Re: 1 week on yogurt, dosage question

[Guest guest]

,

I am thrilled to hear of the miracle of the SCD yogurt. It is such an

important food for our children.

You can increase the amount. Be cautious, use your intuition and keep

a food journal.

Once yogurt is tolerated,give 1-2 cups a day.for little kids. For

adults and teens give 1-3 cups a day.

I am glad that your child can tolerate cow yogurt. Many of our ASD

children cannot.

Below is a copy from our old pecanbread website for parents who have

not yet tried the yogurt:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Goat yogurt or sheep yogurt are recommended for children who were

dairy free before starting SCD.For these children we endorse goat/SCD

as the official diet of this list.

Some ASD children are able to tolerate cow yogurt.If you do try cow

yogurt, introduce it very slowly.If you do try cow yogurt and you get

bad results it is not our responsibility.If you post about bad results

with cow yogurt,please make it clear that you were using cow yogurt

and that it is not the official diet of this list.

What is cow's half and half? How do you make that? My son has just

begun goat yogurt, and poops are still formed but floating and foul,

but he hasn't had any diarrhea though, which is good, but I am

noticing, like tonight, that his nose is stuffing up. Is this

normal? He is allergic to cow's milk, and before that made his

sinuses very bad, snoring, infections, even had adenoids and tonsils

taken out before we knew the cause. Could the goat yogurt do this as

well? He had a half teaspoon this morning.

Tina, half & half is half cream and half whole milk, lots of people

use it in place of creamer in their coffee, etc. It is right with

the other milk at the grocery store. I read a post that said you

could use this to get a less sour yogurt. I had great results. I'm

sorry I don't know the answers to your other questions about the

goat yogurt. We have just begun and I just decided to at least try

the cow's milk products first as it would be so much easier. So far

we are having good luck.

My son seems to tolerating the goat yogurt fine but he does not like

it and I do not think I will ever get him to a cup a day. He gets

about 2 tablespoons a day now in nut milk and that is about as far

as I can push him. Do I need to get him eat more of it to get bigger

benefits? I can not see any direct impact the yogurt has had so far

but I am sure in the long run it will help.

I don't think you need to push for him to have more yogurt. I

would think that 2 TBL a day would be fine.

Another way to get it in might be to mix it in nut butter and to turn it

into a " fruit dip " . My boys really like it.
