    I'm undecided on this. I was actually eating goat yogurt (store bought) before I was diagnosed by Enterolab with casein intolerance, but I was also eating regular greek yogurt too (alternating the two), so I don't know if both of those contributed to the antibodies or just the greek stuff did. I may try it once, but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue...

    Oh shoot...I didn't bring my book with me today, but I know she mentions two kinds of tea. I know spearmint is one but can't remember the other one. She advises drinking it weak. Okay here's what I found on the website: "Ordinary black tea is legal but should be made weak. Instant tea,Ojibwa tea (Essiac), many herbal teas, teas made from bark etc...

    Yep, I think that's the worst one. The colitis thing is one of the reasons why I wanted to try the SC diet...my mother also has divertulosis and I have many of the same symptoms as she does (or she me...I'm trying to get her to go get tested for celiac, lol).

    Or maybe increase the amount of fruit you are eating a bit.

    I've been having D since January...I always have it to a certain extent but it changed around January when I had surgery...I have pain in the area that I assume is the intestines...kind of right below the belly button but a little to the left side. I've also had some feeling of nausea and light headedness, and blood pressure is lower than normal. And, in...

    Dani - I'm with you...I've been having a lot of pain this week too. I can't wait to get these dang tests done...I guess I could do the diet with chicken and carrots...but I'm not supposed to eat any red meats, pork etc until these tests are over. I'm going to do it without the yogurt for a while too I think.

    ARCHIVED #&$#@!% Waiting...

    Wow, I thought it was bad that I had to wait until March 20 to see mine (made the appointment about two weeks ago)! I have to wait until April 3 for my colonoscopy! I can't even imagine that many months booked ahead.

    I'm getting excited too...I'm not planning to start until the weekend though...I'm trying to get through a stool test right now, which is already pretty limited...I just haven't wanted to think how I can restrict for that and this diet too, so I'm waiting for no other reason that my mental happiness, lol. I also need carrots and hamburger, lol.

    No I don't think the store kind is okay, but I haven't actually started the diet yet, just bought the book a couple of days ago. Elaine's reasoning is that the store bought kind hasn't been fermented long enough. According to her it needs to ferment for at least 24 hours to make sure all the lactose is digested by the bacterial culture so that your intestine...

    Actually this is not in the book...Nancy kind of made this up...here's a link to the instructions: Open Original Shared Link Coconut milk doesn't have casein...but you would need to look for one that doesn't have added ingredients, especially no sugar. ETA: You could try some cooked fruit...don't ask me how, lol. I am no cook! Or in the...

    Yep, breakfast is my problem too. I can eat eggs, but I just don't like them much, so I'm going to try to make the coconut milk yogurt. Salton makes an inexpensive yogurt maker and it sounds easy enough to to. The hardest thing is the yogurt starter, but there is supposedly a dairy-free yogurt starter online. I'm also going to look at Whole Foods to see...

    In the US it's Sucralose and maybe citric acid...I can't find liquid Splenda (there is such a thing in Canada I believe), but here in the US DaVinci Sugar Free Syrups are about the closest thing....some of the flavors do have carmel coloring which I haven't checked out...I haven't been using it though since going gluten-free.

    I still believe it's going to get better. I asked a question about new intolerances from some of the long time celiac people and most of the answers say it does get better eventually...new problem foods get less and less and that makes sense to me.
  16. dlp252
    It sounds to me like she is at least willing to consider the possibility, which I think is a good start! She sounds like she at least knows some basics like it runs in families/is genetic! One question you might ask is how many samples they'll take during the biopsy...I think the general consensus is that it should be more than just a couple.
  17. dlp252
    You are correct with your statement about Casein...it is an intolerance and should be avoided. The casein is a protein in dairy (including goat milk, although the protein is slightly different), which, in your (and in my) case is causing a reaction in your system. Lactose is the sugar in dairy and some people are able to have it again. I can't comment...

    Thanks Carole! I think I've decided to try the Salton first...besides being cheap and small I can get it locally at several stores! I'm excited to try the coconut yogurt...I miss my yogurt sooooo much!

    Thanks Nancy and Rachel!
  20. dlp252
    Okay, I've read so many threads I can't remember what I read where, lol. What kind of yogurt maker do you all have? I'm thinking of getting the little cheapie Salton this weekend...several stores in my area are likely to have it. I'm thinking I should start with that before I invest in a nicer one (Yogourmet I think, lol), to make sure this is something...
  21. dlp252
    Casein is a protein that is in all dairy products, including goat milk, although there is some thinking that the protein in goat milk is different enough so as not to cause problems...right now I'm avoiding it all. Here is a list that I carry with me of ingredients to avoid [note: I had this combined with an ingredient list for gluten-free stuff so some...

    Following along with the good bacteria idea...I haven't finished reading the book yet, so maybe this is addressed somewhere, but why isn't just taking a probiotic okay? I'm going to try the coconut yogurt just because I miss having yogurt in the mornings (I can't seem to stomach anything in the mornings these days except my Bumble bars with nut butter, but...
  23. dlp252
    I'm going to start this soon myself. I've seen a lot of improvement since going gluten and casein free, but have still had problems with my digestion/intestines. I've had a slew of tests run, but they've all come back negative so far (except for the one for blood in my stool). My doctor has scheduled me for a colonoscopy because she thinks I may have an...
