2nd batch of goat milk yogurt, and green juicing led to flare

May 23, 2010

Well, I threw out the second batch of goat yogurt. I don't want to take any

chances, especially after having a bad flare 2 days ago after having juiced

spinach, cilantro and romaine. I think I may have ingested a bad bacteria on one

of the greens, even though I always try to wash it thoroughly. I guess some

bacteria can't be washed off. For the last 3 weeks I was juicing almost everyday

without any problems, but this last time it had me doubled over in pain with bad

d. It's a shame because the green juice always perks me right up, but I'm too

nervous to try it again. I can't think of anything else that could have caused

the flare, but thankfully it was only for one day.

My last batch of goat yogurt (first try) was quite a bit firmer. I'll try again.

I'm really looking forward to it because the first batch was so good and was the

first dairy (besides cultured butter) that I've been able to tolerate in 3

years.

Thanks for the advice!
