Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I wanted to make yogurt from heavy cream. I looked at the heavy creams here at the supermarkets in Canada and ALLLLL of them in addition to cream and milk have guar gum, carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, carob bean gum.......WTF! Even the half/half and table cream and all of that have these illegals too. Where can I get some decent heavy cream with not so many illegals (in Canada)? Bummer. I couldn't find heavy cream w/o those in US either, and frankly, when I used it BEFORE checking the ingredients (didn't occur to me, surprisingly) the yogurt was jacked up. I use organic valley and trader joes brand organic half and half which makes AMAZING THICK yogurt. Whole foods and TJ's is where I get this, Lowes food and Food lion didn't have squat. Not sure about Canada though. Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC 1 year-ishSCD 2 weeks-ish (restarted)No meds!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchase it in the organic section of my local Superstore, it's pricier than the brands with all the illegal additives at $5.79 for a 1/2 pint size carton but it was a relief when I eventually found it. I, too, searched the regular dairy section in all of my local grocery stores without success when my son first started SCD. If you have a local store with an organic dairy section you should have success there. > > Cindy > Son, IBD > SCD since March 2008 > Thanks, I'm in Montreal unfortunately. I looked at the organic section of several grocery stores but with no luck. I'll try and search for that organic meadow brand though, thanks.

I tried doing this with the heavy cream I had (which had the illegals) and it turned out very weird - it doesn't seem like it worked. Does your organic meadow heavy cream work?
