dripped yogurt question

[Guest guest]

I have a couple questions about dripped yogurt-

First is, how much yogurt should I be consuming per day if my yogurt is dripped?

Second, does anyone know the nutrition facts on dripped whole yogurt?

Thank you!

[Guest guest]

From what Elaine has said, dripped yogurt and undripped yogurt can be considered equal in terms of bacterial content and nutrition information. Dripping yogurt only removes excess water and a few other chemicals, including galactose.

How much you should consume in a 24-hour period is primarily determined by your own body's reaction, and where you are in the healing journey. Elaine recommended having no more than 3 cups of yogurt (dripped or undripped) per day -- but only if your body could tolerate that much.

As to the nutrition facts on dripped yogurt -- I'd use thesame ones as for regular yogurt. Dripping removes mostly water, which won't change much. But I've never checked on this, so you may wish to investigate further.

Thanks, Kim. I thought I had read that dripping the yogurt removes some of the

carbs...I wasn't sure about that or not. I know that Greek yogurt you get in the

store has less carbs than " regular " yogurt, so I didn't know if that applied

here.

I'm wondering if it's everyone's goal to get up to eating 3 cups per day. Is it

much more beneficial to eat that much than say a half cup or 1 cup?

Thanks,

Amber

I've read that dripped yogurt has less calcium then non-dripped. That's the only

difference I've come across so far though. Here's the link:

Just ignore what he says about full fat yogurt being bad. It seems none of the

mainstream diet people realize there's nothing wrong with healthy fats.

Thank for the link, Holly. Interesting, because I had never heard of the calcium

issue.

I'm mainly interested in how many carbs are in the dripped yogurt, but from the

research I've done, I can't really find anything that tells me how to figure it

out. I do find it interesting that whole milk and skim milk have the same amount

of carbs. I would have thought that the whole milk would have had less, but it's

the same.

Thanks, Alyssa. I guess I won't fuss too much about it. Maybe I'll just use the

nutrition facts of whole milk Greek yogurt.

I don't think you have to set a goal of reaching 3 cups of yogurt per day. That has always seemed a lot to me -- but of course my body never tolerated more than 1/3 c. per day for only 6 months then developed a sensitivity to casein so now I can't touch dairy.... But I've seen a lot of emails about yogurt from the long-time SCDers, so I'll base my response on that.

Common sense tells me that any amount of yogurt will be beneficial, and it will be beneficial to have yogurt regularly rather than infrequently. How much is good for your body and your taste buds, and how regular you eat yogurt is entirely up to you -- it is an individual choice based on your body's signals.

I'd eat enough yogurt to feel good to you, whether it's 1/3 cup one day and 1 cup another. If your body tolerates some yogurt every day, that's good but having it 2 or 3 times a week is also OK.

The important recommendation Elaine gave us was to limit yogurt to a maximum amount of 3 cups in one day. It is a lot to digest... You can have any amount up to that, even if it is one teaspoonful!

Thank Kim, that makes sense.

I do wonder how everyone defines how much yogurt they can tolerate. Does it make

you feel sick or increase symptoms? I'm curious, because I had a cup of yogurt

last night, which is more than I am used to. I have noticed some gas and some

more BM frequency, but I'm not sure if it's from the yogurt or not.

I eat a cup of yogurt in the morning, and a cup at night. I also often eat

frozen yogurt and cheesecake made with yogurt. It never has bothered me, so I've

never felt a need to limit it.

Holly,

I am eating 1 to 3 cups a day. I am thinking about starting to

do what you do, some at morning and at night. I find the yogurt to be

extremely soothing to my stomach … just wondering do you have a similar kind of

experience? Does anyone else?

Yes, I love the yogurt and also try to space it out over the day to keep a

Actually, I think skim milk has more carbs because it has more lactose then

whole milk.

Also, while I do not drip my oven-made yogurt, I pour off the liquid

that separates out; used to stir it back in. after reading what so

many of you wrote, as what M wrote below about the better

digestibility of dripped, I started to just pour out the floating

liquid, and get a very rich yogurt, and happier innards.

Dripping the yogurt removes a significant amount

of the water of hydrolysis, which has quite a bit

of galactose in it. Galactose is sometimes

difficult to metabolize for folks with gut

issues, so dripping the yogurt makes it much more

digestable. As well as thicker and tastier!

I thought it would too, but when I checked the carbs on the skim milk container

and the whole milk container, they had the same amount. Wouldn't the carb count

be higher if it had more lactose, or am I wrong?

I definitely find it soothing! If I have a stomach ache, the yogurt usually

makes it feel better. It's one of my easiest tolerated foods. Hurray for yogurt!

Holly, Gay and PJ,

Thanks for your responses. I am glad to hear others really enjoy

the yogurt too, I started thinking I was the only one that was eating much of

it and enjoying it J

For those of you who eat larger quantities of yogurt, can I ask the method that

you use to make it? I have a yogurt maker, but it only makes seven 6 oz.

servings, and once I drip it, there's not that much left. I'm contemplating a

dehydrator, but I don't know if I want to spend that much money. My oven light

won't stay on, so that's not an option.

Also, does anyone else get gas from the yogurt? I ate a lot last night, and now

I have more gas than usual. I'm wondering if it's just my body or if maybe I'm

not making the yogurt right.

One more thing- does it matter if you eat the yogurt on an empty stomach? I've

heard before that probiotics need to be taken on an empty stomach for them to

have an effect. I think they were referring to the pills, but I was wondering if

it made a difference.

Thanks guys!

I drip my yogurt as I tolerate it better that way. Here is what I do: I have 2

Yogourmets, with extra containers, and I prepare a gallon of milk at a time and

run them both at one time. It was worth the extra investment as it saves time in

the long run.

I also invested in a giant " pasta " pot, that has an insert for draining pasta. I

line it with cloth and drip the whole batch of yogurt at a time.

Saves me from making it all the time....but it seems I make it a lot because I

like to eat it. I do usually eat it for breakfast but I don't know if it makes a

difference on an empty stomach or not.

I try to eat a bit of it frequently during the day to keep the gut populated

with the good guys.

Thanks, PJ. I've been considering buying another yogurt maker. Otherwise, I

honestly have to make my yogurt at least every 3 days. I'm going to look into

that.

Just curious as to why dripped yogurt might be better tolerated? (Forgive me if this question has been answered before!). Sometimes after eating yogurt I have a lot of stomach rumbling. I was just wondering if I should try dripped?

I do not know why dripped yogurt is more tolerated, but here’s

what happened to me: Early on, at the start of the SCD I used the SCD yogurt to

make a daily yogurt shake that I would take to work and drink. Well, it must

have been only my 3rd or 4th shake since starting the SCD

when I found myself in the bathroom at work vomiting up that ‘water of

hydrolysis’. But not the actual yogurt. That ‘water of hydrolysis’

somehow separated from the yogurt and remained in my stomach. Well, my stomach

didn’t appreciate that ‘water of hydrolysis’ just sitting

around in there, so it said “Out!” and up it came. Very weird

experience.

I’ve been dripping my yogurt ever since…

Amber,

I use the yogourmet yogurt

maker. I got it from Amazon.com. It makes up to two liters of yogurt

in one container so you don’t have the problem with the small portions and

extra cleanup. I have 2 extra containers so I always have extra yogurt. I

haven’t tried making the yogurt any other way – I picked yogourmet

maker after doing BTVC research, but I wouldn’t try it any other way

cause its so easy for me.

I also use the Gi prohealth

starter recommended on the BTVC site. I started with goat milk yogurt

which was fine for me, but my husband didn’t like it so now we use whole

organic cows milk.

As far as gas, yogurt doesn’t

seem to give me that. I really find the yogurt to be totally soothing to

my stomach, i.e. I start feeling better as I am eating it. It is hard to

explain, but it just feels so good. OTOH I am not sure how much is a lot.

I usually eat in 1 to ½ cup portions.

I also know from research

prior to SCD that everyone’s good bacteria diminishes as they age, that

is why yogurt and other fermented foods are so good for anyone.

As far as eating on an empty

stomach, I don’t know if your are supposed to, but I do. I eat it

for breakfast, and if I eat it at night I usually eat it right before bed,

after my dinner has digested.

Amber,

funny you should mention it. My yogurt is fermenting as we 'speak.'

While I was gifted a YoGourmet [the friend who introduced me to SCD

discovered she could not do any type of yogurt.] I have stopped using

it. Using the oven is great!

Takes up no space.

And the temp is constant. it is a lightbulb at a constant heat.

In my case, had to switch from a 60 watt to a 40 watt. A use for

incandescent bulbs!

And I make a half gallon at a time, and use whatever jars I choose.

And it is silent.

How good is all that!

oops, just re-read your note!

If you cannot use your oven, can improvise with a very very

inexpensive light in an insulated picnic box. If you have a chance to

get to a hardware store, they will show you electric sockets for light

bulbs, very simple ones. Actually, you might be able to use it in

your oven, if there is an outlet within reach.
