Fromer GFCF people...when to start goat yogurt?

November 17, 2004

Hi -

We still get mushy poops (but fully digested) 50% of the time and

sometimes semi-solid 25%, other times nice shaped mounds (diaper)

25%. His diet does not vary that much... so not the food.

We are using both Kirkman's EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV enzymes and

Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Tons of supplements as well... which I

won't bother listing, all SCD legal.

Nigel is still on stage 1 of the diet, though we've introduced

onions and swiss chard from stage 2.

My friend Ania (mother of who posted here a great deal about

a year ago) is doing a good job of trying to convincing me to try

the goat yogurt... Though then again, they were never GFCF (and

never saw the amazing post-3-day reaction to the removal of

casein). She says that goat casein and cow casein are different

structurally. But, I'm still scared.

What stage should your child be on to start the yogurt? What should

be the percentage of good vs. mush stools be?

I know how scary it is to try the goat yogurt because my 2 1/2 year

old son had a dramatic change when we took him off the casein. We

started the goat yogurt about a month ago and I just started feeding

him goat milk cheddar cheese this week. We have not seen any bad

reaction from it. The goat casein is different structurally from

the cow. I would just go slow, and be aware that you might have

some yeast die off that could initially look like a bad reaction.

You start out using a very small amount per day - 1/4 tsp. at first,

then working your way up. It is so good for healing the gut that

you might want to give it a try. I don't think you would need to

wait until his stools are good - this could really make a difference

in that.
