Re: Re:Re: Dripping Yoghurt (Marilyn)

Hi Kim,What are your symptoms with casein sensitivity?I am having lower stomach pain (really far down close to my legs), but it seems more muscular strangely enough, so I don't know if it is from exercising or from dairy.Just curious.I’m not Marilyn, but when I make yogurt I usually drip it. I let the yogurt drip in a bowl out on my kitchen counter for 6 to 9 hours (in a shady, cool corner), and have no problems. I always chill the yogurt before dripping it, so it starts off cold. I let it drip until the yogurt is the right texture and looks like cream cheese. Remember that people have been making yogurt for centuries, long before electricity became widely available. The only issue I found was that pink mold began to appear on the dripped yogurt after 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but that didn’t happen too often as I finished it before the 2 weeks was over! Unfortunately I developed a casein sensitivity after eating small amounts of dripped yogurt regularly for 8 months. Typical for me [sigh]. Now I just make it occasionally for use in dishes I’m giving other people.

Does this mean that Yoghurt can be kept out of the fridge for extended periods of time? If so, how long before it 'goes off'?TIAAnne-MarieIBS 2007SCD 13 weeks
