Anyone found kefir has improved their health?

Just that really! Thanks for any replies.

Thank you for that. The yemoos site is a great resource. It also told me that my unpleasant side effects might be a result of over fermentation so I'll work on that.

Wow rizlett, the yemoos link is a real mine of information.

Thanks mollie & sigh. I always have to refer back to that site to remind me what I'm doing.

I've currently got a Lidl kefir and am going to do a test against my home made. I hope the Lidl one loses because I love looking after my 'babies'. (and eating them!)

I realize this thread is very old but found it very interesting. Shame that making homemade kefir is such a logistical nightmare - I can only really drink small doses (a quarter to half of a mug per day) and obviously the kefir keep multiplying and requiring a lot more milk than I drink so seems a waste to pour milk away and the success of the ferment relies a lot on matching the temperature with amount of milk and amount of grains - these factors are continually changing so it's not always easy to get the balance right either. :(

When is the best time to drink Kombucha? Do you normally drink it in the morning? After you've been to the gym?

You could try water kefir instead. Not tried yet but on my 'list.'

@JudyOha you know you can eat the grains don't you? Try rinsing a small amount of your grains under the tap to wash off the kefir and eat them or add them to the kefir you drink. Also if you have the Olio app you can offer your spare grains or kefir on that.
