Re: goat yoghurt/casein intolerant

[Guest guest]

,

First I would start with using Goat yogurt. Make your own at home to

guarantee quality.

The important thing about Goat milk is that the predominant protein,

beta casein, has the following advantages:

~ It is more similar to human breast milk

~ The protein is a simpler structure and is more easily digested by our

stomachs

~ Beta casein opens up better (denatures) when exposed to the acid

environment in yogurt process aiding digestion

. . peptide bonds are more easily broken down by enzymic process

~ Beta casein is also less affected by the process of pasteurization

. . . Alpha casein has a tendency to tighten up in such a way that it

is less digestible when pasteurized. Apparently Goat milk is much less

susceptible to this process.

When making the yogurt, be sure to drain off as much of the liquid after

making. This liquid will contain most of the strong `goaty` flavor.

Using a decent cheesecloth bag from a cheese making company is the best

way to go.

Theoretically the process of making yogurt is still beneficial, but from

my research, the negative denaturing of alpha casein during

pasteurization may not be reversible if not done properly (hense not

digestible ergo allergenic).

Well made Goat Yogurt that is properly drained is the tastiest and

creamiest product you will ever have. Makes great taziki sauce as well :]

Good Luck

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I've heard a lot of good things about

goats milk. Do you use the yogurmet freeze dried starter? I think

someone just posted that there is a casein free yoghurt starter? I

am so confused... some of the yoghurts starters have casein in it? I

am just nervous to start this since my son has been off casein for

over a year. He was previously gfcf prior to switching to scd.

Thanks

I am so glad that you are going to try the goat yogurt!

Please remember to start out with only a 1/8 of a teaspoon. This is

very important!

You might experience a die off reaction,so be prepared to see some

negative reactions. If the negative reactions continue for more than

a month,then seek the help of a SCD counselor or the list.
