Making Yogurt

Hi,

My daughter now 3 1/2 and her 2 year old sister are lactose intolerant. They also have never been very fond of soy yogurt and I feel they don't need all that soy if they don't have to have it. So, I was thinking about making my own. I was looking at yogurt makers but could use some more info. Has anyone ever tried this? I read that the longer it sits the more lactose is gone. Can you use lactaid? What do you need to do this? Any help would be a blessing!

They could just take lactaid (the pill variety) just before eating the yogurt. You could probably use lactaid milk (which is just milk with the enzyme that's in the pill already added) to make it, but I haven't tried. (I'm casein intolerant.)

Thanks. We already use the milk but my girls are too young for the pill and we couldn't afford it even if they could take it. Also, I forgot to mention that they can't have any artificail colors. This makes it very difficult.

Hi,

As I mentioned in my last post, my girls can not tolerate any amount of lactose. They also don't like soy yogurt and can not handle any artificial color. This made buying yogurt very hard. I found a website GIProheath.com, they make a dairy, soy, corn, gluten and wheat free yogurt starter called ProGurt. So I decided to give it a try. They say it is excellent for people with Celiac. I also ordered a Yogourmet yogurt maker. Both got here on Wednesday. I was so excited! I also found out about the SCD diet. (Breaking through the vicious cylce) They said that if you use cows milk and let it ferment 24 hours it would be lactose free. So I tried. Both my girls were sick. So I made it with Lactaid. It worked! They love it. You can also make it with soy or nut milks. Just had to tell everyone!

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
