Coconut yogurt and Aloe Vera

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My son has been on SCD for 14 weeks and has been transformed. He is

calmer (very hyper before), has better language both expressive and

receptive and the variety of foods he eats has expanded beyond belief. He

will eat whole avocados, butternut squash chicken etc all of which he

previously wouldn't have touched. He really is enjoying his food.

We have not used goats milk yogurt at all. I am really quite afraid of this

and we also have not introduced honey. I am sure I have read somewhere that

some people make coconut yogurt. I am already making coconut milk into

smoothies, icecream etc with great success. What would you recommend re

coconut yogurt? I have looked in the archives but have not found a recipe.

Finally, I thought we were totally SCD legal but have discovered that Aloe

vera is illegal. takes 20 ml aloe vera in the morning and the

evening. Is this an absolute no? and why?

Thanks

HI Elaine,

I'm happy to hear you've seen such improvement in . How exciting!

Since you haven't used yogurt, are you supplementing with a legal acidophilus?

I know there is a recipe for nut yogurt on www.pecanbread.com , but I don't know

about coconut. I've never made either... my daughter tolerates the cow milk

yogurt.

Here is what Elaine Gottschall's website says about aloe vera:

<< It contains mucilaginous polysaccharides as well as increasing the release of

tumor necrosis factor which is associated with IBD inflammation and increased

immune stimulation. >>

Elaine,

Aloe is an absolute no as it is full of polysaccharides and not legal for SCD.

Although the Wholistic community raves about its great properties for intestinal

problems, Elaine knew that it was rather dangerous.
