Yogurt Investigation/ was Re: SCD success was Name calling and Arguing

[Guest guest]

Hi Becky,

I always try to find out why things go wrong with the yogurt.

Please send me the post number of these SCD stories on the GFCFkids

list.

I used to search for SCD on that GFCFkids list and the one SCD

person who did return to GFCFkids was a mother named M-----. M,from

what I recall used the cow yogurt(not what we recommend). She found

out that her son did great with SCD in the beginning but that

afterwards,the improvements did not last. She returned to GFCF

because she was expecting a 4th or 5th child and did not have the

time to implement a diet that was not producing great results. There

was no casein horror story,just a mother who was overwhelmed. I am

willing to send you links to M's posts in private email for you to

check or you may ask M if we can repost some of her old emails to

our list.

I did not check the GFCFkids list for awhile so there might be new

reports.

It sounds strange that a parent would return to GFCF just because

their kid did not tolerate the yogurt since we ask the parents to

wait until there are IMPROVEMENTS in the gut before trying the

yogurt.

We have had some parents who found out that their children did not

tolerate the yogurt but the bad reactions discontinued shortly after

the yogurt was eliminated. The parents then resumed dairy free SCD.

Why run back to GFCF if you saw gut improvement with your child

prior to trying the yogurt? Our website is full of recipes that are

dairy free;there is no SCD police to come to your house and force

you to eat the yogurt.

My guess is that these parents tried the yogurt right at the

beginning of the diet,saw some die off to SCD and were so scared of

casein that they blamed the yogurt for the die off AND NEVER

EXPERIENCED THE GREAT RESULTS WITH SCD.

I have been very actively participating on the SCD lists for

children since the first SCD children's list began. Yes,we have had

some bad reactions but they last about a week after you stop the

yogurt. The worst that I remember was a child who had a reaction

that lasted 3 weeks but the mother blamed herself for increasing the

amount of yogurt too fast. Casein,unlike gluten,leaves the body very

fast.
