PROBIOTICS for you and your chickens

Try Tamari Soy Sauce--it's wheat-free. It uses a traditional Japanese method of fermenting organic soybeans which is why it costs more.

And for those people that are allergic to soy AND wheat, there's Coconut Aminos. It has a sweeter taste than regular soy sauce. Be careful when opening the bottle, the product is raw and effervescent. Chickielady, this is perfect for you!

I don't know if anyone has tried the Bragg's Liquid Amino Acid. It tastes like soy sauce to me. To be honest I haven't read what is in there but knowing a little about the company I doubt it has MSG. Check it out at the health food store. Plus it's good for you.
Wow! That is a lot of disorders! Thankfully I only have one: Graves Disease. That's enough for me to handle. I don't know how you do it! You must be a very strong and determined woman...........

I am a fan of Bragg's amino acids myself. We don't use regular SS. Plus if you are having difficulty digesting proteins, Bragg's Amino acids help fulfill your protein requirements.

I use Braggs ACV but never tried their amino acids. Hey I am looking for a good yogurt recipe, I had one years ago where you used your oven set on very low temp. and used pint canning jars, does anyone have a recipe like that? Or something just as easy?

 

[hencackle]

Do you have a dehydrator? I set mine to a low temperature and incubate the culture in pint jars. Having mentioned the word, "incubate" makes me wonder if anybody has actually used a digital incubator for this purpose?

 

[Miss Lydia]

No I don't have a dehydrator, I have wanted one for a while just never got around to getting one, do you have a Lehmans catalog they have a yogurt maker that I like but if I could get the recipe for the one I asked about wouldn't have to buy one , the one in the catalog doesn't use electricity.

 

[hencackle]

Yes, but it's an old catalog. Are you looking at this yogurt maker? If so, the instructions and recipe are on this pdf.

Some health food stores sell yogurt cultures, I know Earth Fare does. I've cheated and used a couple of tablespoons of unflavored Dannon yogurt, or Greek yogurt, as a starter per jar of milk. Hope that helps!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes it is hencackle, thanks and wish I could do things like that. not very good at computers, I am a little concerned about the polystyrene insulation will have to look into that stuff. I have used other yogurt to start mine also, but it's been many years, now I buy Stoney Farms organic and since I feed it to my 4 dogs 19 chickens and myself it's getting rather expensive. would like to cut down on my food bill, but I liked the idea of making butter milk too. Well off to the grocery store.

 

[hencackle]

Oh no, I didn't make that pdf myself. Oh my goodness, that's beyond me! It's on Lehman's website and all I did was copy the link and insert in the Word-Link button located above the smilies. I cheated.

I'm sure the "insert" prevents the yogurt from coming in contact with the polystyrene. It looks like a nice product and it's good to see that Lehman sells replacement inserts and lids in case the original gets broken.

Good luck making yogurt today!

Holy Moley..Graves is awful too.

The over active immunal system can attack more than one body system.
So it is all symptoms of 1 disease.
Sometimes all is well, and sometimes 'it' goes wacky and I can get sick..
As for the disease itself, if I had to pick a disease to have, this would be the one.
It can make a person miserable.
But it usually does not kill.
And I think the medications to suppress the over active immunal system are worse than just doing without the medication.
Best to all~~
