Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 hi all, i am just wondering what others do when they introduce yogurt... i introduced it twice before and we failed miserably (lasted a week before we had upper resp infection and extreme temps) but i introduced it a couple of months ago and so far so good! the only thing i am doing different is using a phenol assist enzyme (as well as a complete with isogest which is what i used the other two failed attempts). my biomed doctor said that yogurt does contain phenols so maybe that was our problem before? we started with 1 tsp and worked our way upto 2 tbls. i thought is was worth posting incase this could help someone else introduce the yogurt? the only thing i am wondering is... the point of the yogurt is to get all that good bacteria into the gut to do its work and i am thinking that giving the enzymes with the yogurt is breaking down the bacteria before it makes the journey... does anyone know what affect enzymes have on the yogurt??? what does everybody else do in order for their kids to tolerate the yogurt? thanks, roweena x mum to audrey scd since june 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that all the bacteria are killed (if any), but it depends on a lot of parameters. If you haven't increased the amount of enzyme as you increase the yogurt you are probably getting some bacteria and the the other factors in the yogurt may be promoting healing in the gut. 1 tsp can be a large amount of yogurt to start with. We usually suggest 1/8 tsp for beginners. Some of your problems may have been die off. I wouldn't be suprised if the enzymes helped with die off.
