Not to give you a hard time, but I think she meant the actual studies themselves, not websites talking about studies. And preferably studies done in humans in controlled conditions, not epidemiology t...

My last log was a mess, so I've decided to create a new one--hopefully more organized than the last! I want to focus on research, autoimmunity, immunology, cell biology, gut microbiology, anatomy and ...

It is also very scientific which I love because you can't refute/argue science.   This is very contrary to what the scientific method actually is. A good scientist is willing to have their theo...

Holy cow! Water kefir grains multiply WAY faster then milk kefir grains. Anyone try eating them like probiotic capsules?

Sex and TV dinners. These are the best kind of threads! But seriously, I do agree that the science is not fully developed and clear when it comes to treating, as well as understanding, acne, and the...

Water kefir grains should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow Super stoked! I'm going to use the water kefir much more than the dairy kefir for now, just to minimize the chances of inflammation w...

My goto post workout meal is canned wild salmon. It's quick, and easy to get a full can down quickly before you start feeling satiation kicking in, which can happen for foods that you have to chew mor...

Made my own kraut for the first time! I put too much in the mason jar, so when I opened it up, the kraut expanded and was overflowing! A nice sign of fermentation and probiotics So much tastier and m...

Really cool Deja! I'm glad it's working so well for you. Have you tried eating some of the grains like probiotic capsules? I've read of people doing that along with the kefir drink, sort of like a sup...

Deja, How are your kefir grains coming along? Multiply well? How did the gingerale kefir come out?

Have you done an elimination diet without the potentially problematic foods? I had to slowly reintroduce dairy after having it out for maybe 2-3 months or so, because at the start, even ghee seemed to...

Update on me drinking all that water kefir yesterday: Happy to report no problems at all. In fact, so far, the breakout that I thought was associated with the probiotics is quickly healing. No new br...

I decided to get some cream to add in, I figure I can handle the minor amount of casein/whey in a kefir mixture, since there's some digestion/enzymes/kefir-goodness that goes on. I could definitely us...

Not yet. I have so many things going on right now and my system is soooo sensitive that I want to do this probiotic stuff for a little while before I try anything new. That way I can know how things a...

I need to find an affordable source of goat milk to make into kefir. I've come to really love the flavor; it's like a tarty carbonated liquid yogurt. I'll have to get some quality vanilla extract so I...

I really wish i could go at this diet there must be something really wrong with my digestion. Not only am i constantly bloated but i cannot eat fats. Eggs, olive oil, coconut oil etc completely blocks...

For every batch I've made, but I've never tried the retail stuff other than the Redwood Hill stuff. The Redwood Hill Kefir seems to be more of a yogurt than anything else.

Out of curiosity, when everyone makes their kefir, is it effervescent (fizzy?) I've always wondered if the Lifeway stuff I buy in stores truly has active cultures or not. Sometimes it's fizzy, sometim...

I've never heard of coconut aminos and had to go look it up. I'm impressed! As a lover of coconut products I'm surprised I'd never heard of such a thing. I'm interesting in trying it, as I do occasion...

Updates as well! The initial gas/bloating I felt for around 4-5 days has largely subsided. I was eating fermented foods up to this point, so the only new addition was kefir. I'm more consistent now th...

Bah! Redwood Hills stopped selling their goat milk! I wonder if it's only temporary. I guess I can use their kefir + my kefir grains, but it's 2x as expensive to do it this way.

I'm not following this diet but I LOVE kimchi. More than pizza. I have tried repeatedly to find somewhere that would sell it to me in bulk so I could eat it everyday...but alas. Pickles are also one o...

[offtopic] Also, I think many people here would be interested in learning about kimchi! The real stuff!   I don't think so. Tim, Tim, Tim... pizza > kimchi anytime [/offtopic]   I...

Do any of you make sauerkraut? If so, how long do you let it ferment? I found so many different recipes for this stuff on the internet and I'm really clueless as to whether or not I'm doing this right...
