that they prefer holding off on Yogurt for ~3 months. Is this because

Pecanbread.com is more focused on Autism, and Autism is more sensitive to

Lactose? <<

SCD-legal dairy (yogurt, dry curd cottage cheese, hard cheeses) is

typically lactose free. The difference between the Pecanbread web site

and what is recommended in BTVC is that many children with autism have

been casein-free (because one of the dietary recommendations prior to the

use of SCD for autism was gluten-free and casein-free) and their parents

are naturally concerned about reintroducing something which has been

demonstrated to be a problem for many autistic children. It was

determined that, after the removal of the polysaccharides so common in

GF/CF diets, gut healing could occur, and the children could often

tolerate SCD-yogurt because the long fermentation modified the milk

protein to make it more digestible. It was also determined that goat's

milk yogurt worked better with children with autism, because the protein

structure is different.

>> If some milk products are allowed in the intro phase, can I use

SCD-legal cheeses? <<

Absolutely. One of my favorite dishes was (and is) peeled steamed

zucchini with home-shredded cheddar cheese. I have a hard time thinking

casein-free because I'm a cheese-o-holic.

Welcome to the list -- sorry you needed to find us, but glad you

did!
