Do you ever get used to the taste of kefir?

[WearsblackLoveschocolateAvoidspeople]

I have awful digestive issues and am under the guidance of a dietitian.

Amongst her recommendations she has suggested that I have kefir. I don't tolerate dairy well so am trying a coconut milk version.

The problem is that it tastes rank, as though it has gone bad. I know it is a fermented product and it is supposed to have that weird fizzy taste and texture but my brain can't get past the thought that it has turned and will make me poorly. I remember trying dairy kefir some years ago and feeling the same.

My dietitian says it will really help build my microbiome to healthier levels but tbh I am wondering if a daily probiotic tablet would be more palatable?

Do you mix it with anything? We just eat it like plain yoghurt. I make the kids a berry compote by heating a bag of frozen raspberries and/or forest fruits and some honey, they eat that on kefir. Have also made a mango one in a similar way. Or just a bit of honey?

Someone’s probably mentioned smoothies but you can put it in there and mix with lots of other things that are good for the gut. Have you tried slippery elm?

I am going to start putting it in smoothies from now on in the hope I can start reaping some of the benefits from the stuff.

Thanks all.

I have tried slippery elm but it hasn't done much.
