Dairy Free Scd -- Is It Possible?

Lately i've been wondering if going on the SCD may help allivate some of my weird bowel issues lately-- such as incomplete digestion. I'm already GFCFSF

I just got the book, Breaking the vicious cycle from the library and the "yogurt making" seems to be a big part of SCD.

The problem is that I can't have dairy -- Casein intolerance. So how am i supposed to make the yogurt?

I read on other website that you can make yogurt out of basically anything, i was thinking coconut milk.

Has anyone else done/doing a dairy free SCD -- any suggestions on that or yogurt making would be of great help! Thanks :)

Hi- I have been doing the SCD dairy free for the past 4 months. I feel soooo much better. I don't eat any type of yogurt but I do take a dairy free probiotic.

Good Luck!

I believe to make yogurt you have to start with a little bit of yogurt (to get the cultures). You could use a soy based one. I eat soy yogurt from time to time that is gluten, casein, and dairy-free and buy it at either Kroger or a health food store.

I am also on a dairy free SCD. I started off with the SCD in early April still eating dairy, but the SCD helped me figure out that I am casein intolerant. I also take probiotics, not always the same kind, and drink kombucha now and then.

Coconut milk is recomended only in small amounts after you have been on the diet for a while, so don't go overboard with it.

In my non-scientific opinion, it is better to do the diet without dairy than to not do it at all (and stay on grain and processed food).

The first couple of weeks on the diet are the toughest, but were well worth it for me. Good luck!

I make yogurt with homemade almond milk. A cup of raw almond whirled in my Vita-Mix with water for 10 minutes which gets it the perfect temp to add the starter (GI Pro). I bought a yogurt maker wit 8 serving size cups. It works great!

I've not tried the SCD, but I also haven't pushed it out of thought yet... I try not to do dairy either. I tried some coconut milk yogurt and it was SOOOO good.

Personally, coconut milk soothes my stomach.

I have been gluten and dairy free since the end of Jan and on SCD since May and am gradually recovering. I know I am lactose intolerant, but may also be casein intolerant as I don't cope with most dairy. However, I have been making the SCD milk-based 24 hour yogurt most of the way through, and seem to be able to cope with that ok.

It seems that not only is most, if not all of the lactose digested by the bacteria, but the process changes the casein structure, making it more easily metabolised, too.

Just out of interest I was looking for more info on the yogurt and came across a couple threads on different sites that mentioned products like Activia. Although it undoubtedly tastes nice, it contains sugar which is extremely counter-productive as sugar feeds the very bacteria we are trying to replace with the good. Can't see the point of them, myself. They are very over-priced and very over-hyped.

It's surprising how nice the SCD yogurt is, made with whole milk and the addition of a good handful of blueberries and other tolerated fruit give all the sweetness we need plus extra nutrients. If it is dripped, it is even creamier and I have made it with the addition of some cream too, which I would normally not be able to cope with at all, but is fine in the yogurt.

Just a note - I have been having coconut milk in drinks, but read the other day that it has been implicated in high cholesterol. Apparently, fresh coconut is ok, but with tinned, some is processed in such a way that it turns it into a hydrogenated product. It is very annoying as I can't have rice milk because of the high carb content and gluten contamination, oat milk may or may not be gluten contaminated, almond milk is very expensive and difficult to find and, apart from the fact that the stuff is bad news, I can't tolerate soy milk.

I've bought a couple coconuts and have little choice but to try and make my own. Anyone made it successfully?

I just ran across a casein free SCD webpage. I have not read it, though. Open Original Shared Link

About the coconut milk, I do not know, but maybe one of the nomilk pages has some info? paleodiet pages are around somewhere, and Don Wiss has several milk-and grain-free pages somewhere on the web. Open Original Shared Link

yes, he has coconut recipes Open Original Shared Link

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
