Re: Kefir and Candida Albicans

 I make my own milk and water kefirs, with real grains.
But if you read the article, she speaks about the fact that lactose is tranformed to another sugar, galactose (at least in the milk kefir), wich is feeding the candida.

First of all lactose is fermented in to lactic acid.  I have not seen any evidence that it gets converted in to galactose, which is produced by the fermentation of fibers.

And again, the body generates sugar (glucose) from many sources including proteins and fats.  So restricting sugar intake is not going to make much of a difference.

When I drink the milk kefir, my scalp and face starts itching (seb derm flare), but I don't know if it is die-off or if I'm worsening my symptoms... It is good to help me go to the bathroom, since I'm very constipated (IBS), so... I've a lot of acne in my back since drinking kefir also.

Have you tried zinc for your acne?  Zinc also helps to control Candida.
