Do you mix it as soon as you take it out of the yogurt maker, or do you

refrigerate it for a few hours first? If the former, that could be the

answer. Take care, Fay (13 y.o. son with Crohn's)

After fermenting for 24 hours you should refrigerate it for at least

8 hrs to " firm up " before disturbing it. If you find that this is

still not as thick as you'd like you can try dripping the yogurt by

pouring it into a sieve lined with a coffee filter or a colander

lined with a clean dish towel or a few clean cheesecloths (all laid

in a bowl to catch the water that you'll toss out).

Elaine actually recommended that at the beginning of the diet to

dilute juices at least half water & half juice. As the gut heals a

little less water is okay.

I usually leave it overnight to sit in the refrigerator and it's a

great consistency until I mix in the honey.

I do this already.

I've also done this and found it still changes to milk quality when I

mix in the honey.

Thanks for the info on juices.

No - I haven't and maybe that's it. i just use the honey straight

from the jar. I'll try melting the honey and mixing to see if that

helps.

I usually keep my yoghurt in the original container - then I add the

honey to only a cup at a time (about what we will use in a day).

That way, the yoghurt is not disturbed and stays firm.

Also, I would only heat the honey slightly.
