If you add milk powder in any significant amount, you will also add

buckets of lactose which it's impossible for the yogurt fairies to magick

out of your yogurt, even with a 24 hour fermentation time.

You would do much better to add full cream to your full fat milk if you

want to add calories.

exactly flaring badly but my stools are sloppy (and very smelly) but only

once a day (sorry about yucky details). <<

So what are you eating now. Stage Two. What items on Stage Two? Anything

you're interested in having for Stage Three? I have to wonder, once

again, if the Pecan Bread stages, while a useful tool, aren't causing

people to limit themselves unnecessarily.

If you tolerate it, BUTTER on every vegetable you eat.

Naomi,Just a side note here. If you are really on only 2mg of prednisone, you might be better off going off of it. It can raise the level of sugar circulating in your blood and that can feed yeast, among other things. Normally the body will store excess sugar (sugar as in food digested and broken down to it's smallest components, not as in table sugar/sucrose) as fat, but one of the things that I have heard prednisone does is keep more of it in circulation. Have you considered taking fish oil or bromelain to help with inflammation instead of the prednisone?AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 4:36:46 AMSubject: Full cream milk powder- Need to gain weight!
