During the yogurt making process you bring milk to the boil which pasteurizes it. If using raw milk be sure the source is very reliable. We vcan usemany cheeses that have been aged over 30 days, from cowm goat or sheep milk. There are exceptions and some that are only to be used occasionally. the list will be in the back of your BTVC book when it arrives. Applesauce can be an egg replacer in some baked reciopes.

I have looked at the BTVC website and also at the info on this website and it says that you can use a high fat legal cows milk for the yogurt but I didn't see anywhere the mention of the milk being pasturized or not. I have a source here where I can get milk in the glass jars without additives but it is pasturized. Raw milk is not available here. I also have a source for raw goat's milk but I find the taste and even the smell of goat's milk absolutely revolting as does my son. Is it possible that it doesn't taste so " goaty " when made into yogurt? Is there a way to make the yogurt taste like store bought with honey and fruit? Homemade yogurt is so tart and I just cringe at the thought of eating the stuff. Have some of you been successful re-introducing cheeses and yogurt to your ASD kids? My son has been casein free for 4 months now due to behavioral issues but I am thinking about giving the yogurt a try. Is there any decent bread that you make without eggs? My son is allergic to eggs and they seem to show up in all of the recipes that I have seen. I am so afraid that my sons self feeding skills will suffer when we start this diet. He will only eat veggies and meats pureed. The only way he picks up and eats finger foods himself are if they are bits of cereal or bread. He is not the fondest of fruit either but will eat an occasional chunk of it here and there. He is 17 months old.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Heidi I have just recenlty started myself on SCD, and last night was the first that I could accually eat my yogurt. The first batch went terrible! But I did find that if you add enough honey it tastes okay, I wouldn't say that it is store bought quality just because it is thicker. I found that if I drain most of the water off as soon as it is done and refrigrate it then it seems to be ok. I haven't added fruits yet either that will probably be some time next week but I think with the combination of honey and fruit it may accually become enjoyable! Hope everything goes well!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi Heidi!! Nice to see you here :-) I made goat yogurt a couple of times and it wasn't as goaty as you would think. I used pasturized milk from the store though and it's not as goaty as fresh milk either. After your yogurt has fermented the 24 hours, let it rest and cool down over night. Then line a large strainer with coffee filters and just pour the yogurt in there. Suspend it over a bowl to catch the liquid, and let it set there. The longer you let it drip, the thicker, creamier and less tart it tastes. Sometimes I am lazy and just use it right out of the strainer and after it has been dripping for a few days, it tastes almost like cream cheese!! And almost as thick too. We both like it thick as I can add fruit purees to it and it's STILL nice and thick like her beloved ice cream was. ;-) I put a large dinner plate over the strainer and keep this all in the fridge. I am so happy to see you are going to try the diet!! I know you will very happy with the results. :-) Oh... and cheese. is not on the spectrum but she was having nasty and painful reactions to any dairy prior to SCD and after we had been on the diet for a few weeks, she COULD eat the cheese with out any problems! -- Carol in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
