Re: Getting sicker from kefir, to stannarad

Hi Stannarad,

Just want you to know that i was on the way to having the same thing happen as you. i took the kefir just once, yesterday for the first time. i felt really tired - and then my stomach gurgled all day. then i got weaker for the rest of the day - not stronger.

so i mentally checked in to see what was going on - don't ask me why i assumed that everything that's supposed to be good for EVERYONE would be good for me too. i checked in to the kefir, hoping to get some kind of answer as to whether the kefir is good for me - or not. long story short - its not. and i double checked with someone that i trust very much, that does something akin to muscle testing.... she agreed. Maybe it works like other foods, where only Kaphas or Pittas can tolerate it, i don't know.  Or maybe a different type of kefir would have worked great. this is what i learned from this experience - we are ALL different, and what helps one person does not help everyone. I knew it before, but it has truly sunk in.

i'm not trying to rain on anyone's kefir parade here. i just think it is wise to branch out into doing new things slowly, so that you get a read on whether the body thinks its a good change.

Cheers Stannarad, I hope you get completely past the kefir thing soon. (and me too).  i've been taking bunches and bunches of flora pills today.

Best,
Lisa
