Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, the main point in SCD is not to feed bacterial flora. This is why we avoid certain foods. While .4 mg lactose is not a lot of lactose for you, a grown person, it is a veritable feast for a colony of bacteria. So no, it is not allowed. I drip my yogurt and also end up making it almost every day. It just becomes a habit, better than giving intestinal flora a buffet. It gets easier! PJ > > Hello All, i am new > > I found a source that has .4g lactose per 30grams. Could i add a tablespoon or so to my yogurt while it ferments to thicken it up? I know about dripping but i use my batch of yogurt in 2 days, its a major part of my SCD diet. Dripping would make it so i have to make a new batch daily probably! > > Also i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of high calorie foods. WITHOUT nut butters. I am on my 2nd month and nuts and nut butters just kill me, its really pretty painful. I must stick to soft food. I eat 2 large yogurt smoothies with coconut and olive oil mixed in for 1200 calories a day. Then i eat 4-5 chicken breasts or the equivalent in pork or ground beef, i eat 3-4 eggs and an avocado or two, Typically i eat at least 3 bananas as well. I went on fitday and daily i take in about 3700 calories, but i am just getting skinnier and skinnier. Some of my friends actually joke that they would love to have crohns after watching what happened to me this summer haha. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I know .4g would be considerable to the bactera, but if i added it during fermentation wouldn't it be consumed? I know Elaine is against adding milk solids because it will make the pH go down too low, but i do no think .1g would have much effect (Because i wont add the full 30g MPI). I am more concerned as to whether the milk protien is a concern, unless someone thinks the extra little lactose will bring the pH of my yogurt down too low???? Thank you for the reply i am very excited about discussing ways to hopefully reach drug free remission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
