Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I find that interesting because if I get a yeast infection I will put yogurt down there for relief. It may be a die-off reaction. Sheila would probably know better. Charlene <>< Charlene Flikkema Choir Director Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville Spirit Led! Galations 5:16 Yeast & yogurt Hi, Can the SCD yogurt cause yeast infections?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 This can also mean that the yogurt is working... often when probiotics especially a strong one is introduced, yeast will get worse before it gets better.. think of it as the yeast's " last horah " .. trying valiantly to survive, then eventually dying off.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi Sheila, Thank you for answering. I use the directions on the Yogourmet starter instructions. I bring cows milk to 180 degrees or till it boils. Then I let it cool down to between 108 - 112 degrees ( usually to 110 degrees), stir the starter in a small cupful of the cooled milk,then take that and mix with the rest of milk. I incubate it for 24 hours, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Some people have suggested die-off. I hope that is what it is because this is getting frustrating! If it was die-off, how long would that last? I have been on SCD since May 2006 (my son December 2005). Would you suggest some natural yeast remedies? I have been thinking of S. Boulardi for my son for his Crohns, would this be good for yeast? Also, would you suggest Oil of Oregano? Please let me know if I am making it wrong or not. My main concern is for my son who has been eating it- he does not need anymore problems! Thanks so much Sheila! Glad to see you are back! I hope you are doing well!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi, I also meant to ask why it would cause yeast if it is not fermented enough or incorrectly?

It is a sugar, so could feed yeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I let it cool down to between 108 - 112 degrees ( usually to 110 degrees)>> You should follow the yogurt making instructions that are in BTVC (also on pecanbread) and cool the milk to room temperature or lower. If the milk is too warm it can cause thermal shock and kill some of the bacteria that you need to ferment the lactose in the milk. << Some people have suggested die-off. I hope that is what it is because this is getting frustrating! If it was die-off, how long would that last?>> When you eat the yogurt do you add fruit and/or honey to sweeten it? << I have been on SCD since May 2006 (my son December 2005).

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi Belle, If not fermented suficiently the lactose that is undigested may feed some yeast and cause an overgrowth of yeast.
