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

[Guest guest]

Okay, so here's the deal THIS time (I can't wait until I don't need to ask y'all

all of these questions, and I can actually help someone else for once!!!)... I

got my amazing dehydrator (the Excalibur, for those of you who 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.

With that said, I hate to have my wonderful new dehydrator sit on the shelf

until that time comes, so does any one have any ideas of what we could eat using

the dehydrator in Stage 1? For example, would drying bananas, carrots,

zucchini, and other squashes be considered " cooked " ? Because some banana or

carrot chips sound really nice! =)

Also, does anyone have any experience with " no dairy " but the yogurt being

different? (in other words, being able to handle the yogurt, although no other

dairy, like the cheeses)?

We don't have autism or anything like that, although we do have Sensory

Processing Disorder (sensory issues), Bipolar, Adrenal Gland/Cortisol issues,

etc...

Thanks once again everyone! I wouldn't be able to do all this without you

all!!!!

P.S. We got through the Intro this past weekend - woohoo! And are trying to

figure everything now with Stage 1. It sure makes things difficult when dairy

and eggs are out of the equation!!

Many of us do have issues with dairy but it can be blanket troubles, or

just something like cheese. Or you can tolerate ghee but not

butter. Nasal congestion is very common with dairy issues, and also

the aged cheddar is going to be much more likely to have mold issues than

regular. I'd say try the yogurt, cautiously, as that may be just

fine, and cheese later, maybe six months or so. I suspect the reason the

aged cheddar is on the " occasional use " list, unlike regular

cheddar, is that possible extra mold problem.

I didn't try any dairy or eggs for over six months. You will figure out

things that work, promise!
