• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

    Making SCD yogurt using lactose free milk and can I use starter from Trader Joe’s organic yogurt?

    Has anyone made it with lactose free milk? Are there potential problems with it? I looks like ALL the yogurt from Trader Joe’s contains bifidus which according to Breaking the Vicious Cycle is illegal. What to do? Does it really matter?
