gurggling gut, yogurt, lemon juice

[Guest guest]

What does a gurggling gut signify? Good digestion or poor? My son has been on

the diet for over a month now and whenever he has tried just even a spoon of SCD

yogurt he gets the gurggles and we wonder what it means. He has avoided it for

fear that it will set him back. My concern though is that if the diet is really

putting an end to the bad guys, how do we get the good guys introduced if the

yogurt doesn't work for him. Is it time to try a capsule probiotic?

Another thing I don't understand, if the recommended amount of bacteria on a

daily basis is suppose to be 3 billion, than why does Elaine push the yogurt

with 700 billion!? Am I misunderstanding something?

Regarding fresh squeezed lemon juice...I made fresh lemondade for our July 4th

party and made a honey syrup for my son so that he could enjoy the lemonade. He

said his stools went looser after drinking this. Is fresh lemon juice not a good

thing? He only used about 3 Tablespoons per serving.

BTW...it was delicious!!! I would have gladly had his over the traditional kind

I made with sugar for everyone else but I made it just for him:)
