Re: Cream

[Guest guest]

Heavy cream is allowed on SCD if you use lactose drops for " eating up " the

rest of the lactose in the cream. I have an old post from Carol that gives a

source for buying the drops. I'll forward it back out to the group.

Meleah Cream

Hi everyone. I am asking if there has been a past discussion of using cream

in the diet. I

know that the book " Breaking the VC " recommends against it. I also am aware

that the

btvc.info website says cream contains " lactose " . But cream should be all

fat.

Has anyone tried any types of physical processes (other then 24h

fermentation to make

French cream) to eliminate any milk contamination with lactose?

What have previous discussions said about the use of unpasteurized " raw

cream " which is

recommended in other " no complex carb or disacc + plenty of naturally

fermented foods "

diets?

Did Elaine (or someone else) ever suggest using raw cream combined with

enzymes once on

the diet for some time?

Hello, Dr. Bowman,

I was not privileged to be part of this diet " back in the day " , but I

have searched and I find no evidence that Elaine recommended raw

cream. Meleah is digging up the info on the lactease drops that

enable some to enjoy regular cream. Best wishes as you start the diet.

No, no physical processes with cream -- well,

other than turning it onto butter and disposing

of the remainder! can be used, for SCD. But you

can make an absolutely astonishing yogurt with

it! And, you can use Lacteeze drops (Lact-Aid no

longer manufactures their drops in the US) in the

cream alone, allow it to sit for 24 hours, and

use small amounts of this on coffee and tea.
