Kefir helped IBS and yeast overgrowth. I had severe IBS and I couldnt go anywhere in the mornings because I lived near my bathroom. I had yellow stools that burned terribly. I think it was yeast. I cut out all sugar for 2 months and took fungal defense by garden of life. And I pumped the KEFIR. I couldn’t tolerate any probiotics before. I can now. I am thankful I got to the bottom of my problem….Kefir helped me in a big big way! I take 2 cups a day now…..

Mary 11.21.10 at 9:14 pm

Can kefir helps in insomnia and what is the best time to take? Can it also treat freckles? I have to travel for four days once a month, and when I travel I won’t be able to do my normal kefir, how do I keep the kefir grain? Will the kefir grain still grow?

Hi Giselle,
First of all, I love and am grateful for your website. It’s wonderful!

I haven’t seen you focus much on the benefits of kefir to prevent osteoporosis. I started using kefir for this reason having heard from more than one source about it’s usefulness for this. Do you know something that discounts this?

Dr Perricone’s website, among others, has some great info. Here’s a quote: “Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin found in foods such as yogurt and kefir will stimulate new bone growth while preventing further breakdown of existing bone tissue, lactoferrin enhances both the growth and the activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build bone), and reduces the rate of bone cell death by 50 to 70 percent and decreases the development of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone.”
I’d love to hear your comment about this.
Thanks!
