RE: newcomer to group, haven't started SCD yet

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm hoping to start the diet in September and had some questions. In Elaine's book, she recommends eating the dry cottage cheese mixed with yogurt on day 1. I read on the pecanbread website that they recommend not introducing the yogurt (probiotics) until at least day 5. Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I have crohns disease.

Also, I want to make homemade mayo but the recipe has a raw egg in it. Since egg beaters are illegal I'm concerned about eating something that has raw eggs in it. Does anyone have a recipe where the egg is cooked?

I don't have a yogurt maker and I'm not crazy about investing in one since I don't know if the diet will work for me. Any suggestions on an inexpensive brand or even a used one?

Thanks, Mo
