freezing yogurt and probiotic properties

[Guest guest]

If I freeze yogurt and it loses probiotic properties, can I give my

son more than what he has worked up to? He loves it, and will try many

more foods if I use yogurt or " cheese " on it.

It does lose some of its' probiotic properties (ie. freezing kills some

of the good bacteria). Freezing shouldn't have any effect on the

enzymes present in the SCD yogurt and will not have any effect on

minerals like calcium etc.. If your son is still pretty sensitive

bowel-wise, slowly increase the amount of SCD frozen yogurt, don't make

a big increase all at once. This should prevent a reaction to the

increased yogurt enzymes and minerals etc.
