Re: Newbie making yogurt...Need help!!

[Guest guest]

Hey !

It's me mom of the twins, Garrett and . How are you? Yes, you can make

yogurt with milk and and commercial yogurt as a starter. That recipe is fine.

But you would want to make sure the yogurt you used as a starter did not have

Bifidus and that the milk you used did not have Carageenen or Polysorbate 80.

It is best to use organic in this case.

But, it would be better to use the goat milk. I buy Meyenburg from Wal Mart

or Publix. Some say their children do not like it. Mine do not have any

problems with that brand and it is easy to find around here. I also use progurt

from giprohealth.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

It's me again!

I am in the middle of making yogurt and I went to Elaines website to

do a little reading and I came across the yogurt recipe.

The recipe on the website talks about using GOAT MILK and PROGURT

starter. The recipe in the book says you can use REGULAR MILK and

PLAIN, UNSWEETENED YOGURT.

I am in the middle of using the recipe from the book. Is that recipe

no longer used??? Should I be using goat milk and progurt instead???

I found the Progurt online but I have no idea where in the world I

can find Goat Milk.

I messed up my first batch of yogurt this afternoon and I was so

proud of myself when I got this batch right ~~~ now I'm wandering if

this batch is completely wrong too :-(

Boy, I'm just having a week full of obstacles.....but I would have

never made it through without all of you!

I have no problem starting over, I just don't want to give her

yogurt that is no good. Thanks for your help (again),

For the kids with autism who have been casein free prior to starting SCD, we

strongly recommend goat milk yogurt. This is pretty clear (I hope!) on the

www.pecanbread.com website. The book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, was not

originally written for use with kids on the autism spectrum, although there is a

chapter on autism in the newest edition. I think it directs parents to go read

the pecanbread website.

Well.... anyway....

IF she was casein free, you'll want to introduce the yogurt made with goat milk.

Goat milk yogurt is sort of the standard around here, and the ProGurt starter is

popular because it contains no trace of cow dairy in it's production.

But if your child was already using cow dairy products before SCD without any

problems, you could use cow milk to make your yogurt. My daughter tolerates cow

dairy, so that's what I use.

HOWEVER.... plain unsweetened yogurt for starter is not as readily available as

it once was when she wrote the book. Most plain yogurts these days have added

bacterial strains that are NOT legal, unfortunately. The four allowed strains

that your starter yogurt can have are: l.acidophilus, s. thermophilus,

l.bulgaricus & l.casei. No bifidus strains are legal at all..... and many

commercial yogurts have gone to adding those.

Your plain starter yogurt cannot have any added starches or thickeners.... no

" carrageenan " or added milk solids. What brand name are you trying to use?

I use the Yogourmet yogurt starter from Lyosan.... as I have not been able to

find ANY legal plain yogurt to use as starter. Yogourmet has a bit of cow dairy

in it, which is why goat yogurt families tend to avoid it.

Patti,

I just read your message about waiting to start the yogurt....Maybe

it's a good thing that I messed this batch up :-)

I will hold off for a bit then, but if anyone could let me know if I

should be using goat milk instead of cow milk, I would appreciate it.

I would like to order the Progurt if I need it also.

Thanks again,

Just curious, do you use their regular starter or the probiotic one?

Only their regular one is legal on SCD.... the one that contains only

l.acidophilus, s.thermophilus and l.bulgaricus.

Both recipes are correct. Some who are sensitive to cow milk can use

the easier to digest goat's milk. People have also used reindeer

milk, sheep's milk and at least one other that I can't think of at

the moment. For yogurt starter you can use SCD legal commercial

starters or a good non dairy starter.

You can find these at

To find goat's milk use this link:

The second batch is probably fine but if you used cow dairy you may

want to hold off on using that for your daughter. She may be

sensitive (at least for now) to the cow dairy. When you start yogurt

for her you may have better luck using the goat yogurt since it is

easier to digest. You could eat this batch of yogurt instead of

tossing it. Or drip it and make a thick yogurt cheese.
