Re: Dry Curd Cottage Cheese Lifespan???

You may want to experiment. IF you have been eating strict SCD, The gut may

have healed enough to have changed this sensitivity. It could be gone by now.

Many IgA problems are not " true allergy...and can vanish with SCDiet.

Only three months healing, I can now tolerate it. I was casein intolerant

Dry Curd Cottage Cheese Lifespan???

Last summer when I went gung-ho and tried my son on the SCD, I went

right by BTVC and special ordered some DCCC at outrageous shipping

prices. We went off SCD before using it, in spite of his doing well,

because of some expensive IgG test results (BIGGEST mistake ever!) and

I still have the durn stuff in my freezer. How long does it last in a

deep freezer? This time, we have been doing SCD dairy free and Cody's

around stage 2 right now, still cooked fruits, added nut butter goods-

doing awesome! I have been searching for local goat's milk and have a

few leads and plan to start the goat yogurt soon. Eventually, I'd

like to work up to cow dairy. Cody is not ASD, but we removed milk at

age 1 to alleviate eczema and chronic ear infections. A more recent

enterolab stool test showed high IgA reaction to casein, no true

allergy (IgE) to it has ever shown though.

Do I need to just toss the DCCC or is there still hope for it in the

future? I'm trying to make room in my freezer for fresh veggies as

they are coming in, but hate to throw away something so expensive.

Thanks if anyone has any input!

Hi Janet,

I'd thaw it out and see what it looks like. It won't have spoiled, but the

texture may be " off " . Might still be useable in a recipe, though. Try it and let

us know!

Thanks Antoinette for responding,

So, right now he is eating nut butter based goods (very moderate

amounts), meats, very few veggies (working on that!), plenty of eggs,

bananas, butternut squash, homemade apple, pear and peach sauces. I

see an imbalance of too much fruit I'm trying to correct, but the

veggies are hard to get past him unless he is starving.

Do you think we should go ahead and try the yogurt now or is it too

soon?

I am getting REALLY REALLY confused on what to do when and I've got my

BTVC book out on loan. Need a new copy ASAP!

Janet,

Have you tried sneaking veggie purees into the baked goods? Recipes on

pecanbread.com?

Dear Janet, Nut butters are an advanced food according to Pecan Bread. If he is

tolerating them well go ahead and use them. A few of us in this house where

able to go to advanced foods after the first two weeks. They where not as sick,

intestines where not as damaged. My daughter and I had to stick with foods that

where proven easy to digest (advanced celiac disease). Elaine said, that what

the body does not digest does harm. This is because it sits and ferments in the

gut. .....and can feed the bad guys! YUK!

The BTVC book says to use the Yogurt from day one. Pecan Bread says to go slow,

to avoid severe die off reaction. We went faster than this because my daughter

was so sick, we needed to break this vicious cycle sooner than later. It was

our rationale to start with it. Die off was not fun, but when over...she

started to try and talk for the first time.....and had her first " social " smile.

So it worked this way for us. Today she is eating a cup or more (goat) without

ill affect. WE to came casein free. We are going to try the cow next.

After the " addiction " to all the old foods pass, my kids started to like their

veggies. Keep offering them to him. Try to hide them in stuff. Ask for recipes

to how to do this. Pecan Bread has some good ones!

Yes you do need your BTVC book, if you are trying to do this by the book lol!

Hope this helps, Sincerely, Antoinette (entire family of five healing when no

other way worked, since 2/06)
