Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 When I first tried to eat lactose treated cream that I made into ice-cream, I reacted badly- mucus in the ears, heavy dark circles under my eyes and gas/bloating. But I tried it again a week or 2 later and I had no reaction(2 separate times). The 2 things I can think of are that the lactase needed much longer than 24-48 hours to work or that it needed the colder temp in the freezer. I always think of enzymes needing the warm temp of our bodies to become active but I suppose the manufacturer can adjust this. I used Pharmax liquid lactose and always add a little extra to be sure.

Well, my first thought is that you're not supposed to be using lactase-treated cream to make ice cream. You can use small amounts in coffee or tea, but you aren't supposed to be eating it. Make SCD yogurt out of the cream, and then make your ice cream. Secondly, if you're going to insist on doing this, did you allow the lactase time to work before making the ice cream? You should add the lactase to the cream, and then refrigerate it, shaking every couple of hours for 24-48 hours. THEN make your ice cream, and freeze it. But you'll really do much better if you make SCD yogurt from the cream and make your ice cream from that. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks Marilyn- yes as mentioned it sat for 24-48 hours first. I usually do make yogurt ice cream but made this for my non-SCD family and tried a bit of it. Why did I ever try it a second time after the first bad reaction, you may be wondering? Because it was the best tasting ice cream ever! Better then any of my yogurt ones. I really am fascinated by the change over time, it was distinct.
