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

I have Natasha Campbell-McBride's 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome' book - it's my health Bible at the moment. thanks for the link to that website Nora, it looks interesting, I shall have a good parouse of that and the other links.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply. Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots...

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.

It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
