Re: BUTTER BOO BOO!!!! (was BUTTER)

Oh my, oh my, oh my!! I had no idea that the butter my son has been easily consuming has had milk in it!! He has been eating it freely and quite liberally for the past 3 1/2 months. I missed this entirely from the get go because I read that butter is legal. Could this possibly be why he hasn't improved as much as we had hoped and expected??Can someone please explain the cultured idea? Are there certain cheddar cheeses that are not legal as well? I am feeling extremely overwhelmed and very badly about this.Eileen Mother of 19 yo sonUC BUTTER

Hi, I've only been following the SCD diet for a couple of months now and I was hoping someone could tell me a specific brand of butter that was legal. I was using a bit of country crock to butter a pan but stopped because I read it contained milk. I was fine not using butter but I stumbled upon some recipes I wanted to try that called for a whole cup full. I bought this brand called earth balance soy free because it said gluten and dairy free but when I got it home I read it was derived from corn... and corn is illegal... help!

You don't have to eat cultured butter - just regular supermarket butter is okay - as long asit doesn't have anything added or natural flavors (that ingredient is added more often thanyou think, so be careful about that). Cultured butter is a great idea, but expensive and not necessary.OTOH, perhaps your son is reacting to butter and would do better with culturedbutter or ghee. It's something you could check. It's easy to make ghee, and if you doa pound at a time, it lasts a long time. Essentially you cook it for an hour at 250 - it separates into three layers - and then very carefully strain out the impurities in thetop and bottom layer - you want the middle stuff. But you weren't doing anything wrong. So don't feel bad. You are needlessly stressing yourself. It takes a while to sort all of this out. MaraOh my, oh my, oh my!!

The ingrediant lable on the butter I have been using does read "natural flavorings". However, I have some Land of Lakes that only lists "Sweet Cream and Salt" but then adds "Contains milk". Is Land of Lakes OK? Why the separate item listed that way regarding milk? We have not been using the Land of Lakes...just was given to me last week. I will switch pronto though if it is legal!

Thanks for calming the stress

I don't think you did anything bad! I thought all butter (dont'

know about cultured) had a little bit of milk in it, hence the

recommendation to try ghee if you seem to have trouble with it. Ghee is

just butter that has the milk solids removed so it's much purer. If

there's no casein problem butter may be fine.

I believe the Land O lakes salted butter with only cream and salt is fine.

Anything with " flavors " is not.

I'm thinking it says " contains milk " under the assumption that some people with

a dairy

allergy might not know that cream is a milk product? And from a corporate

perspective,

better safe than sorry, so that they cannot get sued? Anyone know for sure?

Watch out for the Land o'Lakes without salt, however. I believe that one has

flavors in

it.

Butter

is about 95% to 99% fat, even though it is made from milk/cream. No

lactose in it as far as I recall from my research into fats, just water and some

other biochemicals. So you haven’t done anything wrong.

Butter is a good source of fats for our diet, which is why so many of our SCD

recipes call for butter.

We

just have to pick a brand of butter that doesn’t have illegal ingredients

added. I also avoid any butter that has natural flavorings or

color. I look for an ingredient list that says cream/milk, and salt, sometimes,

although I prefer unsalted butter.

Cultured

butter isn’t as easy to find, and tends to be more expensive. Ghee

is also another option.

I

can’t eat any other dairy products such as yogurt or cheese, because of a

sensitivity to casein, but my body tolerates butter as long as I keep the

amount tiny but that is because of my upper GI malfunctions. Some do OK

with butter, some prefer to use ghee, some prefer to use other oils. All

depends on how our body is handling fats.

Thanks for the responses to my question on butter. I bought Land O Lakes, it

said just sweet cream and salt. I feel better now. I was worried it was like

yoghurt and had to be fermented for 24 hours but wasn't, as store bought yoghurt

isn't.

Butter is milk fat. It is legal. They have to say " contains

milk " because it is derived from milk.

Land O' Lakes is fine. That's what you're looking for " Sweet Cream

and Salt. No natural flavorings.
