It was also a different process from other cultures and we have learned so much to help you learn more about this yogurt and how to make it. Tune in to learn more about this superfood yogurt.

I just made my first batch. It came out perfect! I used my dehydrator to make it. I covered the stainless steel bowl with a plastic wrap. Put it on for 36 hours at 100F. It is delicious. I put some keto cheesecake powder and lemon curd in it. It tastes just like cheesecake and just in one day I noticed better sleep. My morning exercise routine was the best I’ve done in years. I didn’t do anything different. Just had some of this. I’ll be eating this as a bedtime snack😋😋

Did you stetilize everything? Wondering if I can just make in my oven with the light on?

Hi there. I was having trouble with the whey separation so I heated my milk to 180 deg f then let cool to 100 deg then added the mixture and my yoghurt came out a lot better and hardly any whey

[@islandboy9580]

Do the reuteri eat the lactose like ihey do in kifer so end result is low in milk sugars?

[@mrsfarmwife84]

I have made it several times and it has worked very well for me. I would like to make larger batches and appreciate your helpful hints you have put out in regards to that. I look forward to making more at a time. Our first culture was great. I used our whole raw milk and some cream which we pasteurized on the stovetop as we do with our regular yogurt. Thank you!

[@CulturedFoodLife]

So glad it's working well for you! It can be tricky at first but is so worth it!

[@mrsfarmwife84]

I did an experiment since I had 2 pints of organic ultra pasteurized half and half. I used those to make a batch of the L. Reuteri yogurt with the 3 T. prebiotics that was recommended after receiving my order of the starter (as apposed to the 2 I used the first time culturing our own milk). With the U.P. half and half, I experienced the seperation of the curds and whey during the 36 hour culturing time that had not happened when using our own milk and cream. I will keep making it with our own milk since I had better success = no separation, and it also recultured successive batches very well. Thought I'd let you know my results.

I have done kombucha and cultured vegetables for many years. You have taught me so much! And have gotten a few others started on the kombucha. I was making milk kefir but after your podcast on how dairy kefir still can aggravate allergies I changed to Ripple (almond milk). It got too much to make the hubby milk and me almond so I just kept up with his. I still deal with allergies, although I can't give up my kombucha and cultured vegetables! Does this yogurt have the same allergy aggravation that the kefir does? If I were to use Ripple instead of dairy do the benefits decrease as they do in kefir? Thanks for ALL YOU DO DONNA!!

I do know that Donna taught me that kombucha has to be continually drank for it goes in and does it's "cleaning out" and in a few days leaves your body. I don't know if this is the same way, but why wouldn't we want to eat something so fantastic often just to ensure we've got it!! Like any other healthy bacteria it has to be fed to stay alive and, me for one, don't always eat properly.

[@pri_rv]

I read his Super Gut book and it’s because some strains are transient by nature, meaning they only stick around in your gut for a few days and then they are gone, thus why you must continue to eat them on a regular basis to repopulate your gut. Others colonize, but some are transient.

[@catswishes6848]

To simplify my life I am planning to just ferment L. Reuteri in the Luvelle machine once a week. Do you think I should add regular kefir brewing so I get a mix of probiotics? Or should I just let the L. Reuteri colonize and party for a while? I understand it doesn't stay in the gut very long and needs be replaced every few days... Any insights... thank you for the podcast....

[@sallydown4636]

Dr. William Davis, MD invented this process for culturing L. Reuteri, and he strongly discourages trying to culture a mix of probiotics. Apparently, L. Reuteri is fairly delicate and prefers to culture at approximately 100 degrees farenheit, the temperature of the human body. This is a significantly lower temperature than what is preferred by most other microbes. If you try to culture multiple probiotics with the L. Reuteri, you will either kill the L. Reuteri because the culture is too hot, or the L. Reuteri will grow, but the other microbes will not because the culture is too cold. Dr. Davis suggests that you make your L. Reuteri separately. Dr. Davis gives detailed information in his book "Super Gut," and also on his website.

I hope you are back to it! When you experience pain from doing something helpful for your body you have to grit through it because healing is right around the corner. We have to remember if we have been damaging our bodies in anyway, some people decades, then the healing crisis can be very painful and tidies and sometimes equal to the amount of mistreatment time. However, you should be experiencing slight gains along the way, which in turn will keep you moving forward.💡😃

I know that it can be made with coconut milk or cream, but I can’t find a recipe or directions. Do you have a video for using coconut milk or cream? Where can I find it?
