Can you use heavy cream to make kefir? And what would that taste like i wonder. Is there enough sugar in cream to support the process?

I personally havent encountered the worm thing. Michael advises to just strain off the worms and use this again.

I have been using and growing kefir milk for almost two months now . It has improved my gastric motility and lessened the gastric acidity brought about by my GERD condition.
About two days ago , i noticed a few fruit flies roaming around my kefir milk despite being covered with a double sided gauze pad. This afternoon i was surprised to see some white live worms on top of the kefir milk. Can i still use this ???

hy, i’ve been making kefir for a month and then decided to pause. i kept the grains in a small amount of milk milk and changed the milk and rinsed them in water everyday. for a week. i’ve decided to continue making kefire after this pause and put them in a large amount of milk (1 liter) milk once again.
they were in the milk for 24 hours and no kefir was made!
have i killed them somehow?

My kefir-making experience has always been a success. But, for a week or so, I’ve had a big amount of whey with curd sediment instead of kefir.
What might be the problem?

my son is a type 1 diabetic. I ordered some dairy kefir grains and water kefir grains and a kombucha scoby but I am having difficulty finding out the carbohydrate content for any of the recipes and such with these things. I want to switch our family to much healthier things but have to be careful with his diabetes. His insulin is based on his carbohydrate amounts. Any ideas or help would be appreciated
