getting child to eat the yoghurt

[Guest guest]

My 2 yr. old is on SCD and I am trying to get her to eat the yoghurt. She

seems to tolerate it fine but she doesn't like it. She has yeast issues so I

try to

avoid adding much honey and the taste is sooooo TANGY that she doesn't

like it. I have been making her shakes with yoghurt and fresh legal fruit and

she will drink it fine. Is it ok for her to eat it this way daily? Any other

suggestions for getting her to eat it?

Blessings,

Hi Beth,

You can try dripping the yogurt to remove some of the tartness - If you make

your fruit smoothies with that you can add water or ice to make up the dripped

water that you tossed out. It will make the smoothie less tangy but more

concentrated with good bacteria.

The dripped yogurt is also nice with cooked fruit.

If you drip the yogurt it gets less tangy (and thicker). I bought a " yogurt

cheese dripper "

(http://www.digestivewellness.com/itempage-1048-24-13-1584.html) to help with

this. The longer you leave it in, the thicker the yogurt gets. You can also

drip the yogurt using cheesecloth. My Yogurmet came with a bag for dripping

(but the " box " is the easiest and neatest way I've found to do it).

Good luck,
