Re: Yogurt vs. Dairy Question AND Dehydrator Uses in Stg. 1???

[Guest guest]

The reaction to cheese could be attributed to the fact that its a

mold. I have candida issues and can't eat cheese at all but tolerate

huge amounts of yogurt just fine. Interestingly, often the first sign

that a food has triggered a worsening of my candida is a runny nose.

weren't involved in the other posts), but realized that neither me or my son are

able to handle dairy right now. We tried a bit of really aged sharp cheddar

cheese last night and today my stomach has been very unhappy, while he is

sneezing and snotting constantly. Granted, I was confused about the " stages " and

realized after the fact that cheese shouldn't be introduced until much later.

But because of our reactions, I'm thinking doing the yogurt wouldn't be the best

thing, since it is still dairy. I'm guessing we'll just purchase some probiotics

until we can handle the yogurt.

Hey Carissa!

Congrats on getting through the intro!!!

You could definitely try baked kale in the dehydrator! I make it in the oven and

it is awesome. For some reason I remember dried fruit being more advanced, but I

wonder about a banana? There is no skin to contend with and it would get pretty

airy... thoughts from anyone else?

You could also try cheese chips (which I make in the oven as well, but would

imagine they would be amazing in a dehydator).

Also, as you progress a little, you can make crackers from the nut flours.

As for your yogurt questions- you should definitely jump on pecanbread's group

and ask them- they have so much experience with non-dairy and introducing yogurt

to the little guys.

Good luck

Hi Carissa,

When I first started the diet 3 months ago, I could not handle cheddar cheese in

the first couple weeks, but I did see it listed as " okay " early on, on the

pecanbread.com website, before they updated everything. It used to be listed on

the optional non-autism stages diet plan as being okay either stage 1 or stage

2. That's why I tried it early. Anyhow, I couldn't handle it that early. BUT, I

could totally handle the yogurt no problem after 10 days on the diet. From my

point of view, I'd say try the yogurt. If you aren't ready to spend $ mail

ordering a shipment of yogurt starter just yet, you can use Dannon 100% All

Natural, regular fat yogurt (NOT low-fat) as your starter.

Also, I have seen a lot of folks recommend just having a teaspoon of yogurt to

start. I jumped right in at about 1 cup per day and have been fine with that.

It's really good when it's dripped, like put a cup of yogurt in a coffee filter

and drip it for a couple hours, so it's a thick, heavy & creamy. I have read

that this made it more tolerable for others on SCD also.

Overall, I find this diet to be a lot of ups and downs, and nothing is quite

100%. I do keep feeling better overall, but I do keep suffering set-backs. I

just keep trucking forward. As they say you didn't get sick overnight, so you

can't get better overnight. So I just overlook the minor set backs, and focus on

the overall improvements.

Good luck!

Same here with the cheddar- I'm not sure why? Even white cheddar without annato

did not agree with me early on. However, Provolone was and is my standby cheese.

It does take some experimenting to find out what your body will tolerate
