...I'd make sure the kefir grains in that jar haven't been 'adulterated'. I'd think rinsing them thoroughly with fresh milk (and then discarding the milk), and then doing a few 'test batches' to make sure they're not 'growing anything green' would be sufficient.

I think it was just the lighting thy made it look green cause I examined it after and didn't see any green just that build up in off white. I drank some before I read this unfortunately, alot more than usual too. took garlic incase it was mold or fungus. clean an sterilized the jar and washed the grains. anyways not feeling to good really dizzy and weird after all that kefir I drank. gonna lie down now.

Hi Uny:
Excuse me but this is my first post. I have read some postings on perforated appendix and some suggestions about not using pro biotics but instead doing kefer. I am been using kefer for sometime but had to cut back with milk based.

Last month I had the same thing the lady back in 2009 come up with with a perferated appendix and a drain tube. The hospital put me on IV Antibiotics for 1 day and then pill form Antibiotics that lasted until tuesday may 1st yesterday. I still have the drain since the absess is not yet cleared.

I read on the forum last saturday about stopping food and going on a juice fast which I have since then. (I wish I knew this a week before when symptoms started. I got several times the output from the drain/bag and started feeling some energy the next day.

My other concern is getting this appendix to heal and get my colon healthy. (another issue that may have caused this is medication that has caused constipation issues for several weeks prior to this) I have some fear of doing an enema or colonic that the pressure may open up the organ more.

My hope is to get the perforation to completely heal. I do elm bark and have been using echinacia and garlic several days. This is scary for me and would welcome help. Thank you for your consideration Uny. I have allowed emails from visitors. Steve
