Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi, first a little history. My son has been on SCD since the middle of Feb. 07 He has done extremly well and we've progressed very slowly. We've had the usual set backs based on colds, ear infections etc. I am not sure where these last months have gone, but I'm just now two weeks into introducing goat yogurt with pro gurt. I have a couple of questions about the goat yogurt that I've made. I read what the consistancy should be like and how to drip it. Everything looks normal there. But because I am introducing such a small amount, so slowly, I have 6 little jars left over around the going bad date. So I took the left overs from the first couple of batches and froze them. I realize that all of the good bacteria dies with freezing and cooking. But I also see that a lot of recipes have the yogurt in it. And that it will be frozen or cooked. So my questions are: Am I on the right track with not wasting the yogurt and freezing it to be used in the recipes that call for it? And I read that we keep the yogurt refridgerated for up to two weeks. We are only giving my son 1/2 a teaspoon a day at this point. How quickly can I increase it? I read somewhere that 3 cups a day is the max. I am not seeing any challenges with the yogurt. His stools remain normal and consistant. But I know we are still dealing with yeast. His little belly goes back and forth with being bloasted. And after we get the yogurt down I'd like to introduce home made pecan butter. He's not able to do almonds yet. Thank you, :)Aimee 2 1/2 yr son, leaky gut, heavy metals, yeast-SCD 8 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, Aimee, I do not know how the frozen yogurt will do in future recipes. If no one here knows, you can try joining and asking this group: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/scdrecipe_creators/ The max on yogurt consumption is 2 cups, with occasional additional amounts being ok. The probiotics in the yogurt will have a good effect for about 2 weeks. If you want to just eat yogurt or cook with it without being concerned that it has enough probitics, then you can keep it 3 weeks. Going very slowly with yogurt is what we advise because yogurt is extremely helpful and we don't like to see people stopping it when they see a bad/die off reaction from going too fast. I will tell you I did not introduce the yogurt for all that slowly, and it was fine. But that was us; your child might be different. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
