Another thought would be trying some probiotics in her diet- either supplements (like a powder) or probiotic foods, like yogurt, kefir, or lacto-fermented vegetables. @Jackie, I would consider whether she is eating whole grains (as opposed to refined), how much sugar she consumes, and whether she is getting enough liquids in (especially water, unless breastfed, and then just ensuring that she's well hydrated).

I have a question about making the second batch of sour cream. Do I take some of the original batch of sour cream and make more (like yogurt)? Or do I need to start over each time? Thanks!

I made sour cream for the first time yesterday and I had to use UHT cream as well (I didn't realize it until the sour cream had been on top of my fridge almost 24 hours), but it turned out great. Mine did thicken up a lot more than I had expected, pretty much like regular sour cream. It does taste great. Is that ok that it thickened up so much? We do have a warmer house (springtime, trying to keep the AC off until we really need it), is that maybe why it did that? Thank you for this post and for all the information/replies in the comments, it really shows that you care about eating well and spreading the love! :) Ok, I just have to check in also.

I'm not sure of where you could get it online. I'm sure there are options, but living in Canada, I'm just not sure what they would be for you. I think the cream from your milk would be your best bet. @liz g, Oh, that's tough. I'm not sure of where you could get it online.

In my state (South Carolina) it is illegal for them to sell me any type of raw milk that has been changed from it's original state. I can buy raw milk, but not raw cream, butter, ect. Any other cream I can find has been ultra pasteurized. Any online sites I can buy it from? Or would it be better to just use the cream off the top of my milk? @Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home,

I found it through your salad dressing post on simple bites. I have been wanting to make my own sour cream in part to avoid all the additives (although I normally buy the Daisy brand sour cream which lists "cultured cream" as its only ingredient) but also so I don't have the #5 plastic container to try and do something with. Where I live we can only recycle #1&2 so buying things like sour cream which are #5 create a hassle. Anyway, thanks again, I can't believe how easy this is!
