Please don’t put Alum in your spice packet, yes, it makes pickles crunchy but it adds high amounts of Aluminum.

I used to have severe reactions to dairy. I started with small amounts of kefir and then worked up to lots of it and then started on the l.reuteri yogurt and I no longer have any reactions to dairy. No guarantees for anyone else but now I tell everyone to give it a try

When I do a 2nd ferment, I add Ceylon cinnamon, baby ear size piece of organic dried mango and a little dash of Donna's Cutting Edge Cultures prebiotic powder. It always turns out thick, creamy and delicious without added sugar. After it 2nd ferments for about 3-4 hours then I blend it with a stick blender for the smooth mouth-feel.

Hubby has SIBO really bad right now. He is getting some relief from L Reuteri super gut yogurt but has reactions from a lot of foods. Do you suggest he add kefir to the regimen?

Can that super sour kombucha be placed in the kombucha hotel?

My husband was a total GI mess until we started making our own kefir about 8 years ago. It was an immediate improvement! Use your husband as your experiment and start him on kefir ASAP. It won't hurt and may do wonders. Then about 1.5 years ago I started also including L. reuteri yogurt and it also helps and he loves the taste.
20:14:03Priscilla
Thank you, Shannon!!! I have saved you encouraging message. I'll let him know what happened with your husband and kefir! Did your husband have SIBO, too?
20:16:23Vita Maziveyi To Chris Johnston(privately)
Hey Chris. Which email address should I use to request the article Donna was talking about?
20:16:53Shannon King
My husband is terrified of all things hospital related so refused to go for testing when he was having lots of gut pain and blood and mucus in his stools. I am a nurse and I could not believe how long he went before he admitted this to me. By pure coincidence, a girlfriend offered me some kefir grains right at this point in time.
