Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi everyone! I'm new here. Recently diagnosed with Crohn's and started the SCD 5 days ago. I've browsed a lot of the history here an already found answers to a lot of my questions, and I'm super happy this resource and community is here. My first question is: When making yogurt it's advised to use a yogurt starter or an appropriate store bought yogurt. Can we use our own homemade yogurt as a starter for our next batch of yogurt? If not, how come? Thanks! ~ SCD newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Don't use your own yogurt as a starter, but if you're not casien free you can use Dannon All Natural Yogurt from almost any grocery store. I've heard that the greek yogurt Fage makes a better yogurt (less tart) but I haven't found it yet.

Either is fine - you'll probably end up liking one better than the other, though. Can we use our own homemade yogurt as a starter for our next batch of yogurt? If not, how come?This is not advised because of a possibility that down the line the starter can get contaminated with astrain we are not trying to ferment.Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks for the info everyone. I actually have some starter on hand, I was just hoping to save a buck or two But, thanks to your responses I can see it would not be wise to cut corners in that way. > > > > > > > Don't use your own yogurt as a starter, but if you're not casien free you can use Dannon All Natural Yogurt from almost any grocery store.
