Re: Re:Re: Alternatives to SCD Yogurt?

[Guest guest]

Elliott I see Marilyn has already answered your questions, but I thought I’d share my experiences with yogurt and probiotic supplements in case it will help. Many folks find that dripping yogurt makes it better tolerated. I was one of them. Most of us Kiim, I'm assuming that is a typo and that you meant to write *some [few] of us*. find we have to start off “low and slow” with yogurt, meaning start off with a spoonful once a week, then twice a week then slowly, over months, increasing the amount and frequency. Sometimes our bodies reject yogurt until some healing has occurred. I couldn’t tolerate it until my 4th month on SCD, swallowing it that is, I used it as a topical for the candida-related rashes and thrush I was dealing with. So you may want to wait a week or so before trying the yogurt again; or if your body reacts, wait a few weeks before doing so.

> Most of us do start off low and slow, right?

Well, some of us do. I think we tend to hear more from the people with problems

reacting

to yogurt than the people who start off with 1/2 cup and are fine. IOW, we hear

about the

problem cases.

Perhaps it was something unclear in your sentence however - since you went with

" low and

slow " - to a phrase that looked like it was defining that as starting with one

teaspoon once a week.

As opposed to a modifier clarifying that some people even have to start off once

a week, etc.

Anyway, I just wanted to clarify for newbies that that was atypical.

emails that the majority of people start from day one eating 3 cups of yogurt

[grin]. Usually we start off with smaller amounts, ranging from a teaspoon to

1/2 a cup. That is what I was referring to.

everything, and ended up developing a casein sensitivity after 8 months of

eating 1/4 c. of yogurt nearly every day. So my experience matches with some

people on SCD, perhaps not the majority, though.
