Re: need recommendation for non-cow butter; raw nuts

[Guest guest]

Hi Jzin,

Coconut butter is a popular alternative..

Store bought nut milks are not suitable for SCD

Dear, Jzin, I truly do not know if you can make butter out of sheep

or goat. When we where casein free we used Coconut Oil (it is like

a " butter " ) and spreads well on things and has a wonderful anti-

candida quality!

I would be careful with the raw foods. If you are not healed enough

to tolerate them they WILL cause problems. We have followed the

guidelines in the BTVC book on when to introduce foods and are

benifiting from doing so.

We are only four months out and not even eating whole nuts yet and

even some raw fruits and vegetables are out still. You see, Elaine

said that what the body doesn't digest does harm, because it

ferments and keeps the vicious cycle going. Gut dysbiosis never

gets to go back into balance. This is not good.

She also said that many can tolerate the 24 hour yogurt if they

are " allergic " to dairy. That the proteins are denatured and do not

cause the same reaction in some of us. It also helps in adding the

good gut flora that helps in breaking the vicious cycle. We didn't

have the same success with powder probiotics.

SCDiet is also known to heal the gut, when done by the book, so that

SOME allergies, intolerances,and sensitivities can vanish.

Cosco has nuts that are very affordable, but please be careful with

them. The milks are to be used liberaly if also eating nut flours.

BTVC also said that too many nuts are not good.

I truly do not think that thier is a legal Almond milk or nut milk

for sell. AS some already know, we came gluten free, casien free

and with countless other food intolerances (oxylates,

phenols/salysilates and some of other lectins).

Now can tolerate the yogurt, and most other foods well. No

allergies any more. WE too had runny noses, amoung many horrible

reactions. Truly, most allergies, sensitivities and intolerances

are gone. It has been worth it following it by the book (chapter 9

and 10), because now we can eat yogurt, cheese, a little butter and

more! NO problems with oxylates and phenols either.

When we where in your shoes, we never thought this day would come.

At one time we where so limited in what we could eat. Our list was

getting smaller and smaller...now it grows. What a blessing this

has been.

Hope this helps to give hope, Antoinette and family of five doing

better than we expected for only four months out!

Coconut oil is one alternative.

Commercial goat butter will probably be hard to find since goats

don't normally give much cream and most species have " naturally

homogenized " milk (at least relative to cows were it readily

seperates). If you look for the commercial be careful because a few

that I found online were made from whey instead of cream - read all

the fine print and how they made it.

Are you interested in making your own goat/sheep butter?

Some of these may have raw but I am not sure

Never use raw peanuts and have a look at

" Nuts " in the " Knowledge Base " section at

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

> is there an SCD nut milk sold out there?

TMK, there are still no commercial nut milks that are legal, you

need to make your own. Recipes for nut milk can be found at

Yes, you know nut milk is easy to make...

1 cup raw nuts, almonds, sunflower seeds etc

3-4 cups water

1 T honey

Grind the nuts in you blender with 1-1/2 cups water until as smooth

as it gets. Slowly add the rest of the water and the honey. Strain

in a nut bag squeezing out all the " milk " from the pulp. (You can

use cheese cloth , but you will need several layers to get it

properly strained.) You can use the pulp for other things. Look in

your raw foods cook books for other ideas. Alyssa Cohen has a great

website for raw foods and she sells nut bags. They cost about

$9.00, but they last a long time if you take care of them

Elaine cautioned on the use of seeds too early in the diet or in

using them in large quantities. Seeds contain cyanide and if you

use them to make a " milk " you may be getting a lot of cyanide.

For more details please see the topics labelled " Seeds " , Seeds and

Seed flours and " Seed Butters " at the Knowledge base at

The pulp/residue should not be used for those doing SCD. With all

the good stuff (in the milk) all that is left in the pulp is food

for the microbes that you are trying to starve with SCD.

Goat butter can be purchased. It is expensive though.

I've not seen sheep butter before.

Nuts4u sells a lot of different types of nuts.

There are other places as well. Just type in " raw nuts " into google

and I'm sure you'll find numerous sources.

My daughter uses the spectrum non-hydrogenated shortening just like

butter. If you can find a butter flavor you trust you can add that

to it.
