Almond yogurt & Die off symptoms

[Guest guest]

I had a couple of questions for you all.

1. Someone in this group had mentioned culturing almond milk with

Bio-Kult. How many capsules did you use per quart?

2. My 3yr old boy has had mild speech difficulties since he's been

starting to talk.(mostly difficulty with pronunciation, and forming

the thoughts into words) On Saturday, we upped the dosage on the

Bio-Kult for the first time (from a total of one capsule a day to 1 &

1/2 capsules)That very same day, he started stuttering. He did it a

TINY bit before all of this, but nothing too noticeable. Now it's VERY

noticeable!

Does anyone in this group have a child with similar speech problems? And

has anyone encountered any similar die-off symptoms? Or, if anyone has

any sort of comments about this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Therese

Therese,

I used 2 capsules per quart. Fill the quart 1/2 way, open up 2

capsules, swirl the container to mix it, then fill the rest of the way.

Someone else asked about whether to culture like kefir or yogurt. I

just had a different thought--Biokult is a large mix of bacteria, some

of which are heat loving, some not. I would bet you could culture it

either way, but the temp will determine which bacteria in the mix grows

more, so the end product would have a different bacterial profile. I

know the counter top method works, as I have done it. I haven't yet

tried to cultue it like yougurt.

That is a good point. I have noticed a difference in taste in kefir

made at warm or cool temperatures, and same thing with raw milk (no

added culture). In both cases I liked the taste milk cultured in

temperatures around the 90-95 F range. It was sweeter & thicker.

Although this was in my pre-GAPS days and I did not culture it for

long, maybe 8 hours is all.
