Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Cindy, It's me Antoinette! THIS IS WHAT WE DO AND DID. We can't keep the yogurt around long enough to go bad. We didn't know to go slow, we jumped into a bowl full from the start! Not suggested for everyone, but worked for us. As you know we came casein/free gluten free/soy free/grainfree ect. And full of fear of the dairy! You know how the autistic community feeds this fear? But we where desperate, for our daughter's " visious cycle " to be ending. She was becoming sicker by the month eating the other ways. More and more autistic and looking very malnourished and not gaining or growing well. Even though we where feeding her well. At first we thought the die off reacton was a reaction to the casein! But Mimi the owner of Pecan Bread helped to set us straight. We had remarkable improvements after a very difficult transition and die off reaction. I later found out that this is truly the reason they tell people to go slow. So this die off reacton is not as miserable. And so that it doesn't scare those away, because they confuse it for a casein reaction, when it is not! You see Elaine said that in a 24 hour batch of SCD yogurt that the casein is denatured and often doesn't cause such a reacton. Going slow, does take longer. Some like us don't have the time to spare! Got to Goat Yogurt Preperation to read this. www.pecanbread.com In a way I am glad we hadn't been given this advice, and went by the BTVC book. After this first die off, we saw an " awakening " from our daughter. This is when we realized that we may not need much assistance from any DAN! doctor. We saw many ASD traits vanish in our daughter! She began to grow and look better too! We also didn't need to use the enzymes that where suggested. After discoveirng the hard way, that the protease caused us many problems and much pain. Later to find out that some with intestinal damage can not tolerate it! That Elaine feared the stuff for those of us with intestinal problems. That in a nut shell....and something to think about. Hope others can guide you too! WE are doing great going by the book! Wouldn't do it any other way. God Bless, Sincerely, Antoinette and (both celiac) Parents to Kiki-2 ASD and improving, -5 was ADHD, Xena-1 WAS Hyperekplexia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Cindy, You can use the rest to make different recipes. Cooking the yogurt will destroy the beneficial bacteria, but it makes a very tasty addition to the recipes that call for it. Or you can just eat it yourself and replenish your own GI tract with beneficial bacteria. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
