Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi Sheila, He doesn't have any obvious issues but yeast is sometimes a problem. I'm worried about him getting too much almond in his diet because a lot of ASD kids develop allergies to foods they eat a lot of. I'm planning on using up my almonds (for yogurt) and switching to goat yogurt after that. Perhaps goat yogurt, almond flour baked goodies, vegies, fruit and meat will be a better combination. If someone could please post a simple goat yogurt recipe that they have been successful with I would greatly appreciate it. Most of the yogurt recipes I've seen posted are far too complex for my tired brain. Thank You ahead of time! Beth Bivens-Kirkland Re: oxalates Hi Beth, What reaction is he having to the nut yogurt and almond flour baked goods? Sheila, SCD 57 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 42 mos > Sounds like feeding my ASD son almond nut yogurt and baked goodies made with almond flour is not necessarily the best way to go after all.

Bring 1 quart or liter of goat's milk to the simmer stage (180 F) keep it there for 3 minutes, Cover and let stand off the element 15 minutes. Remove pot to a sink with a few inches of cold water iand set the pot in it until liquid cools to room temperature. Combine starter (I use 1/2 cup conventional plain cow yogurt) with 1/2 cup cooled goat milk and make stir it to a smooth paste. Add remaining milk and proceed to fill yogurt maker or cups. ( I incubate yogurt in an oven with a 60 watt light bulb instead of the oven light). Leave it 24-28 hours and then place covered in the fridge for 6-8 hours. I drip mine in the fridge through a paper cone coffee filter rather than at room temperature (which is also OK) and throw away the liquid. Adding honey when you serve is an option. Enjoy. Carol F.

I'm planning on using up my almonds (for yogurt) and switching to goat yogurt after that. Perhaps goat yogurt, almond flour baked goodies, vegies, fruit and meat will be a better combination. How about using other nuts for baked goods or to make nut yogurt. Are you using any meds/supps for treating yeast? If unsure what is causing yeast to fluctuate you could try keeping a food journal - it may help pinpoint a culprit. > If someone could please post a simple goat yogurt recipe that they have been successful with I would greatly appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I will not using a cow based starter or cow's milk since my son is ASD. Any suggestions on a starter? I thought I could just use the starter I already use that is casein free but its a powder, not a yogurt. Also, regarding the dripping......can't you just empty the excess water out as needed? Thats what I do with the nut yogurt and it works just fine.

You can pour off the water as you go but dripping it overnight gets the texture i want and I don't have to check it. Carol F.

I thought I could just use the starter I already use that is casein free but its a powder, not a yogurt. You can use a powdered starter or yogurt to make yogurt. I have done both. A casein free starter can be found at http://pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html#start If using the ProGurt starter it is 1/8th tsp for 1 litre (1 quart) and 1/4 tsp for 2 litres (2 quarts). Detailed instructions are at http://pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html#make Pictorial instructions (using ProGurt as an example) at http://pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html#makepic > Also, regarding the dripping......can't you just empty the excess water out as needed?

As long as you ferment dairy milk (cow, goat, horse, camel etc...) for 24 hrs with an appropriate starter at the preoper temperatures it is good.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 >> A casein free starter can be found at http://pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html#start >>> I assume that the starter refered to here is ProGurt, but on the website it specifically says " recognized to have exposure to some dairy peptones " , so there would be issues w/ at least cross contamination with casein. Does this list have additional information that this starter is actually casein free that isn't listed on the website? Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched the archives and didn't see anything on this. jodi ><{{{> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
