    I have recently acquired a Lakeland (in the UK) yogurt maker. It comes with a liter sized pot and I also have a second one to make a fresh batch in whilst the first is still storing the previous one in the fridge. It's this type - www.lakeland.co.uk/electric-yoghurt-maker/F/keyword/yogurt/product/3440_3441 I imagine you should be able to find a similar...

    If you trawl through a lot of the other posts on this forum you will find that you problem echoes a lot other people's. They find that just dropping gluten is not the answer as they are very often intolerant to other foods as well, particularly other carbohydrates. I am convinced a lot of us are struggling with rogue bacterial infestations. The carbohydrates...

    ARCHIVED Allergy Test

    AliB replied to nfady's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    If you have a look at the 'Almonds' thread in this section you will see that 'Woolygimp' gets almost identical symptoms to you. I suspect that it may be to do with bacterial activity. Most of us carry rogue bacteria within our guts and sometimes they get out of control. They can cause problems anywhere in the body. My suspicion is, through the research...

    Dawn, you don't go 'cold turkey' you go 'hot chicken and carrot soup' . Elaine advises a gentle start - to eat foods that the gut should be able to cope with easily then gradually build up with other foods as the gut starts to heal. Although baked goods made with Almonds are yummy, some find that, because of the damage, they cannot cope with them...

    Hi Mia. I emailed Fage about the Total yogurt and they told me it contains the same 2 bacteria Strep Thermophilus and L.bulgaricus. I see no reason for it to be any different over in Germany. I suppose it really depends on which you feel is the better value for money! I have suggested to them that they put the probiotic strains on the pack as I feel...

    ARCHIVED Allergy Test

    AliB replied to nfady's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    There is a big difference between an allergy and an intolerance. Most people who have a problem with gluten are gluten-intolerant or gluten-sensitive. You have not explained what form your reaction to gluten takes. An allergy usually takes the form of a histamine reaction where the face and eyes puff up, the throat can close up and breathing may be...

    ARCHIVED Almonds

    AliB replied to Woolygimp's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I reckon this takes a bit of lateral thinking. I have 2 schools of thought on this although I suspect they are both linked. For years I would get times when I was so fatigued I could easily have just laid down wherever I was, even in the street. It would take a supreme amount of effort for me to stay upright. Although I wasn't aware of any problem...

    I think the long fermentation time recommended by Elaine is as much about allowing the bacteria to proliferate as it is about the break down of lactose. The longer the fermentation, the more bacteria. If it is tart, what bacterial strains are you using? Different bacteria produce different results. I happen to use the Total (Fage) greek yogurt as...

    Found this site about making coconut milk which is useful. He blends it first then puts it through a juicer instead of through muslin or a sieve. Open Original Shared Link

    If you go back three or four pages I mentioned how I make the coconut milk, but will repeat it. I pierce the 'soft' eye and make a hole. I then prop it over a mug to drain and drink that separately. Give it a shake every now and then to ensure it hasn't blocked. When it's 'dry' take a hammer and thump it in a few places, or do as my grandsons and...

    They probably make the coconut flour from the fibre that is left after they have extracted all the coconut flesh for oil, milk and cream. It may well be very dry and need some of the oil replaced. I have to admit I hadn't thought of that as I have been looking into getting some coconut flour. I use the finely ground flesh that is left after I have made...

    If you are on the library waiting list for the book it shows just how popular it is!!!

    I would think you could make that recipe from any nut flour or coconut flour - just a matter or experimentation. I have some pears, coconut flour and ground hazelnuts and will try it with those. Sounds good. Thanks Mia. Although I seem to be ok with eggs, we have a friend whose little grandson can't eat them so I'll pass her the recipe, too.

    It is not the banana that contains the high levels of tyramine but the skin. A banana typically contains 7

    My family wasn't very well off but neither were we poor. My lovely Mum used to make all home-made food, grow her own veg, raise chickens and bake her own bread mostly with wholemeal flour, but still I succumbed to the dreaded Candida. I have not been well since I was a teenager. I was given a lot of anti-biotics as a child as I used to get a lot of chest...

    Just out of interest does anyone know whether you can get rid of the nitrites/nitrates by washing the meat or is is intrinsically within the the meat fibres? I wondered the same with dried fruit. I always soak dried fruit in hot water for a while to soften it which also helps remove some of the mineral oil and hopefully the sulphite. Not sure what difference...

    Hmm, a bit like 'local Army guns are never loaded with live ammunition'. Do I believe that? Hardly. They can tell us what they like at the end of the day, but how much of it is true? It kind of begs the question - if these crops are sterile, why would they try and charge farmers who inadvertently end up growing the crops by accident? Where would they...

    At the end of the day we are dealing with microscopic damage. A biopsy can only pick up major (and I mean MAJOR) and very obvious damage to the gut wall. They can take a biopsy of tissues and put them under the microscope but if they have picked undamaged areas to take them from they will miss it. Because the leaky gut is right down under all the villi...

    Paula, can you not just make the SCD yogurt? The long fermentation digest the lactose and changes the casein into a more digestible form. You can buy Probios but in my experience they are obscenely expensive for what you get.

    I don't want to frighten anyone but I think we have to be very careful that we try if possible to stay away from any GM foods. It can be difficult as these 'Frankenfoods' are insidious. A piece of GM broccoli looks identical to 'normal' broccoli so how do you tell? I am going to try and source local growers if I can. My little grandson had something...

    Oh yes Mia, I had that problem too - over here in the UK cider is alcoholic! Of course cider is made from pure pressed apple juice and it seems that it is that that is referred to as cider in the States and Canada. I'm sure we would all be delighted if the alcoholic type was SCD legal but sadly that is not the case - boo hoo!

    I would vouch for that. So many find that just dropping gluten only answers part of their problems. Those of us who have issues with other foods may well be suffering from gut dysbiosis and bacterial overgrowth. That's where the Specific Carbohydrate Diet works as it cuts out the foods that feed the little beasties and helps the body heal. Check out...

    I made Naomi Devlin's Vanilla Pumpkin Pie this evening for dessert. Oh boy - so scrummy. I made a thicker base with extra ground hazelnuts and almonds, added an extra egg and some apples to the filling mix and blended them along with the other ingredients and reduced the honey a little, and served with yogurt and coconut cream it was wonderful. Here...

    You're right about having the salad with hot food - I fried up a little ham and some mushrooms and had those with the salad and it was good. I often have salad when I eat out and that normally comes with hot food so I'm ok with that. I like the idea of the cooked apple with the yogurt - funny I'm ok with that cold. The soup with raw veg sounds interesting...

    I did the phMiracle 'Alkalizing Diet' about 2 years ago. I did lose some weight, the External Candida symptoms cleared up, the IBS went away, but after 4 - 5 weeks I had to stop the diet as my stomach got so sore....I did wonder if I had overdone the alkalizing with the wheat grass 'green drink' and the minerals. If I did that again I would not take those...
