Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I think my son had a reaction to the acidophilus capsules from Kirkman labs when I gave them to him in juice (we had worked up to 1/6 capsule/day but he complained of stomach " owies " ). Does this mean that I shouldn't use these in the nut yogurt recipe on pecanbread.com (called Cashew Yogurt by Erja)? This recipe calls for using acidophilus powder capsules. If he reacted to the capsules in juice, wouldn't he most likely react to them in yogurt? Should I follow the Almond Yogurt recipe by Marjan - I noticed it calls for a yogurt starter by Custom Probiotics? What is best? Please advise. My son has been off the acidophilus capsules for 1 1/2 weeks and I think I'm seeing regressive, die-off behavior due to this. It's no fun - sometimes I wonder if this diet is going to work for my son. I admit I'm a bit discouraged but I'm committed to keeping him on the diet for 6 months or so.

It is better to use a proper yogurt starter that has the three strains that Elaine recommends for making yogurt. There are a few options for yogurt starter at http://www.giprohealth.com/products.html or http://www.pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html#start Some people don't tolerate the acidophilus capsules/powders (like me) but are okay with yogurt. (I recently tried some again when i couldn't get yogurt and they gave me stomach pain also.)
