Re: Lactose-cream better over time?

[Guest guest]

>> When I first tried to eat lactose treated cream that I made into

ice-cream, I reacted badly- mucus in the ears, heavy dark circles under

my eyes and gas/bloating. But I tried it again a week or 2 later and I

had no reaction(2 separate times).

The 2 things I can think of are that the lactase needed much longer than

24-48 hours to work or that it needed the colder temp in the freezer. I

always think of enzymes needing the warm temp of our bodies to become

active but I suppose the manufacturer can adjust this. I used Pharmax

liquid lactose and always add a little extra to be sure.

Well, my first thought is that you're not supposed to be using

lactase-treated cream to make ice cream.

You can use small amounts in coffee or tea, but you aren't supposed to be

eating it. Make SCD yogurt out of the cream, and then make your ice

cream.

Secondly, if you're going to insist on doing this, did you allow the

lactase time to work before making the ice cream? You should add the

lactase to the cream, and then refrigerate it, shaking every couple of

hours for 24-48 hours. THEN make your ice cream, and freeze it.

But you'll really do much better if you make SCD yogurt from the cream

and make your ice cream from that.
