Wow, lucky you to have raw goats milk! I have the same problem with the alcohol in the kefir if I let it go too long. I discovered this the hard way over the weekend. What I do is let the milk sit about 24 hours with the grains, then I strain out the grains. I then let the kefir "finish off", consuming the rest of the lactose at room temperature for another day. I've figured out that for the winter months, 4 days total is the maximum I can let it go at room temperature. I'm wondering if you can let your kefir sit less time so you don't get the increased alcohol production in the warm months? I've sometimes noticed my kefir done in as little as 12 hours. Or, you could just make your kefir in the frig. It might take a little longer, but you would have less of a chance of it producing a lot of alcohol. Let us know if you try it! Claire

I decided to add kefir because the Ultra Flora only has two organisms. Kefir has something like 40 beneficial organisms. That's why I think yogurt is limited too, and Koz's experience seems to verify that. I figure that I need more than just 2 probiotic organisms for my sensitive gut . I'm going for the "more the merrier" approach! Claire

We were using Klaires: http://www.klaire.com/probiotics_cat.htm the Ther-biotic Complete with 12 strains. Unfortunately, it was a little strong for Tom (did I mention a seizure from die-off?) so we're using a lesser strength probiotic and building our way up to it. I think you have to get this from a health-care practitioner type, but I'm not sure. We got it from Tom's DAN! doctor.

I found this particularly interesting since I have persistent high levels of IgE >269 Ku/L, nl <114 Ku/L Will have to see if I can make some coconut kefir. Thanks for the information, Nancy. Marilyn |
