[Guest guest]

And if using goat milk do I need goat yogurt starter, cow milk - cow

yogurt starter or does it matter if they match? Can I mix them?

I bought the starter from GI Pro. It seemed really expensive but it

has lasted a long time. I do a gal+ of goat milk a week and I am

still on my first bottle after almost 5 months.

We also make the goat yogurt. If you have a true allergy to bovine/cow milk,

then yes it may be wise to use the Progurt Starter from GI Pro Health (it is

dairy free). We had/have no problems using the Yorgurmet from Lucy's kitchen.

Our problems where not " true " allergy to cow diary. WE had a casein sensitivity

problem, where the casein was having a casomorphine reaction and causing bizarre

behavior. We discovered that in 24 hour batch of SCD yogurt that this did not

happen. I bought both and mix them according to direction. (half progurt and

half yorgurmet) This way we get the benefits of both probiotics in the

products. Most starters that you can buy have illegal probiotics (bifidus) in

them and illegal pectin. So we never bothered with the ones you can find in the

stores.
