was: 1 week SCD and ???'s--now my question re:yogurt

[Guest guest]

We are trying the yogurt now. It took us a year to try it...a little more. I

have to say, it has been a couple weeks since we started the nut yogurt and

a week since we started the goat. My son has never been more aggressive,

difficult, and out of it. Seriously, it's horrific. I REALLY hope that this

is die off and not a reaction to the dairy. I really thought that things

would start to look up after 2 weeks but in some ways things are getting

worse. How much longer do I give it before I pull the plug?

Re: 1 week SCD and ???'s

Hi. New to the SCD. Been doing GF/CF for over a year. My son is

currently taking coconut kefir as his main probiotic. I am

understanding that young coconuts are illegal on scd, and that the

homemade yogurt is the probiotic of choice. Do you all supplement with

additional probiotics, or only do the yogurt?

Thanks.
