagnosed at the present time, but have appointments to be tested for celiac disease, etc. In the meantime a friend got me started on this diet and I feel like I am back in the world of the living already!
