Re: Goat milk/yogurt catastrophe! ok to go cow???

[Guest guest]

Hi ! I remember you from when you started.

Have you always avoided cow dairy because he's had reactions to it pre-diet? I

would be tempted to try cow. I am so lucky that Katera tolerates cow.... it

definitely makes a nice, thick yogurt. I have made plenty of goat yogurt, too...

but can't always get good milk.

I honestly don't know what to tell you about the Meyenberg milk. I only used it

once... and thought the yogurt was AWFUL. A friend of mine who raises goats told

me that Meyenberg mixes the milk of all kinds of different breeds together...

and that in fact, you never know what you're really getting (in terms of how

much of which breed). I know there is a real difference in taste, fat content,

etc... between different breeds of goats.

So.... I guess that was no help. Short of buying your own flock of goats, I

don't know what to suggest.

Goat milk/yogurt catastrophe! ok to go cow???

Hello all, it's been a long time, but I need help!

I've been giving my son goat yogurt for the four years we've been on

SCD. I used to get great goat milk at Trader Joe's, but they stopped

carrying it. Now, all I can find is Meyenberg. I've been using it for

the past few months with no problem. I don't like it as much, but it

works ok.

I've been trying to make a batch of yogurt for the past two days and

I've ruined three quarts of goat milk. Everytime I try to heat them,

they curdle and get disgusting before the temp even reaches 150, let

alone 185. What's going on??? I'm not doing anything differently -

same milk, same pan, same thermometer.

Has anyone experienced this? What can I do? What does this mean about

the milk?

Has anyone gone from using only goat products to using cow products

(yogurt and cheese)? How did it go?

If you believe strongly that it will be a huge mistake for me to try

giving him yogurt made from whole organic cow's milk, please let me

know why. I've always felt strongly that the goat was better, but I'm

about to lose it with this milk!

BTW - usually gets about 1/2 cup yogurt per day in a smoothy.

He also eats a little as ice cream, which I know is not giving him the

probiotic. He seems to be doing fine, a couple of days without any,

but I consider it a " medicine " for him - he needs it.

What should I do??

Thank you so much!!!

,

I am having the exact same problem with meyenberg goat milk. I bought it from

two different stores and the same problem occurred. As I heat it, it get clumpy

and disgusting. I called meyenberg and they said it may be a distribution

problem? I live in southern arizona. I am waiting to buy milk from a different

batch number to try again. The milk giving me grief was dated June 12th so this

batch should be off the shelves soon.

I've tried, with success, all three forms of Meyenberg goat milk... my son could

not tolerate organic cow's milk yougurt.

Perhaps you should try the canned evaporated and/or the powdered forms ...

it's very conveinent.

Jody has already ok'd them, just be sure to reconstitute properly.

Thank you, , for sharing what's happened with your Meyenburg milk. It's

exactly what I've experienced and my milk was also dated June 12th. Now, I guess

I just have to wait for a new batch, too - and call Meyenburg to get some of

that money back???

Question for the group: Has anyone transitioned from goat to cow with or without

problems?

Thank you!!
