Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 In plain yogurt, the carbs are all lactose, which is relatively low on the glycemic index---46 as opposed to 100 for glucose. I think that's why I can tolerate it when I can't tolerate glucose etc. That's the only explanation that makes any sense to me anyway. Five or six years ago I did some research on yogurt studies for CPT newsletter and we published this little blurb: Yogurt can boost your immune system, say researchers at the University of California at . In a year-long study, subjects who ate 3/4 cup of yogurt a day had 25% fewer colds. More dramatically, subjects who ate two cups of yogurt a day for four months had a fourfold increase in gamma interferon, a substance that fights infection. The benefits lasted for two months after the subjects stopped eating yogurt. http://www.spiralnotebook.org/digestthis/index.html Quite honestly, at the time I expected to find more scientific documentation on the yogurt/gut connection, but good studies were scare. There may be more now. B _____ From: ohgminion Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 10:38 PM To: Subject: Re: need for hydration * That's great, more power to you.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hi, Barbara Let me add to all the good wishes for you. I am glad your Gamma Knife procedure is done, and hope your symptoms lessen quickly and you get some permanent relief. So glad you are back! I have a thought to add to the lactose issue. I know some people are lactose intolerant, and cannot handle much if any lactose because they have a deficiency in the enzyme in the gut that breaks the lactose down. For those that are not, the carbs in dairy - all lactose as you point out - might be interesting to explore. Lactose gets broken down to glucose and glactose. Glactose is also a form of glucose, utilized by the body for energy, although it has a somewhat different " pathway, or more choices of what it can be converted to. I am NOT a biochemist, and after much explanation, I just concluded that people who cannot seem to tolerate some carbs, especially the higher glycemic index carbs, might be able to handle glactose easier. Grrrr! I wish I could remember more (It was about a month ago that I questioned the issue) and state this better, but am trying to encourage anyone here who can get into the complexities, to look at how glactose is handled by the body. It might have implications for some of us. And on a different benefit of yogurt, if I have yogurt (plain of course) while on antibiotics, the chances of getting diarrhea are much reduced. That has happened enough that I am confident there is some connection.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sunny, This is fascinating...will definitely put glactose on my " to do " research list. Thks!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I guess I'll butt in! I think you mean " glucose " and " galactose " , although the pronunciation is " glactose " . http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates ..html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=4067776&dopt=Abstract Acidophilus is a short name for " good bacteria " that is in the human large intestine. When one takes antibiotics, more or less of this " good bacteria " is killed by the antibiotic, depending on the type of antibiotic. Since a BM is made out of a good portion of dead bacteria, problems arise when the bacteria is killed off. Here is some more about acidophilus: http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/digestiveproblems/a/Acidophilus.htm Take care, RH > > > >> The plain Dannon yogurt I eat contains active acidophilus cultures > > > > and I eat > > > >> 36-40 oz a day.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Indeed, it is galactose. And I debated with myself which way it was spelled. I remembered that there was something unusual about the word. I guess it was the pronunciation, and not the spelling. Did I misspell glucose also? That I was sure of, but once I write/type something obvious, I know what I am trying to say, and just can't catch those typos! But, for sure, the galactose needed clarification.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 It really is not that hard, and it is a lot cheaper than the store bought versions (which are not SCD). If you think about it.. one gallon (128 ounces) of milk costs $2.50. One container of yogurt (8 oz) costs any where from $.33 - $.50 per container = $5.28- $8.00 per gallon!!! Even before we were SCD I made yogurt, but did not do for 24 hours. You do not have to buy a yogurt maker. I use 64 ounce glass jars to heat the yogurt (in boiling water) and for the fermetning (jars in water over a heating element that keeps the temp at 105 degrees. Let me know if you want the full details on how I do it! Hope this helps!!! mother of Caden 2 5/6 year SCD since 2/05 and Emmalynn 15 months > > Hi, I am a new member. I just read Elaine's book.
