I love my daily glass of kefir. it not only improved my gut problems, but it improved my mood, it cleared my skin, helped with weight loss. that stuff is amazing

I had a bad case of salmonella that wrecked my digestive system to the point of hospitalization. Many antibiotics and a colonoscopy later, I still suffer from bloating and digestive issues. Kefir makes me feel so good after drinking and completely eases my symptoms. I’m going to continue drinking!

I've been drinking kefir daily for about 9 moths now, my wife had a co-worker who gave her some grains to get started, and i do feel very good abdominally.
i used to suffer from vague symptoms of bloating, irregularity and fairly intolerant to lactose. Since drinking kefir regularly i don't have any bloating or discomfort at all, and can eat a lot of dairy products now with no problems at all. Would recommend it to others, theres nothing toxic about it so it won't do any harm to try it.

I legitimately am addicted to this stuff. I usually eat it with raw nuts and chopped pineapple. It makes my stomach so happy.

I make my own. It healed my GERD. I will never be without it. So easy to make, also.

At 76 I suffered from chronic constipation & bleeding due to paralyzing attacks of Parkinsonism Disease caused by toxic chemicals & Canola oil hidden in my food. I am now drinking Kefir for the past 6 months and as long as I drink at least 2 cups a day I don't bleed and my bowels are starting to heal. However; I still bleed if I forget the Kefir. My lawyer is young about 33 & is lactose intolerant so I suggest he get into the habit of Goat's milk yogurt readily available in most stores.

I also want to add for any folks who have chickens that I give my chickens kefir added into cold oats and it CURES sour crop and increases egg production and keeps em healthy and they love it

I have a very short attention span and your presentation of this video was for me a real treat. Usually my eyes glaze over before the end. Thank you.

I’m so glad i discovered kefir! I’m still in the early stages of the journey and had my doubts about drinking fermented milk! But to anyone who is hesitant like I was I have to tell you, take that leap of faith! You won’t regret it! It’s delicious! And as the name kefir suggests, the drink really does make you feel so good 😊

I'm starting to drink more kefir lately and WOW, is it amazing. After drinking it the first day, I was able to go #2 without experiencing any pain or discomfort. And I had been dealing with painful BMs for several days before then.

We are in our 60s.been drinking this for five weeks, brilliant.💙uk

Kefir is a staple food in Russia, when you're broke you drink kefir lol. Who knew it was a superfood.

I drink 1 pint everyday.. Have done for 18 months... Its great....

Helps with my gastroperisis and other digestive issues. I can see why they call it the miracle food. It may take 1-3 days before you feel an effect; that’s what happened to me. I take one cup in am, and one cup in pm. So, a total of only two cups per day. My stomach does feel better. Thank goodness it’s affordable at the grocery store. Less than a dollar per cup. So, less than $60 per month for “miracle” results.

It’s fab … and if you make your own and overferment it, just hang in a cheesecloth for 12-24 hours and you can have, yoghurt, or sour cream or soft spreadable cream cheese and you can use the whey as well for all kinds of things (liquid gold) amazing stuff I love it

Very beneficial and informative, thanks

It’s hard to find whole milk versions. It’s like people are afraid of fat still and want “LoW-fAt” foods. Should call it “less-nutrients” instead.
