Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Please send me your ideas as well. I've tried making yogurt with rice milk, it tasted ok, but didn't set. I figured using gelatin. What have you come up with? Thanks. Lolita >Holly, >I've tried a few times and am still very interested in getting it to >work.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'm with you, I love all kinds of yogurt. At the moment I am really into Lucerne brand (which is like a safeway brand I think). They make a fat free version with 110 calories, 8 g protein, and 35% of your (recommended) daily calcium intake. It's yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have never added gelatin to yogurt, so am not sure when you're supposed to add it. However, there is another way to thicken yogurt.... and that's to drip it. You line a colander with a tea towell or plain muslin cloth (possibly two layers.... depends on how thick the fabric is).... put that over a larger bowl, pour in the yogurt (after it's finished fermenting AND after it's chilled in the fridge for a number of hours), then put the whole arrangement back in the fridge and let the liquid drip for a few hours, at least. The longer you drip it, the thicker it becomes. You can even end up with almost a cream cheese consistency. Add flavorings like vanilla, and/or sweeteners (honey, fruit sauces, saccharin) to yogurt AFTER it's done fermenting, chilling.... and (if you're going to do it) dripping. Patti Yogurt I have just made my second batch of yogurt . The first one came out thicker but by mistake we put in 2 packets of yogourmet starter to 1 quart of whole milk. This batch was made correctly (I think) but is very runny. My son likes much thicker creamier yogurt like Yoplait Custard style. I know I can't get it like that but how about thick like that . How would I do that ? I have read to add gelatin but when do you add it ? Any help will be appreciated.We have just purchased the Yogourmet Maker also how about adding vanilla to flavor it.

Yopu could add any legal sweetener (saccharine, honey, cooked fruit etc...) or flavour at this time also. Another thing that will thicken it up is too drip your yogurt. Instructions for dripping yogurt can be found at http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm Go To " SCD yogurt " and then " How to drip yogurt - a pictorial guide " A combination of dripping the yogurt and some gelatin may also work.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Toni, It's hard to know why he had that response to the goat yogurt. I suspect it had more to do with the starter, perhaps. What bacterial strains are in your starter yogurt? We are only supposed to use l.acidophilus, s.thermophilus, and l.bulgaricus..... those are the three that are necessary to ferment the yogurt. The only other strain that can be in there, if any, would be l.casei. No bifidus strains are allowed at all. It's not easy to find commercial yogurt to use as a starter.... that is legal.... even here in the U.S. Another thing that *can* happen is that SCD yogurt can trigger additional die-off..... so what you saw *might* have been die-off, and not a dairy " reaction " . As you say, according to his test results, he should not have reacted to the dairy... especially not to goat dairy. Patti yogurt Hi, I'm new to group and my son been on SCD for 3 months now (following advice in GAPS). I've not seen too much improvement so I've decided to follow the advice om pecanbread and take out whole nuts and basically start again. Before SCD my son was only gluten free for a month so I'm assuming he still has this in his body, I had the peptide test done and Shattock advised removing gluten but said J didn't have casomorphin 7 in his urine. I started giving the proper yogurt last week using cows milk and this was tolerated well, I then found goats milk and decided to use that instead for making yougurt and a couple of days later J reacted to it with dark eyes, slurring of words and hyperactivity. Is this normal? I expected him to do better on goats. I used cows yogurt to start the cow yogurt and sheep/goat yogurt to start the goats as I couldn't find a pure goat yogurt. I'm in the UK and I can't find a goat starter which I'd have preferred to have used. Is this reaction likely due to the sheep? I'd very much appreciate advice as we are quite behind you in the UK and I'm finding it difficult to get the items I need. Thanks so much Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Patti Thanks for the reply The yogurt is Fage Total and contains just s thermophilus and l bulgaricus. I've tried everywhere to get a suggested starter but to no avail. Also J has been on Bio kult for 2 months and I was very wary about the maltodextrin so I phoned DR Natashas husband who told me it was quite safe to use with SCD. > > I'm very confused and downhearted, I feel like I've wasted 3 months as I've been following the advice in GAPS and didn't realise that most of the food I've been feeding is too advanced for a beginner. I've just dropped my son at school and left a spaced out, confused, tearful little boy. Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 The yogurt would be okay to use as a starter, but if it has no acidophilus, you will need to add that as a supplement. Bio-Kult is illegal on SCD. Period. It is something Dr. C-McB recommends, but nevertheless, it is ILLEGAL. It contains all kinds of bifidus and other strains that are not allowed on SCD as written by Elaine Gottschall..... even if it didn't have maltodextrin, which is obviously also quite illegal. You are about the third parent in the past two months that has come here to our list after having started SCD according to the GAPS book..... and not getting off to a very good start. I am sure she has many good ideas, although I have not yet read the book, but I sure do wish she would suggest starting on easy-to-digest foods and working up gradually, let alone the probiotic issues.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 You need to use the amount of starter the instructions call for. Goat yogurt is much thinner than cow yogurt. Some people drip it to get a thicker end result. That helps remove some of the tart taste, as well. Patti Yogurt I am trying to make the SCD yogurt using goat milk, but I am having difficulties with consistency and taste. If I use the amount of yogurt starter as the recipe calls for it I can't get the consistency of yogurt and if I add more yogurt stater in the recipe the consistency is a little better but the taste is horrable. My little girl has autism and she's been in the SCD diet for about 7 months and now I am trying to expand her diet. I appreciate any help.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 SCD yogurt made with goat milk will not have the consistency that you expet with store bought yogurt. Goat yogurt is very runny. What you can do to thicken it a bit is to drip it. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl, and line the strainer with a dish towel(thinner is better). Pour in your cooled yogurt, and return to the frig. Let it drain for several hours. Meleah Yogurt I am trying to make the SCD yogurt using goat milk, but I am having difficulties with consistency and taste.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 The taste takes a little getting used to, but believe me, not too long. Try a little SCD legal vanilla and honey, or fresh fruit and honey blended through. She'll love it. robin wrote: SCD yogurt made with goat milk will not have the consistency that you expet with store bought yogurt. Goat yogurt is very runny.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 We can only eat yogurt on SCD that we make ourselves. All this discussion of strains is for the starter we use, or the yogurt we use for starter. We have to make our own 24-hour yogurt to get all the lactose out. I live in AZ and get a fantastic yogurt sans L. biffidus called 3 Greek Gods. It's mfd in Oregon. Partly why it's so delicious is that it's got a lot of butter fat. It's the best tasting yogurt I've ever had. Bob in Tucson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly why it's so delicious is that it's got a lot of butter fat. It's the best tasting yogurt I've ever had. No commercial yogurt is SCD legal. Commercial yogurts are typically fermented 4-6 hours. SCD yogurt must be fermented 24-28 hours to remove the lactose. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Sans bifidus " means " without bifidus. " But the yogurt mentioned could only be used as a starter, not to actually consume. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
