RE: When to adding Yoghurt

[Guest guest]

At what point do you add the yogurt? I did not find it in the BTVC or

on the web sites.

Thanks,

Sheri,

Most adults start the yogurt right after starting the diet.

With the kids, it's a little trickier. Many of them cannot tolerate

any form of cow's milk products. So, parents are leary to try any

dairy of any sort.

Some will try nut yogurt. Others will get REALLY brave and try the

goat's milk yogurt.

Either way, I recommend that parents be 100% on the diet for at least

a few weeks to a couple of months before introducing goat's milk yogurt.

When a child is still experiencing die-off from removing the starches

and when a parent is still trying to figure out which foods the child

does well with... adding goat yogurt into the mix makes it too

complicated to figure out whether the child tolerates it.

So, I recommend 100% on the diet and wait until things are pretty

smooth. You have a decent menu of things the child eats without

problems. Then, add the yogurt. Start SLOW. Some kids have die off

with just 1/8 tsp of yogurt.
