Yogurt Tastes Like Glue & Bleh

[Guest guest]

I made the first batch of goat yogurt using Yogourmet starter and it

tastes like glue and is real bitter. My 2 year old son barely tasted

it and shuddered. Heck, I tasted it and almost gagged. Any advice

on how to sweeten it or how to make it taste like heaven?

Also, how many breakdowns do you have in a week - all the hours of

cooking then the picky eating toddlers turning their heads and going

on food strikes? I've made banana pancakes, apple pancakes, chicken

muffins, chicken pancakes, squash, etc. in the last few days - all to

no avail. The only things he continues eating are meat, eggs, and

fruit smoothies.

Thanks for your support and advice. This is one of the most

challenging times I've had. I almost miss colic -

(who has alot of questions right about now)

Hi, .

I think the fact that your son consumes smoothies is wonderful. You

can just keep sneaking vegetables into the smoothies. Continue to

offer vegetables in other forms and reward for trying so that some day

you won't have to be sneaky. But you can get a lot of healthful carbs

into smoothies, so do not despair!

We put honey and a drop of vanilla into a serving of goat yogurt.

Sometimes we make SCD jam, usually peach because legal frozen peaches

are easy to come by where we live. We sweeten the jam to taste with

honey and stir it into the yogurt.

really likes dripped vanilla/honey yogurt with a banana sliced in.

It is extremely frustrating when you are innovative and energetic in

cooking something and your child wants nothing to do with it.

BUT, I must say, it sure feels GREAT when something is a hit!

I, too, consider SCD the greatest challenge I have ever taken, and we

own a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and every 30 days for 30 days straight,

either my husband or I lies in there every night with our son for two

hours.

It is amazing what you will do for love.
