Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 My son has been on the Casein/Gluten free diet and we want to continue with that being we saw a huge improvement in a short period of time with that diet...we have done the IGG food allergy testing and are only moderately allergic to milk, but are hesitant to get away from the casein free part of the diet. Is there a true dairy free way of this diet? or do you still have to use the milk for the diet in order to make the yoghurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 You aren't required to use dairy. Many kids start SCD dairy free.... then some are indeed able to tolerate SCD yogurt made from goat milk, later on. We usually don't recommend trialing it until a couple of months on SCD, then we suggest a very slow introduction... only 1/4 tsp of yogurt to start with. The casein in SCD yogurt is still present, but the fermentation process really transform those molecules and makes them easier to digest. Many kids have the greatest problems with cow dairy, so that's why we recommend goat dairy. For those families who really want to remain totally dairy free, they can make yogurt from nut milk. All SCDers need to supplement with l.acidophilus, whether using dairy yogurt, nut yogurt, or no yogurt.
