Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Kefir...... What is it?
I read several posts about kefir I know WHO Kefir Sutherland is and while at one time I thought he was very yummy (lol) I have no idea WHAT the kefir you guys are talking about is. I had never heard about it prior to the post in the Road trip w/ food allergies thread Please explain... Steve Knight was right on the money when he said food allergies are caused by Candida overgrowth That's my problem. I cheated big-time last night for my going away party & REALLY REGRET IT now. I didn't even eat that much but I think it was a combination of what I ate & the fact I didn't take any of my meds or eat anything else all day. Well I learned my lesson, I won't be doing that again. At least not until I get this cleared up & out of my system. Then I'll cheat just a little now & then. A girl has to have some fun! ~~ Love is just lust in disguise, and lust fades, so you darn well better be with someone who can stand you (Rob Reiner) Want to hear what else I have to say, My Primal Scream is located at: http://www.livejournal.com/users/myprimalscream/ > I have no idea WHAT the kefir you guys are talking about is.

But it has completely different cultures in it from yogurt. A little bit like comparing bread to beer because they both have yeast in them :) Kefir is a russian variation of it (containing Lactobacillus Caucasus, a beneficial bacteria), in nordic contries they have "Filmj?lk" (containing Lactococcus Lactis), in Japan there is supposedly a variation on it too (containing Bifidobacterium Longum). All the variations are known for its soothing effects on the digestive system and there are other variants of them containing Lactobacillus Acidofilus to further improved help with digestive upsets. There is plenty info on Kefir on http://www.kefir.net/ . Signature----- Patrik 'Putte' Henriksson It also tastes great. Once in a while I take a kefir bottle as my lunch. i > > > I have no idea WHAT the kefir you guys are talking about is.

The yogurt must be made from scratch and incubated at least 24 hours to foster consumption of bad bacteria and preservation of the beneficial ones.

Kefir is about the best probiotic out there. about 20 or more cutlers that are very strong. far more medical benefits contributed for it then yogurt.

The diet is proving effective for autism kids. Here is what is said about kefir for those children who are very vulnerable to yeast.: Catherine tamarro comments: What makes kefir different from yogurt is that kefir is fermented with bacteria and yeast, Elaine Gottschall of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet feels that there is the chance of cross-reactivity between a compromised immune system and yeast from kefir. (Saccharomyces boulardii is illegal on the diet for the same reason.) She has said that kefir is approved after some healing takes place but the yogurt is used until then. As to "Horse Pucky" my response comes from a scientist and biologist who has devoted 47 years to the study of gastric disease. I don't think your claim is definitive and your comment borders on being disrespectful, irreverant and typically flaming usenet. http://breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ SignatureDiva ****** There is no substitute for the right food >As to "Horse Pucky" my response comes from a scientist and biologist >who has devoted 47 years to the study of gastric disease.

I remember checking your diet and it having honey and other things that aggravate candida. any sugar is bad and honey. Kefir has really helped my stomach problems and many others. it helps my dogs allergies too. I never found yogurt cutlers to help.

The use of saccharin is suggested as it has now been cleared of association with cancer. use of fruit can be mimimized. As the gut heals the candida often subsides. Some poeple also take anti fungals. |
