Hi, I am having the same problem. I've been doing the SCD for about 3 months

(with great results) but can't seem to tolerate the yogurt, even when I make it

with the trader joe's goats milk. I guess I just have to wait a bit longer and

then try again?

> I have been on SCD since 8/6/09. For the first month I was making very good

progress and my CD was almost symptom free. After the first month my yogurt

maker arrived and I started making SCD yogurt exactly as instructed. For the

past two months my digestion has not been as good with pain, gas and cramps

after eating. I still have very occasional D, maybe once a week at most. I have

started taking S boulardi. I know it may be the 2-3 month flare but it is going

on a long time. I read that CD is a two year " cure time " . I follow the diet

with the required " fanatical adherance " . I have BTVC and am sorry that the

author has now passed away. I would have loved to Thank her. After 30 plus years

of CD I discover that there is a diet that makes a big differene after all.

I should also note that I have been on and off the SCD for 10 years. Earlier on

when I started the SCD I could tolerate as much yogurt as I wanted ... now I

can't even handle small quantities :-(

This has been a bad week for me. I just bought my TJ goat Milk today to make a batch (dripped). How do you know it is the yogurt that does not agree? I thought the SCD cows milk yogurt was my culprit but symptoms,pain gas and D have continued since stopping the yogurt. Wish I could get over this proverbial New York pot hole and get back on track with SCD. I had been doing so well and though I was well on the way to "a cure".

I started the SCD 10 years ago and immediately introduced the cows milk yogurt

in large quantities with no problems whatsoever. In fact, I felt even better

after introducing it.

I subsequently fell off the SCD wagon (several times) before finally getting

serious about it 3 months ago. I have tried introducing yogurt on several

occasions in the past 3 months and each time I started to feel like I was about

to flare. For me, my GI system starts making a lot of gurgling sounds --

possibly because of strictures -- and I feel generally crappy.

My understanding is that you have to reach a certain point in the healing

process before you can tolerate the yogurt because it contains such large

quantities of probiotics that it can swing the balance of your intestinal flora

too much in the other direction. Of course, this is all from my limited

perspective :-)

This has been a bad week for me. I just bought my TJ goat Milk today to make a batch (dripped). How do you know it is the yogurt that does not agree?___Process of elimination. It might be something else. In any case, before you start goat milk'syogurt, I'd stop for a few days - 3, 4 days, up to a week. If you are still getting symptoms,then that is probably not it. And you have to eliminate something else.Have you gone back to intro? It is easier to figure these things out when you areon intro again. Mara

Next time you intro it, you should start with 1/4 or 1/2 a teaspoon.

And work up - very, very slowly

from that point.

Couldn't some of the symptoms from the yogurt come from die off,

rather than not tolerating it?

I stopped the Yogurt last Wednesday and am still getting symptoms, so maybe this is just the 3 month flare up? I sure hope so and hope it does not last much longer. I saw a post that Val has been having symptoms for 7 weeks-poor thing. I had to go back to taking Prednisone today 30mg a day and will be on this about a month to ween off it. I have always responded well to Prednisone in the past. I have been following the intro diet since last week, just with some added bananas. I made the chicken soup today, more like chicken and carrot soup, but really hearty and delicious! I will try the Goat yogurt starting in small amounts.

Thanks,

K.
