Re: I'm sooooo confused!

[Guest guest]

Many who come to the SCD solution who where GFCFSF do not realize something

totally cool about SCD dairy. I came truly paralyzed with fear! I knew the

affects of casein on me and my kids. We are talking " rage attacks " ....it never

happened with SCD diary. The yogurt did cause " die off " reaction that feels

like the flu though. But this is different than " true allergy " or exorphine

reaction.

When we ferment the yogurt for 24 hours....it changes the molecular structure of

the casein. Here is what Elaine said:

The Process of Making Yogurt Changes the Casein

From Elaine Gottschall:

When we make yogurt and the pH falls to about 4.5 rather than 7.1-2 (as in fluid

milk), the proteins are denatured which means that because of the acidity, the

proteins lose their 3 dimensional structure (sterochemistry) which would be the

reason allergists worry about casein. In yogurt and in the natural cheeses, the

casein is denatured into a two-dimensional structure which would be less likely

to cause allergic reactions.

Plus, if you use Goat instead of cow...this also decreases the risk of immune

reaction or exorphine reaction.

When we eat the cheese that are hard and a minimum of 30 day aged....the casein

is denatured also. Goat Cheddar is often suggested to try first.

I say go slow. As the leaky gut heals and the gut flora goes into a health

state.....many of these strange sensitivities vanish.

Hi All,

First of all I would like to thank everyone who took the time to answer my

question(s). You have been very helpful. It seems that with each answer comes

another question. So, here I go again. It seems like some people follow the

pecanbread intro diet while others follow the breaking the vicious cycle intro

diet. Is it a matter of preference or a matter of whether or not you came to the

diet already GFCF? The BTVC diet seems a little more varied and consequently

more enticing so I would love to use that one if at all possible (I think we

could stay on it for the full five days with the cheesecake and yogurt being an

option). However, we are coming to this diet after being GFCF (with much

success) for several months so I'm guessing we should use the pecanbread

version? Also, if we go with the pecanbread version of the intro diet, the way I

understand it from your posts, the reading, websites, etc is that we wait until

2-3 months into the diet, or around the same time as

introducing stage 3 foods, to introduce the yogurt and butter? That's what I've

concluded thus far. I must admit I am really anxious to try the yogurt as we are

really battling yeast and bacteria and I think getting rid of it once and for

all will be the final step in 's recovery. Since the yogurt seems more

powerful than any probiotic, I am definitely excited about the prospect of

trying it it, but certainly not at the risk of ruining the benefits of the diet.

Once again ANY help/advice is much appreciated. Thanks again.
