Check out http://www.pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html Especially for

those just starting the diet coming from gfcf we usually suggest

waiting a couple of weeks. But, if things are going great write in

and we'll help you get started. You don't need to buy a yogurt

maker to make the yogurt. You can make it in your oven - directions

are in the book, " Breaking the vicious Cycle " (BTVC) or with a

heating pad

ng_pad_yoghurt.htm ;Also you can pick up yogurt makers very cheaply

at yard sales, thrift stores, I bought one for $15 thru the internet

and my MIL bought one for $3. My husband also built one with a

light bulb socket, 60 watt bulb and a wooden box (total cost $5-6).

> I guess what really worries me is that he's such a picky eater

anyway. If the first bite of his food isn't yummy, he just wants to

pitch it across the room. Then it's very hard to get him to try new

things. I'm really looking forward to all of your input. I'm sorry

this turned into a book.

Since many of the parents here are familiar with oicky eaters we

have a section on the topic at

http://pecanbread.com/difficulties.html#picky

Depending on the type of food your son likes ( crunchy, soft, cold

etc.) the parents here might have some suggestions for you.

Re: making yoghurt...

I'm too cheap to buy a machine and so use canning jars in an oven.

I guess what really worries me is that he's such a picky eater

anyway. If the first bite of his food isn't yummy, he just wants to

pitch it across the room. Then it's very hard to get him to try new

things.

A lot of us have picky eaters. My son lives on chicken pancakes

drizzled with diluted honey, hamburger, eggs, cashew(peanut butter)

muffins, bananas, and frozen veggies (pureed and frozen like a

popcicle). We have only been doing the diet for 25 days now, but he

has surprized me a few times. I made the pumpkin pie, cooked like

custard with no crust. He wouldn't touch it. I put some honey on

it, and he ate the whole thing! It's just a matter of

experiementing. Good luck!
