I just bought some kefir and had some which I really like, I had read how it was really good for people trying to rid themselves of candida.
Then I read the label more carefully, although the ingredients are: Partially skim organic milk, bacterial culture.
It says at the bottom "Contains natural active bacterias and yeasts living in symbiosis"
WTF!?
I just about dropped the container, I thought yeasts were the exact thing we were supposed to stay away from. Can anyone clarify this?- Re: YIKES! yeast in my kefir?! rod

This is a reply to # 618,941as everything in the world there are good yeast that help your body and bad yeast the one that comes in kefir is the good yeast, don't worry about it, I have been drinking for 2 months 1.5 litres of kefir per day and feeling better day by day. However the commercial kefir is not the right one you must try to get the real kefir grains, so that you can prepair kefir at home with not additional price other than the milk.
Conclusion: Kefir is the best probiotic and food you can put in your guts.

Whew! Thanks Rod.
I wanted to try the commercial brand, it seems to be a good organic quality - before I went ahead and learned to make my own. Last night I made a smoothie with frozen mixed berries, kefir, a bit of stevia nd lemon. It was about the yummiest thing I have consumed in weeks!- Re: YIKES! yeast in my kefir?! loiman

This is a reply to # 618,989I've struggled with candida for more than half my life and only recently (three years ago) discovered that was my problem. A few weeks ago I started downing Kefir, about a half gallon a day. I read about it on one of these posts. I was a little reluctant at first, but I liked it better than my yogurt and it goes down pretty quick.
The first week, I was bloated almost every night, but after that, the bloating went away. I actually started feeling better for the first time since treating my candida with Diflucan a couple of years ago.
I hear a lot of people say that probiotics in a pill form is the way to go, but that never seemed to make a difference for me. The Kefir has. And it actually tastes good. Just thought I'd share that.

This is a reply to # 618,997Hi Michael,
I wanna down a 1/2 gallon of kefir too! I hear so many great things about it. Were do you get your kefir from, how do you make it and so on? I would like to use goat's milk instead of cow's milk and I would also like to try the yogurt.
Can you help a beginner like myself?
Thanks Michael,

I've not gotten to the point where I make my own yet. I buy Helios' Kefir with FOS from a local health food store. I've read a lot of negative posts on this forum about buying "commercial" Kefir, but my experience with this particular brand has been a very positive one. I plan on making my own in the near future, but wanted to give it a test run before investing my time/effort into such a task. I had my doubts at first, suffered some bloating in the beginning. But after about a week, it all went away. Now Kefir serves as my both my breakfast and lunch and I eat a more normal, healthy meal for dinner.
Here are some links I've recently saved in reference to purchasing and making your own:

This site explains how to make it:

This is a reply to # 618,997I've tried all but the black pepper. That's a new one. Look forward to giving it a test.

- commercial kefir not "real"? dianna11

This is a reply to # 618,989How is that? Wouldn't the commercial type be made with kefir grains too? It says the ingredients are: Partially skim organic milk, bacterial culture. And at the bottom "Contains natural active bacterias and yeasts living in symbiosis".
It's fizzy, and it's obviously a milk derivative.
What exactly is the commercial kefir then? - Here's what I bought dianna11

This is the stuff that I bought (plain obviously), it seems that it's made from real kefir grains.
Why isn't this real, or is this just a purist thing?- Re: Here's what I bought bone

For one commercial kefir is fermented from a starter culture.Meaning that some milk is fermented in grains then removed and more milk is added to the milk that was removed.The end product is milk fermented from kefir milk not from kefir grains.Its not just the bacteria but the polysachrides(spelling)and other benefits that the grains give the mixture.The grains are very complex and much is unknown about them.Its like saying that bottled milk is just as good as mothers breast milk.- Re: Here's what I bought dianna11

This is a reply to # 619,065SO I'm sure you had read through the Liberty Kefir website description of how they produce the kefir before you posted your comment. Perhaps you could explain to me how their method differs from yours.
I am very curious as I would like to eventually make my own and you seem very knowledgeable.
