Re: Starting SCD: Cheese in the intro phase?

[Guest guest]

I'm a newbie and can't answer your question about milk on the intro diet, but I

am familiar with SCD for autism and just wanted to clarify that kid with autism

are frequently very sensitive to the casein (protein) in milk, not the lactose.

The 24 hr yogurt still contains casein, but the lactose is gone from the long

fermenting process.

she recommends eating a bunch of SCD yogurt and the cheesecake recipe and

what-not, but looking at Pecanbread.com, for example, it seems 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?

and found that the canker sores that I had ~90% of the time for the last 7 years

went away entirely. While my intestinal issues hadn't gone away entirely, it

was enough to keep me off of carbs until I came across info on SCD (which is

LESS restrictive than my last diet) and started reading up on that.

My suggestion would be, since you were already on a very strict low carb diet for several months, you are probably o.k. adding cheese and yogurt in fairly quickly. I would, however, use moderation until you are certain you can handle them. It sounds like you would need the probiotic benefit from the yogurt, unless you were using probiotic capsules while on the low carb diet. This is because you have killed off the bad bacteria, but in the process (without probiotics or 24 hour yogurt) you gave extra room for the yeast to grow. You might not have a problem with yeast, but I would at least keep an eye out for signs of it if you weren't taking probiotics. Especially if you hit a wall in your healing progress.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3

I've been on the intro diet for a grand total of 1 day, and I had a question regarding milk products in the early stages of the diet.

In the "intro" diet, what milk products are allowed? From BTVC, it seems that she recommends eating a bunch of SCD yogurt and the cheesecake recipe and what-not, but looking at Pecanbread.com, for example, it seems 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?

If some milk products are allowed in the intro phase, can I use SCD-legal cheeses?
