Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I am a bit confused. Can you just sum up the conclusions of your experience in a sentence. It is okay to have dairy or coconut yogurt if you are ASD? Mystery SOLVED Coconut Yogurt/Goat Yogurt/DIE OFF REACTION! Hey guys, and all our dear MODERATORS, Thank you all for helping us to unravel this mystery! Our coconut kefir experiment blew up in our face! We made the yogurt from home made pasteurized coconut milk (to reassure all the bad bacteria and things where dead), and added a yogurt starter that was diary free. It was delicious and we drank the entire thing. So good, wanted to make more! Thinking that if it was casein free...we would be OK.........WRONG! Now I know why Elaine didn't want us using the kefir in the beginning of our SCDiet. WE got to learn the hard way! It's because it causes a Horrendous die off, a miserable one. Nothing gentle about it. We stopped eating the goat yogurt because we justified that it had to be the casein in the starter (made from cow dairy)....then we made the goat yogurt from starter that was cow dairy free.....no difference. Still had strange behavior changes. Blamed it all on casein! So justified using coconut or almond yogurt/kefirs. Then drank the coconut kefir....and had the die off of a life time. Having the strangest looking poop! For those who like to talk about poop! GUESS WHAT GUYS....it was the same reaction that we thought we where having from casein! Both the coconut kefir and the goat yogurt made both cow casein free and with a little cow casein in the started caused the same symptoms!: a.. rage attacks, irritability, strange behavior, hyper activity, being incompliant, ill behaved, not listening. b.. Feeling sleepy, spacey, forgetful, " drunk " and toxic! c.. strange skin rashes, that appear to be die off d.. Dizzy, flue like, stomach aces, cramping, achy, nauseas, plan sick, head aches e.. Strange looking poop that looks like die off! This was DIE OFF not A casein reaction! I hope in the future that Pecan Bread makes this more clear in their web site. This could be very helpful to others, and would have been very helpful to our family. But our experiment now made what Elaine was trying to tell us CRYSTAL CLEAR. To top this off then I read that Elaine said that the casein is rendered Harmless when we turn the goat milk into SCD yogurt! This too needs to be on the front page of the web site. Because it took us two months to figure this out the hard way! Some may never figure it out, due to their paranoia over casein! God know we had a case of this paranoia. Elaine swore by the yogurt, and was a little upset that the asd community was so fearful of casein. Because many many autistic kids and kids on the spectrum have healed using the yogurt. Yes, some have lost their diagnosis! It is a very healthy and wholesome food. And is a MAJOR part of the success those are having on the SCDiet! Without this yogurt success can be compromised and not as good! This is a shame to those that this has happened to. But un like us learned this lesson and now can heal Elaine's way. With the hope of our daughter loosing her diagnosis of autism. We are going back to our goat yogurt. But to control behavior problems from die off will takes others suggestion of not eating a Bowel full, and starting much slower. At least until some of those bad guys had died at a little slower pace. That is if we haven't killed them all with this last killer die off that made us all feel like we where the ones dieing! Oh, we got so sick! When they die all at once...or in high numbers their toxins that they release make a person soooooo very sick! Thank God for Activated Charcoal. A must have for anybody with this type of die off! Hope this helps others in the future, and motivates Pecan Bread to explain this better on their web site. Please anybody contact us personally, we do want this to change. So many parents need to know this information. This casein paranoia needs to stop. So Pecan Bread can save more lives. It is because of this casein paranoia that we didn't do the SCDiet sooner (over nine months ago!). This was the very reason I put the book down. Then I learned that you could do SCD diary free. So we tried it. We all need to know that the casein is rendered harmless with fermentation! So unless it is a true allergy that causes anaphylaxis....we can all enjoy it! Because Elaine said that as the gut heals the sensitivities to many food disappear too! That it is a T cell response, thanks to the vicious cycle in the gut and NOT a typical allergy response (IgE, IgA, IgG)! This needs to be put down on the web sit for us beginners. After all Elaine said it, and this is her SCDiet (that she rescued from S.V. Hass M.D. who saved her daughter Judy's life) that is continuing to save more lives as we speak. Sincerely and to all, Antoinette and her Silly Yaks at the Bunce Zoo (2 mo plus SCD entire family of FIVE and healing from celiac disease/malabsorption and ASD...Elaine Gottschall's way and no other...because we trust her, and our getting our sanity back....and our KiKi back from the depths of autism! OUR guts are finnaly healing when the GFCFSF diet did not work, YEAH! God Bless you Elaine!)

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dear Tara, According to Elaine Gottschall, CASEIN IS RENDERED HARMLESS WHEN YOU FOLLOW THE procedures of making SCD yogurt; there for if you want to try the goat yogurt....don't fear the casein any more. Wow I did it in one sentence! This was tough....for me! Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 It depends on the particular child. I will not give my child (with ASD), dairy of any kind. Coconut yogurt (or nut yogurts) are a good alternative to the dairy yogurt if your child is autistic and you are avoiding dairy. Some children with autism do ok with goat yogurt, some do not.
