I do also. My coop has soy yogurt but I can't see me eating more than one of

those big containers and you have to order 8 or 12. I don't remember which.

That was me, and yes you're right. I was confused from my early Eat Right 4

Your Type days, then haven't thought about it since discovering that I'm a

nonsecretor.

Yogurt is an avoid for all Os, and from Eat Right 4 Your Baby, Farmer's

cheese, feta cheese, goat cheese and mozarella are neutral, for secretors.

So, drop the yoghurt. I do remember trying soy yogurt, I think that's fine

for O secretors, but 's brand was the only kind I could stand.

I loved goat cheese on rye crackers, back in the day. A little garlic or

sliced beef makes it even better. Ahh nostalgia....

Thanks for the correction, and sorry for the mistake.

Someone recently wrote that yogurt was neutral for O secretors.

That's not my understanding, based on ERFYT and Typebase on

D'Adamo's site. The above was said in reference to pregnancy....is

yogurt OK specifically for pregnant O secretors?

Please clarify someone!

I had water buffalo yogurt in Egypt, yum!

You just have to try it and see how it makes you feel. I love yogurt,

but feel better if I don't have it.

I agree with Alice, homemade yogurt is fantastic stuff. Helps constipation issues too. I can't remember if the article addressed that... thanks again Kathy! Very informative read.

I just started a batch of yogurt today and after you do it a few times, it's a breeze. The most difficult thing about yogurt at my house is keeping foriegn objects out of it during the cool down phase... no matter where I set it, seems things that are flung through the air end up IN the milk. So I try to make it when no kids are around. ;-)

I have a Yogurmet and it works like a charm. For SCD we ferment our yogurt for 24 hours to get the max number of good bugs. And we drip it which makes it very thick and creamy and extra yummy. I just read that dripping is called Greek style yogurt.

Dear ,

I always preface my replies by encouraging people to TEST THINGS OUT

FOR THEMSELVES. Everyone is different, so I believe it is best to

experiment and discover what foods are the right nourishment for your

particular body.

With that said, I personally cannot handle yogurt at all - my body

doesn't do well with it. If it is the probiotics you are seeking, I

encourage you to drink kombucha. it is a little bit of an acquired

taste at first, but after a while your body will crave the amazing

vitamins, minerals, and probiotics it contains.

Best of luck and best of health :)

Sincerely, - katie

thanks Irene and ! ,, is kambucha a drink ?... can one get it

at whole foods or hf store ? Agree, I usually go with body responses to

things and have come to the conclusion that wheat bloats me, dairy gives me an

immediate runny nose and corn tires me... yogurt I haven't been too sure

about! Love,

Dear ,

yes, you are right to trust your body's immediate reactions to foods

(that is always my way to know of a food allergy, or that something

isn't sitting well with me.)

Kombucha is a wonderful drink. i am not sure where you live, but i can

get Kombucha at any Henry's or Whole Foods in Southern or Northern

California. i've also bought it in Oregon.

my favorite brand is G.T. Dave's.

http://www.gtskombucha.com/

they have a wonderful variety of flavors.

my favorites are grape and cranberry.

i hope you enjoy it!

there is a brand of yogurt that assures it's 100% lactose free. it's full fat

also. is this acceptable to use? it is organic and grass-fed. i would

absolutely love to add this to our diet if it's alright.

Since yogurt was mentioned, I can't resist jumping in here. If you have

never " hung " your yogurt then you are truly missing something.

Pour plain yogurt into a fine mesh strainer and set it in a pan in the

fridge overnight or wrap it in clean cheesecloth (tie it shut) and hang it

from your kitchen faucet. The liquid whey that drains off the yogurt is good

added to almost anything liquid (soup, stew, gravy, smoothies, cereal, etc).

The longer it hangs, the thicker it gets. Different thicknesses are good for

different uses.

You won't believe how sweet the hung yogurt is. It is great all by itself or

you can put it on baked potatoes or use it as a dip base for onion dip. Add

garlic and chives to it to make your own Boursin cheesespread, use it in

place of sour cream or cream cheese. Google the words " yogurt cheese " . The

list is endless.

Pamela

Thanks for mentioning this Pam. I like to use the left over whey to put in

homemade ketchup or mayonnaise. Let the condiment sit out for a couple of days

and refrigerate. You now have a healthy, probiotic rich condiment! Adding a bit

of honey or sugar will help the probiotics to grow even more.

I've also used the strained yogurt to replace cream cheese in recipes, usually

cheesecakes. It's so good.

I used to make my mayonnaise but have ceased to do so because my kid ended up

with salmonella. Do you have a way of making it without that danger? I miss

having it fresh.

Also – could you share your ketchup recipe. I have never even thought of

making homemade ketchup. That sounds fabulous! J

Pam,

Sometimes I like to make a spread that tastes just like mayonnaise (at least to

me), yet it is much more nutritious, is completely RAW and contains no animal

protein.

RAW Cashew " Mayonnaise "

1 cup raw cashews

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup olive oil

Soak cashews over night in water. Drain water in the morning. Add soaked

cashews, salt, water and oil in blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds,

or until mixture is smooth. You may want to add less or more water depending on

desired texture. This spread usually thickens after cooling in the refrigerator.

As I said in the previous post, I make this and old fashioned mayonnaise with

real, raw and organic eggs. I will have to put my thinking cap on today,

research a bit, and come back to you with a more traditional approach to

mayonnaise, using oil as the main ingredient, making it completely egg free. As

another poster suggested, you might want to try pasteurized eggs, however I

don't recommend those as I find them to be in their unnatural state. That's just

me.

You know Pam, I think I will have to devote an entire week on my blog to healthy

condiments, making them egg free and safe for children and other individuals.

Thanks for the idea! I will reply to this message once I post my ketchup and

mayonnaise recipes.

Find someone local who raises chickens and sells eggs. Chickens need to be

outside eating bugs and ingesting healthy bacteria. This will kill the

salmonella in their gut and won't be transfered to the egg. I even use the

shells of my eggs for an excellent source of calcium. All store bought eggs are

at risk. Are there Amish markets in your area?

Myra,

Are you asking me, or Pam? I get my eggs from a local farmer who lets them eat

grass, bugs, etc. All the food they are designed to eat. I don't know if there

is an Amish market in my area or not.

grass, bugs, etc. All the food they are designed to eat. I don't know if there

is an Amish market in my area or not.

Find someone local who raises chickens and sells eggs. Chickens need to be

outside eating bugs and ingesting healthy bacteria. This will kill the

salmonella in their gut and won't be transfered to the egg. I even use the

shells of my eggs for an excellent source of calcium. All store bought eggs are

at risk. Are there Amish markets in your area?

I used to make my mayonnaise but have ceased to do so because my kid ended up

with salmonella. Do you have a way of making it without that danger? I miss

having it fresh.

Also – could you share your ketchup recipe. I have never even thought of

making

homemade ketchup. That sounds fabulous! J

Thanks for mentioning this Pam. I like to use the left over whey to put in

homemade ketchup or mayonnaise. Let the condiment sit out for a couple of days

and refrigerate. You now have a healthy, probiotic rich condiment! Adding a bit

of honey or sugar will help the probiotics to grow even more.

I've also used the strained yogurt to replace cream cheese in recipes, usually

cheesecakes. It's so good.

Since yogurt was mentioned, I can't resist jumping in here. If you have

never " hung " your yogurt then you are truly missing something.

Pour plain yogurt into a fine mesh strainer and set it in a pan in the

fridge overnight or wrap it in clean cheesecloth (tie it shut) and hang it

from your kitchen faucet. The liquid whey that drains off the yogurt is good

added to almost anything liquid (soup, stew, gravy, smoothies, cereal, etc).

The longer it hangs, the thicker it gets. Different thicknesses are good for

different uses.

You won't believe how sweet the hung yogurt is. It is great all by itself or

you can put it on baked potatoes or use it as a dip base for onion dip. Add

garlic and chives to it to make your own Boursin cheesespread, use it in

place of sour cream or cream cheese. Google the words " yogurt cheese " . The

list is endless.

Regards,

Pamela

Re: Re: Best source for coconut oil

Jo, Love the coconut products at Whole Foods. I also buy coconut ice cream

and yogurt. I buy the plain yogurt and add berries. Wonderful!

have you tried this recipe with any nut other then cashews? i just cant eat

them, they look like toe nails! or have you substituted for coconut oil?

thanks!

Re: RE: yogurt

Pam,

Sometimes I like to make a spread that tastes just like mayonnaise (at least to

me), yet it is much more nutritious, is completely RAW and contains no animal

protein.

RAW Cashew " Mayonnaise "

1 cup raw cashews

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup olive oil

Soak cashews over night in water. Drain water in the morning. Add soaked

cashews, salt, water and oil in blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds,

or until mixture is smooth. You may want to add less or more water depending on

desired texture. This spread usually thickens after cooling in the refrigerator.

As I said in the previous post, I make this and old fashioned mayonnaise with

real, raw and organic eggs. I will have to put my thinking cap on today,

research a bit, and come back to you with a more traditional approach to

mayonnaise, using oil as the main ingredient, making it completely egg free. As

another poster suggested, you might want to try pasteurized eggs, however I

don't recommend those as I fin
