My trays are like this: I've bought all sorts of liners and non-stick papers to put on it. The plastic is pretty flimsy...not really strong enough to hold the weight of yogurt jars without some sort of support underneath it, at least in the center. Since I would be using the dehydrator as an oven, I would not have to worry about air circulation. Heck, I could probably just put the jars on the floor of it.
I think that (put them on the floor of it) is what most do and they often use quart glass jars if they will fit.
That's interesting. So were you going to do 36 hours at the lower temp for regular yogurt, or are you gonna get that bacteria that Yvonne did?
I ordered the bacteria and the inulin to feed it. Donna Schwenck says it will fix the gut biome (her issue) and raise the oxytocin, thus making one a nicer person ( for me). I'll wait till everything arrives then figure out how to use it.
If it's gonna make me more agreeable, maybe I'll stick with Yoplait I find it interesting that this one species/strain is being promoted, when I thought that a diversity of bacteria was more better. I'm gonna see how you & Yvonne fare after a week or so of eating this before I try. I think my system is becoming delicate.
It is also well worth getting the Super Gut book, because he lays out a whole strategy for getting your GI tract clean and ready for the new probiotics from the L. Reuteri yogurt. There is a lot of technical stuff that is beyond me, but would probably interest you, @Don Alaska , and also just a step by step guide to get rid of the SIBO once and for all, completely. He says to take curcurmin in the preliminary steps, so I just got a bottle of the capsules and started taking those today, too. You have to help kill off the bad bacteria that has climbed from the colon into the small intestine, and he said the curcurmin helps with that procedure. Plus there are foods (like grains) to cut out of your diet as well. I am not all of the way through the book yet, but I am working on it, and implementing changes as I go.
Here is what the book says about taking a curcurmin supplement, and it seems to me that this would be helpful for a person’s gut health, whether or not you made the probiotic LR yogurt, or even just take the probiotic capsules. It helps to get rid of bad bacteria, and that is always a good thing. I could not find any that doesn’t contain pepper (since most say it needs pepper for digestion, and Dr. Davis says it should not be digested and is better for it to remain in the gut), so I just chose one that worked for the month time period that was specified in the book.
As the write up says, the piperine (pepper) is a synergist of sorts enhancing absorption for systemic uses. I guess for the gut, NOT having it absorbed is preferred. Oil of Oregano is also recommended for this purpose but I am not certain if that continues past the stomach as much. Oil of Oregano warms the stomach, so I guess you can feel it working.
Since curcumin is derived from turmeric, I wonder if turmeric might not be a potential substitute (even though many of those also include black pepper.) I once looked at supplementing turmeric, but the list of potential downsides (especially impact on the liver) listed on WebMD caused me to put it on the back burner.
I think turmeric would be a fine substitute. The recommendations posted by @Yvonne Smith listed 300 mg BID or 600 mg BID; The WebMd caution mentioned 3000 mg and 8000 mg daily. 8 grams of a lot of stuff could cause liver issues. Do you have cholestasis @John Brunner ?
Turmeric warnings has been all over our radios / TV in the last 2weeks or so I believe it may be related to a death of someone that was consuming turmeric https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/turmeric-supplement-warning-after-fatality-tga
I just looked at the book on the Aust site @Yvonne Smith but I’m a bit of a dummy when it comes to downloading a kindle or reading matter so can you tell me how it all works ..please if you don’t mind
