SCD Yogurt Question

[Guest guest]

I am making the SCD yogurt for the first time, and was just wondering

if there's a way for me to make it taste better. I have never liked

yogurt-almost makes me sick. I just have a feeling I'm not going to

like it. I'm hoping to do the first 5 days of the diet. Also, a

question about the diet. I have ulcerative colitis and have been having

a really bad flare. My doctor put me on prednisone (have been taking

asacol). After being on it for a week, I was not much better. He then

had me do 3 infusions of a steroids. I had some improvement, but not

enough. I'm still seeing blood. Now, he's talking about putting me on

imuran. I'm getting really scared. I really don't want to take it

(scared of the side affects). That's why I'm really interested it this

diet. Can anyone tell me, how soon after doing the diet does the blood

go away.

Thanks for any advice.

SCD yogurt tastes different than store bought yogurt. The Progurt

starter makes a very mild tasting yogurt. My husband doesn't like it

because he likes the " acidic bite " of regular yogurt. To remove some

of the acidity of any 24 hr yogurt you can drip the yogurt.

Some add fruit and honey to their yogurt.

If still having bleeding you may want to avoid the yogurt at least

until after you do the intro diet. When ready to the yogurt start

small and gradually increase it - (treat it like medicine).

Bleeding is often one of the last symptoms to go away. Heavy

bleeding often stops sooner and diarrhea and constipation also stops

sooner for most when they start with the intro diet. How often are

your bm's?
