Re: homemade yoghurt starter

Don't be surprised that your yogurt will be super duper tart. It takes some

getting used to. If you can handle a little honey, I'd start out adding

honey and fruit(like ripe banana) to the yogurt. Have you considered using

the yogurt starter from GI Pro Health? It is very reasonably priced, and

goes a really long way. My son has been on scd for five months now, and I'm

just now nearing the bottom of the container. Again, the yogurt will be

very very tart no matter what, and the goat yogurt will be very runny.

's yogurt is not legal..... can't be used as a starter.... because it has

bifidum bacteria. You MUST use either one of the recommended yogurt starters, OR

a commercial yogurt that contains ONLY the strains that have been okayed. Those

should be:

l.acidophilus, s.thermophilus, and l.bulgaricus. If it should happen to also

have s.boulardii in it, that would be acceptable, though I doubt you'll see a

commercial yogurt with that bacterial strain in it.

Nothing with bifidus, bifido, or bifidum in any part of the name for the strain.

homemade yoghurt starter

What brand of commercial yoghurt could I use as a starter for homemade

goat yoghurt? I tried 's brand at the healthfood store and it by

itself tasted horrible so like a moron I put it in with the raw goat's

milk and now the whole batch tastes that way. It is just too tart.

Thanks,

Trish

Thank you. I did use the 's brand but I didn't give him any!

whew. Okay, I guess I'm going to have to just break down and get a

dairy free starter then. GI Health is in Canada right? How much

would they charge to ship the starter? I was going to get my son's

probiotics from them but I chose Kirkman's SCD legal probiotics due

to the shipping costs... There is a starter at our local health food

store but it has skim milk in it. And I haven't found a commercial

yogurt that i'd like to use yet. And 's brand is out...

Why not try the Yogourmet starter? Is that the one you found in your local

health food store? I mean... yes, maybe it has a trace of skim milk powder....

but all of that is converted in the yogurt making process. If you were willing

to use the 's (thinking the bacterial strains were legal), you don't

necessarily need to use a dairy free starter. That's only for those who are

making goat yogurt and are highly reactive to cow milk... so much so that even

the slightest trace could cause a reaction.... or for those that make nut yogurt

and want to avoid the slightest speck of ANY kind of dairy. I've always used

Yogourment starter myself... makes a great SCD yogurt. I order it from Lucy's

Kitchen Shop in Washington state.

Can i use this starter for the oven method or is it only for use with a yogurt

making

machine? Would it be a little easier to tolerate than fresh cow yogurt as a

starter?

Trish, If you can use the yogurmet, I would. It is far more economical. I order

straight from Quebec which is where the company is based since I am in Canada

and I get a package of 12 for just under $12.
