is sheep yogurt ok for FOCC?


 

I'm not supposed to have cow or goat dairy because these trigger excessive immune response on my lung sarcoidosis chronic autoimmune.

However, sheep dairy is ok.  I can get organic sheep yogurt, but I can't find sheep cottage cheese at any health food stores.

Does anyone think that sheep yogurt would ok for Bugwig FOCC mix?

Thank you!

Can you get just sheep milk? Cottage cheese isn't hard to make. Some folks strain yogurt to increase the protein percentage. Tha may be worth a try. I do not know how much protein is in sheep yogurt.

Hi Derald,
 
I think that in order to get a comparable amount of protein as cottage cheese or quark, you will need to remove the whey.  Just put the sheep yogurt on a large piece of cheesecloth placed in a colander so you can drain the whey out of it.  

Very best,
Marilyn


 

Bellwether Farms plain sheep yogurt has 10g protein in 170g serving size, so about 6% protein.  Yes, I can get sheep milk from health food store and surely I can learn how to make cottage cheese on youtube. 

 Thank you for the suggestion, Rod!

Thank you, Marilyn!

I will also try to make my own from sheep milk as suggested by Rod.

Derald,
The milk might even be less expensive than the yogurt and making cottage cheese is not that time consuming.
Good luck!
Marilyn


 

Yes. I will definitely learn to make it.  Thank you, Marilyn!

At 6% you have about half what is recommended in protein. You might be able to increace that by straining, but since you can get sheep milk it might be worth making your own CC. There are several methods, some very simple.
