Kefir will replace organisms that we need in our GI tract.
Lifeway here in US has 12 strains...more than yogurt does.
But many bacteria are killed by antibiotic use, and not available in probiotics. Probiotics only have some.
The newest research involves the microbiotome of our GI tracts being the starting point for illness. The PD forum is already posting alot about this. In fact there are new companies making fecal transplants...capsules from volunteers who have the bacteria that have been destroyed by antibiotics or whatever.
This is a recent thread...about thiamine etc but does mention the fecal transplants too.
