Cooking with yogurt will negate the beneficial effects. Freezing will

allow SOME to remain.

You asked:

<<Is SCD yogurt as beneficial if I make some kind of frozen yogurt with fruit

and honey with it? Is the bacteria still active?>>

Many of the bacteria will die if frozen. Impossible to know for sure, but some

may remain alive.

Will your son eat " ranch dip " ? You can make a legal ranch from SCD mayo and a

small amount of yogurt mixed... with legal spices and salt. Then he could eat

steamed baby carrots, green beans, etc.... and dip each one.

Or, what about a smoothie? Ripe banana, crushed ice, a wee bit of yogurt and

splash of vanilla. He'd never know the yogurt was there and you could slowly

increase it to get him used to the taste.

<<Also, Both boys have always eaten raw, peeled apples--can I continue them if

there are no digestive issues to contend with, or do I have to go to cooked?>>

You really need to go with all peeled and cooked fruits and veggies in the

beginning.... if not, you're not really doing SCD as prescribed and you likely

will not have the best results. I'm sure if you're working this hard, you'll

want the very best outcome, in the shortest amount of time. You just can't cut

corners or " push the river " , so to speak.

You really have got to start at square one and move ahead slowly. I know the

kids want to have the foods they are used to.... but the raw apples are really

not advised until later. Probably MONTHS from now.

frozen yogurt?/raw apples

As a newbie here (not completely SCD yet), I'm stuggling to get my 2.75 year

old ASD son to eat some of the things on the beginner diet. Veggies are hard

but veggie pancakes and muffins work well. My biggest problem is that I want

him to eat some yogurt but he refuses it on sight. I have tried both cashew

and goat yogurt (we are casein sesnitive but he tested with a nearly

negligible reaction to goats milk). My one year old NT son with digestive

issues will gobble both kinds up.

Is SCD yogurt as beneficial if I make some kind of frozen yogurt with fruit

and honey with it? Is the bacteria still active? We have been on probiotics

for about two months with good results but I really want to get some yogurt

in the diet.

Also, Both boys have always eaten raw, peeled apples--can I continue them if

there are no digestive issues to contend with, or do I have to go to cooked?

Thanks,

SCD has already overcome the constipation issues for my NT son;

GFCF overcame ASD son's year-long cycle of diarrhea with occasional

flare-ups. As we get closer to completely SCD compliant, flare-ups have

disappeared

One of the sneakiest ways I know of to " hide " yogurt is to drip it

until it is very thick, then add a bit of honey and whip it together

and turn it into " frosting " .

Other ideas are using it in a " milkshake " or mixing it into something

like the Green or Orange Pudding (recipes on pecanbread.com).

Jody, Please tell me what you mean by dripping yogurt? We are just getting

started with my 4 year old autistic grandson on SCD(my daughter & I will do the

diet with him). I am making yogurt in the oven now but know I need to get a

yogurt maker to make it easier tomake.

I will appreciate any info. Sue

" Jody, Please tell me what you mean by dripping yogurt? "

Sure. You can either get a dripping bag (when you get a yogurt maker)

or you can use a colander lines with a coffee filter. Just get a

colander, place it over a bowl and line it with a coffee filter. Pour

the yogurt into the coffee filter and allow it to drip until the

yogurt becomes as thick as you want it. You can let it drip long

enough that it will become like cream cheese in texture.

(I drip mine in the fridge after the 8-hour resting period in the fridge).
