    What makes you say that. Just curious how you can tell.

    I have made three batches of coconut milk yogurt. The first two came out fine. The third one cultured yeast. I'm wondering how this happened and how I can prevent it from happening again. The first two batches were started with (first) commercial cow's milk yogurt, and (second) some yogurt from the first batch. They contained canned coconut milk (with...

    Another reason to stay away from fast foods. This does not suprise me. If you think about it, they feed cows corn to fatten them up.

    YEAST IN MY YOGURT!!! ????? Yesterday I started coconut yogurt with canned coconut milk and the newly acquired probiotics in capsules (only l. acidophilius... other ingredients: cellulose, l-leucine) - I opened the capsules and only added the stuff inside into the milk. Today, I took the jars out and there was a sort of fibrous "scum" on the top of...

    This week started out not so good, but is ending on a high note. I was rather edgy most of the week with off and on loose stools, but am feeling very well today. I was going to wait a week or so before having any more coconut yogurt, but decided to give my second batch a try (the one made from the previous batch which has much less casein in it). I...

    I agree. I have used Pomi tomatoes by Parmalat - imported from Italy - it's in a box. I have found it at Whole Foods and recently at my local grocery store (Price Chopper). Only ingredient is "tomatoes". I haven't had any since going on SCD but will be trying it out later on.

    I can't have eggs or dairy, so my breakfast looks very similar to my lunch and also my dinner. I usually eat leftovers from other meals. Right now, it's mostly chicken/carrot soup and maybe another vegetable. Maybe some cooked fruit. If not the soup, then definitely a protein from some cooked meat. I have made a very nice pumpkin stew that I like for...

    Yes. Lots of mucous in my throat and immediately after eating coconut yogurt from my first batch, which was started by using a 1/4 cup cow's milk yogurt to about 1 quart of coconut milk. This happened every time I ate the yogurt. Since I am casein intolerant my conclusion is that there was too much casein in it and I reacted. I quit eating the yogurt and...

    That makes sense. Dawn - I make a very tasty ginger ale with sparkling water and fresh ginger. Take about an inch of peeled ginger root, chop it up, pour over it some boiling water and brew for 10 minutes. Drain off the liquid and save. Then repeat and brew again the remains of the ginger to get all the juice out of it. Add honey to taste (I add stevia...

    Pele - I have read the whole thread - however, that does not mean I retained it all. My "forgetter" works far better than my "rememberer" I agree in theory with your approach, especially given your mild symptoms. And mine are certainly not that severe. When I went thru the intro, and I assume killing off a lot of bacteria, I did have a detox reaction...

    I should have included that my "experimenting" has all been SCD legal foods - but I've been introducing them way too soon, like almond flour muffins and raw celery. I seem to have no desire to have any starches and, unlike Ali, I really don't care much for chocolate candy and hate rice cakes. But, it's early days yet. Perhaps later on down the road when...

    Interesting discussion. I like ShayFL's approach. After I give this diet a goodly amount of time to clear up the mess my gut is in, I will feel better about relaxing it a bit. It has been over 24 hours since having any coconut yogurt (the batch that was started with a cow milk yogurt). All gas and cramping and stomach sensations are gone. That's after...

    Does anyone start out 100% compliant with this diet? It seems everyone on this thread has either added too many foods too soon or has cheated early on to their detrement. But then they go back to the beginning and get more serious about it. My high regards to anyone who follows the process completely from the get-go.

    Fig Girl - that's a good report. You seem to have made a good working plan. I need to do the same kind of thing and be more deliberate about this diet if it's going to help me isolate troublesome foods. Another symptom with the coconut yogurt, besides eventually having gas and D, was that almost immediately after eating it my throat would form a lot of...

    An interesting video... VIDEO: CROHN'S BOY PAYS IT FORWARD WITH SPECIFIC CARBHOYDRATE DIET STARTING TIPS Monday, October 20, 2008 In this video, "Crohn's Boy" explains common SCD mistakes. It's invaluable to someone starting the diet and gets the message across that because a food is "legal", it's not a reason to throw caution to the wind Open Original...

    Thanks for answering my questions, Ali. Well, it's because of my casein intolerance, but, if what you say, the casein isn't a problem because it's pre-digested, I may try some making some milk yogurt and see what happens. I'm also thinking that I've tried to progress too fast along the stages of the diet. I'm going to back off of the yogurt for...

    Welcome to the thread, Kschauer. Hoping you have great success. mftnchn - thanks for the tip on the yogurt - nice to know one doesn't have to be so precise!! I HAVE A QUESTION I've been thinking about the probiotics and what happens in the gut, etc. (I've had way too much time to ponder things) My understanding is that the SCDiet, because...

    Glad I could help, Dawn. I tested the water temp, fine-tuning the dimmer setting, for a couple days with just water in it and in the jars. With the milk in the jars I did have to move the setting it just a couple hair-widths higher. Well, that just reinforces my using the crockpot method and not spend any money on a yogurt maker. I didn't want...

    Go to www.pecanbread.com and check out the legal food list and recipes. Lots of help there on what to eat. Also, www.scdrecipe.com - lots and lots of great recipes. I'm still coming off the intro so am still eating a lot of chicken/carrot soup and other well cooked vegetables and some cooked fruit. Not much variety yet, but looking forward to moving...

    Dawn, Well, I hope at least one of the yogurt methods works. Too bad about the dimmer. I believe that the honey does give the bacteria something to eat as there is none, or not much, natural sugars in coconut milk. Funny thing, though, with my dimmer. The dial has a little red indicator light on it - slide the button one way and the light dims, slide...

    Here's instructions on making nut milk yogurts. They cite the original article as being from pecanbread.com, but I wasn't able to find it there quite as quickly as this site. Open Original Shared Link I'm not sure about needing to sterilize canned coconut milk but I bring it to a boil just to be on the safe side so that I'm not introducing any rogue bacteria...

    Here's the quick answer. I'll try to find the place where I found instructions for coconut milk yogurt. I have a small crockpot which will hold only two small mason jars (about 1-2/3 cups each). So that's all I can make at one time. Each jar holds the amount of one can of coconut milk plus the added yogurt starter. I use two 13.5 fl. oz. cans of coconut...
