Just started...how much SCD yogurt/cream cheese?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I've had diarrhea for years now and just found Elaine's book. I

started the diet last Thursday and made a successful version of the

SCD yogurt (which ended up being cream cheese) on Saturday.

How much should one eat a day to benefit from it? I used to put

regular Philly cream cheese on bagels---without any bread products to

speak of I'm eating it plain which is not easy for me. Also, I'm not

a yogurt fan so I could see eating a lot of the cream cheese version

if I could find something to put it on that tastes good.

Your help is appreciated.

Try mixing it with a ripe banana in a food processor.

Or you could cook fruit, freeze it and make a nice smoothie and add some of the

yogurt to it.

The upper limit is 3 cups per day for an adult.

Hi Jody,

Another question for you. I know the recipe calls for raw milk, but I

bought some which is pastuerized. Does this mean that I don't need

to " heat " on the stove? I bought it before I realized that I should

have raw milk.

Thanks for your comments about the banana smoothie!

Robbie,

The milk does not need to be raw, but it can be if you have a reliable source.

Some states do not allow the sale of raw milk (like where I live-Indiana).

Elaine does not recommend the UHT milk, but pasturized is fine.

Robbie,

I forgot to answer part of your question.

You do still need to follow all of the directions for making the yogurt if you

use

pasturized milk, including heating the milk.

Hi Jody,

That's good news because the nearest HFS has pasturized goat's milk.

Thanks,

Robbie

I saw somewhere that folks should start with a tablespoon a day. Is

that right? Or if I have severe diarrhea would it help to increase

the " dosage " ?

It depends on the individual. If a person has severe diarrhea we

suggest going on the intro diet for 4-5 days and add foods after that.
