Yogurt Question/ Rotation question

[Guest guest]

I saw by the recipe on pecanbread.com that nut yogurt doesn't have to be

incubated for the 24 hr period since it has no lactose.

Has anyone tried making yogurt with coconut milk and has it turned out well?

I know canned coconut milk is not OK- I was thinking of cracking coconuts and

using the milk from those to make yogurt.

Would this also only need about 8-10 hours in the yogurt maker?

Could you also make yogurt out of " zucchini milk " or other liquid?

Unrelated to yogurt question:

If your kid has a lot of food allergies and usually follows a loose rotation

diet, do you still rotate on SCD?

My 4 yr old son is now on an antibiotic for strep throat so I anticipate he will

really be high on yeast when I start full SCD and want to be prepared for the

die off reaction(s). I know yogurt wouldn't be intro'd to him yet, but I want

to have my menus and recipes all ready and my freezer stocked with muffins, etc

he can have and likes so there's no excuses not to give the SCD a fair try!

Thank you,

Janet,

I believe 8 hours is sufficient for nut yogurts to incubate, although

I find that about ten hours usually yieldes ideal consistency. In

the case of coconut yogurt, I don't know whethr more time is needed

or not. WE have always done 8-12 hours.

We make a delciious coconut yogurt from the soft gelatinous insides

of young green coconuts (ygs) (available at WHole Foods or Asian

grocery stores). I am not sure if this is SCD legal (I got hte idea

from a BOdy Ecology Diet group), so I hope someone else can comment

here. My understanding is that the soft young coconut is easier to

digest than the harder coconut. I don't know if coconut milk would

be solid enough to make yogurt.

Here is how I do it:

YOu'll need about 4 ygcs to make aabtch of yogurt.

SLice the bottom of the ygcs, find the soft spot, and puncture it

with a knife. Pour out the coconut juice (I use this to make kefir).

Saw open the coconuts and scoop out the insides.

Puree ygc meat in blender; add 1 Tbl honey.

Add yogurt starter (we use Custom Probiotics non-dairy yogurt

starter, which I believe is SCD legal).

Mix thoroughly.

Put in yogut maker.

THe result is delicious, like a soft coconut pudding. NO need to

filter through a sieve.

As for rotations, we do four day rotations of most foods. I do find

it helps with allergies.
