Types of yogurt starter and goat milk

[Guest guest]

Though I have been on this list for many years, I find myself confused

after reviewing the web sites as well as the various posts on types of

yogurt starters and milks to use. My 8 yo severely son has followed

SCD for 2+ yrs. This will be the first time to try goat yogurt.

I have 2 questions:

1. Since we have been dairy-free I would prefer to try non diary

starter. Am I correct that there are 2 choices? Progurt and Custom

Probiotic? Any strong preferences of one vs. the other? I believe they

are both based in California and the giprohealth web site indicated

that the starter needs to be refrigerated. Since I live in SE US, I am

concerned about how cold it will be (even if packed in ice) by the

time it reaches me.

2. Is the best option raw goat milk from a farm? Alternatively, is

Meyerburg or some other store brand acceptable?

Thank you.
