raw milk yogurt

[Guest guest]

Is making raw milk yogurt legal, following all of the SCD yogurt protocals, but

only heating the milk to 110? I am planning to have my CD son start this diet

soon and we have always used raw milk and raw milk products.

Thank you,

Making it from raw milk is legal- but it is usually advised to heat the milk to

180 (therefore killing any harmful bacteria). However, I'm not knowledgeable

enough to know what 110 would do... I would imagine there is a reason why we

heat to 180. What qualities are you trying to preserve in the milk by not

heating it up all the way?

I hope Marilyn can come up with a more scientific answer than me- she usually

does!

In general, because of the length of fermentation on SCD yogurt, it is

better to go ahead an pasteurize the milk for yogurt in the early stages

of the diet. We want to be sure we're not inadvertently fermenting

additional bacteria in there.

If you choose to do raw yogurt per SCD parameters except only heating to

110F, and you do not see the improvement you hope for from SCD, consider

doing things EXACTLY the way Elaine's instructions say.

Later, after healing has taken place, you can potentially return to doing

SCD yogurt as raw milk yogurt. I would certainly continue using all the

other raw milk products you are using, if they are not otherwise SCD

legal. If I had a reasonable source for them, I would love to use them,

myself.
