Anyone here drink kefir yogurt? I have kefir grains which I ferment in milk and get a weekly yield of yogurt that I drink out of a bowl after straining the yogurt. It’s packed with probiotics, and helps with my mood. It’s an all round useful elixir to make.

I add Kefir to a lot of dishes (both cooked and uncooked) that call for some dairy component. I actually prefer it to milk in things like pancakes, even though cooking it must kill some/many/all of the probiotics. I was making my own, but I was finding the process a bit more involved than I wanted to deal with, so I just recently started buying pre-made kefir.

I can't say that I've experienced a world-altering impact to my life (wow, no more acne and I've lost 22lbs!) but I do think I've been able to eat dairy products (cheese and yogurt) with far less upset stomach than before. Careful with introducing Kefir if you're looking to try it out - start small. I was adding a tablespoon to my dishes and it made me gassy as heck for the first couple of days.

if i drink a certain brand of kefir before bed i get space dreams 2 out of 3 times, in germany it's called müller milch kefir, good stuff xD

can't do it too often since I don't to well with the sugar content of dairy but it's fun!

Warped in a space battle once, barely missed some shooting turret and deep dove into a beforehand invisible sun wich was made of blue water filled cells, good thing, dreams don't have to make sense!

Thats pretty cool, I wonder what causes it? I wonder if you could do a double blind, have someone fill a cup of müller milch kefir, and another brand for a few nights (secretly your assistant has only used the off brand, do you still get space dreams?)

A few years ago I started making and eating a lot of fermented foods for purely gastronomic reasons, including kefir. I haven't really noticed any obvious changes.

I've been on antibiotics twice in this time and do feel like I get my appetite back more quickly after stopping them now. An antibiotic course used to mean weeks or months of poor appetite, nausea and indigestion now it's like 10 days. But that could be coincidence or something else entirely, who knows.

Do you have a link about this? I would love to experiment with it.
