Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I used to have the same problems. I spent lots, lots of money on probiotics, and when we did a stool test we hardly found these good bacteria back. Since a year we all eat home made yoghurt. I use the Custom Probiotics to make the yoghurt, and before bedtime we all take 1 capsule (also from Custom Probiotcs)now and then. And finally last test we did, we found a good amount of these bacteria back in the gut. We live in the Netherlands, that means that the probiotics survive the trip to our house - that's about half a week outside the fridge - not a bad result I think...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I make kefir as it can be made at room temperature. You can buy kefir " grains " on the Internet. Making yogurt (with different strains of bacteria) needs warmer temp. Lactobacilus acidophilus needs higher temp, and that's the bacteria that's supposed to help the most with yeast. But you could try it to see what happens. I'll still be beneficial regardless. You'll want to eat/drink it 3 times a day (increase gradually), and it's hard to get kids to do that (I know mine won't). That's probably why a lot of people prefer to make them take pills. Water kefir tastes great, so that might be a better option too. On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 6:54 AM, nicoline_cammenga < nicoline.cammenga@...> wrote: > I used to have the same problems.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 We started off using organic plain whole milk yogurt as our probiotic and it is great...but we're not casein-free which so many kids are. We also found we needed more " bang " with many more CFU's than yogurt could provide so we use both. Yogurt is our carrier for additional probiotic capsules (we've used Jarrow, Klaire, and Custom Probiotics at different times). For several years my son had plain yogurt spiked with added probiotics as his dessert after dinner. Many casein-free families use other fermented products like coconut water either alone or with additional probiotics to get the same effect. > > Hi folks, > > We spend loads of cash on probiotics products but almost all of these good bacteria don't make it to the G.I of the end user because they are destroyed during storage, shipping and shelving. > So, what is wrong with using any of the regular, cheap, fresh and easily available yogurt probiotic products along with the necessary enzyme. > > Does this make sense or am I in Cocoon land ? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 We are GFCF so most yogurt would not be OK. I guess there are soy yogurts and others.

Hi folks, We spend loads of cash on probiotics products but almost all of these good bacteria don't make it to the G.I of the end user because they are destroyed during storage, shipping and shelving. So, what is wrong with using any of the regular, cheap, fresh and easily available yogurt probiotic products along with the necessary enzyme. Does this make sense or am I in Cocoon land ?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Homemade yoghurt might be ok. I make it from goatmilk, and leave it at least 24 hours to ferment. After a whole day the lactose is converted (is that the right word??) into lactase. (Most people who can't digest milk, have problems with lactose) My son has problems with milk, but not with our homemade yoghurt. Nicoline > > We are GFCF so most yogurt would not be OK.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Doesn't goatmilk still have casein?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Perfect sense.? We've been making sunflower seed yoghurt and rejuvelac (from fermented cabbage and water) and sauerkraut (no salt, sometimes kelp or dulse, good for thyroid and high in minerals). The yoghurt is made from very slightly sprouted sunflower seeds and can also be made from almonds, macadamias (luscious), pistachios (gorgeous green) and hemp seed will be our next try.? Really yummy and easy to digest and no bvg/casein and no g-m soy, and the sunflower one is very cheap.? Even though organic sunflower seeds went up 25% (if my math is right) to $2.49 a lb, soaked to sprout and with the water added that makes a lot of yoghurt or cheese or milk/kefir. And it's so easy to make. Francine Speak with Him Thou for He hearest. Spirit with Spirit can speak. Closer is Love than breathing, Nearer than hands and feet.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Awesome, the sunflower seed yogurt and rejuvelac makes perfect sense I am very intrigued, I have no clue about making yogurt, I live in Ireland and I will like to know the basic ingredients so that I can source them locally. Can you help me out with the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yup it sure does!!! Any milk from any animal has casein...it is just the lactase that changes. We are doing kefir and yogurt from a combo of Vance's dairy free and Sno-E tofu milk powders. It works well....it also works on just the dairy free milk. We use the Vitacost 15-35 in conjunction with CP1 and culturelle...as the budget allows. But they get a lot of kefir and yogurt. Doesn't do the yeast in....but helps the gut. hth Ronni > Doesn't goatmilk still have casein? > TJ > > > > > ________________________________ > From: nicoline_cammenga <nicoline.cammenga@...> > > Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 1:34:13 PM > Subject: [ ] Re: Why not Probiotic Yogurt & Enzyme ? > > > Homemade yoghurt might be ok.
