I received my first infusion of Remicade at the end of March. This medicine "put out the fire" in my gut. Remicade was miraculous for me. At the end of March, I also bought this kefir cage after watching this video, and I started making homemade kefir. I've made great progress healing my gut! -Thanks for making this very very helpful video Kenny!
Recently diagnosed after months of uncertainty thinking it was cancer with all the blood loss my anxiety was at it worst and it made my UC just horrible thank you for taking the time and helping us 🙏🏼
Hey Aaron, did you make kefir and did your symptoms improve with it? I'm new to this and I was wondering how your body reacted when you first started drinking it. If you can pls give me some insight, thanks.
So glad I found your channel last night. I clicked on one video and was about to give up 30 seconds in but within 5 mins I had projected you on to the TV and was hooked on the science. I'm excited to get going on this.
Thank you so much for posting all this information, I am not very well at the moment but I can now see there is positive hope and a way of repairing my gut so I hope to be healing very soon.
I just want to say thank you for everything you’ve put on this channel, istg it’s quite mindblowing for me. a bit of my story, I was diagnosed with mild-crohns just about 5 months ago, I had no problem in my stool, I pooped normal once a day, solid/sometimes soft stool, the colonoscopy result also no ulcers, just hyperaemia(?), but the abdominal pain for me is very unbearable, my GI doctor told me I have an inflammation on my small intestines, and in those 4 months I was like in literal agony cuz the pain is not going away no matter what I eat, so I asked my GI doctor what should I eat and what I shouldn’t eat, and my doctor just keep telling me I could eat anything and if I eat something that makes me my stomach hurt, then I should stop eating it. Like that’s just makes zero sense for me, and he put me on mesalazine-salofalk granule 3 grams a day for one month, but it’s just like a band-aid, it hurts when the effect of the drugs starting to fade away, and no matter what I eat, the pain will be there. like I felt so angry, frustrated, and very miserable cuz I feel like the drugs is not doing me any justice or they’re doing something but very slow(?) So I decided to do my own research to handle my situation. I asked everyone here and there, ppl telling me not to eat red meat, eat chicken instead, don’t eat this and that, some told me only to rely on the meds, cuz that’s just the only way, which I don’t believe that. I do whatever they said but still having a lot of pain, until I stumble upon someone on tiktok doing scd-diet which basically eliminating a lot of carbs, and that’s when I found out cutting rice which I eat everyday significantly reduced my pain. but it’s still not helping, I do supplements vit d3k2, fish oil, magnesium, zinc, probiotic which quite helping, but still the pain come and goes. after all the research, I found someone who do carnivore diet, animal based diet, and I found your channel. and I realized what have been missing in my dietary is KEFIR, istg it works wonders for me, I start drinking kefir every morning with banana and raw honey as prebiotic, I do still take biogaia probiotic too, and it changes my life entirely, oh my god, my pain literally goes away in 3 days. and my GI doctor lower the doses of mesalazine 🥳, which now I only take 1 gram a day. But I believe the biggest factor is kefir and the animal based diet I follow, cuz I feel increadible after that. eventhough I still need to work on my weight since I lost 10 kg, but at least I’m not in pain anymore 😁 if I have not found your channel I would never put kefir on my dietary, so thank you a lot and maybe I will try some cabbage juice later. oh and red meat absolutely help me, somehow my gut became very calm when I eat red meat. so if someone tell u not to eat red meat pls don’t just take that, try it, if it’s not working then that’s when you need to stay out of it. cuz the meat is working on me along with the kefir. I do acupunture and chiropractic also to work on my nerves since I oftenly get stressed with this disease and it helps! I wish everyone with IBD can find their own journey to heal and can live normal again thank you kenny, keep doing what you do 🔥
God bless you Kenny. we in India use buttermilk which is similar to kafeer. We have stopped wheat altogether and it helps a lot in ulcerative collitis. Substitute of wheat are millets.
Thank you for the inspiration! Unfortunately I haven’t had the will power to keep on trying, hopefully I will be able to start my journey to healing soon.
The little "cage" inside to hold the kefir kernels is so clever! It's such a big job to strain out the kefir "kernels" and to keep everything perfectly clean. I'm going to try a tea buddy thingy and put the kefir solids in there inside the jar. Thanks for showing us.
I know I thought it was absolutely genius too. If the tea buddy is metal, that might cause a detrimental reaction with the fermentation: www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/milk-kefir/choosing-equipment-making-dairy-milk-kefir/#:~:text=Metal.,do%20have%20success%20doing%20so. Hope that helps!
Just my atypical experience: I didn't have uc until I was 47. I suddenly started having joint pain, then uveitis (swollen eye), and then severe ulcerative colitis and anemia. It came out of nowhere. UC typically starts in young people, but mine was very late onset. I often drank beer after work, so I assumed that was the cause. I cut it, but the problem continued. My doctor (in Korea) prescribed mesalazine as an anti-inflammatory for the gut. That helped but flares kept occurring. At one point I was fine. My wife and I went to this fancy 100 dollar buffet and flipped out. I ate a lot of small cakes and rich ice cream for dessert. The next day, bloody blowout. That's when I realized my biggest trigger for flare was simply processed sugar. It's like I'm allergic now. A piece of cake will give me full body joint inflammation and more will cause the uc. So, for me, completely quitting sugar and boosting my gut with kefir got me pretty much back to normal. I think my late-age uc was a symptom of leaky gut caused by processed sugar and alcohol. I still take mesalazine as my gastro prescribes, but compared to the US it is quite easy in Korea. It's only about $40 for 2 months of the oral drug. My doc really pushed using the suppositories at first, and I tried them, but that is a kinda unpleasant way to take medicine^^
thank you kenny for sharing your insights, i was also diagnosed for UC 2 months ago, i was also having bleeding, mucous , Fortunately with the help of your video , i was able to understand about this Disorder clearly, and i tried combining your tips with some other and i was able to completely stop my bleeding within 1 months, i have normal bowel movements 2 times a day, no bleeding, but sill issues with not well formed stool and mucous, i hope to correct that too within coming months and heal myself completely. Thank you again.
Thank you for this video. I wonder where you bought your thing that u put kefir in? Very clever and hassle free please tell me where to get it from. UK
This looks so promising. I just got some kefir grains from a friend across the country. I hear her grains are very hearty. I have a cow's milk intolerance. I've tried raw and store bought cow's milk kefir and both cause stomach upset and excess mucus in my sinuses and throat. So, I'm currently trying goat milk kefir. I can't tell yet if it's working because my stomach is very sensitive after having a misdiagnosed ruptured appendix which led to necrosis in part of my large intestine, which resulted in a cecal resection. And of course, I had multiple rounds of antibiotics plus constant IV antibiotics during my 5 day hospital stay. I am messed up. I also live in an area where the air and water are polluted and i just moved again. We have many new kinds of trees throwing off pollen here. I have constant allergies. For that reason I'm also going to try alternating my goat's milk kefir with coconut and nut milk varieties to see if that at least helps with my rhinitis. Thank you for such an informative video and I'm very glad to hear you've come so far in your healing. The kefir grain cage looks like a great help. I may give it a try.
I just found you. I thank God for that. I think you know what you are doing and what you are talking about!!!! Thank you. By the way, are we allowed to have kefir everyday? My stomach is completely out of wack for the last 60 years. 🤣🤣😏 but I don’t know, something after seeing you gives me faith and confidence! Gracias 🙏. God bless you
Kenny, what quantities of kefir did you drink per day when you where starting with your protocol? Did you drink it with each 2 meals you were having? Thanks a million. Mike
Been making my own kefur and straining it with a strainer for about a year. Never saw this contraption before and after your video just ordered one. Thanks for the tip!
@melissadepillolozano365 Hi. I need some insight can you please let me know if you made homemade kefir and if you did, did you experience any symptoms when first started drinking it? Thanks in advance.
I was just diagnosed with UC two months ago and I’m determined to not be on meds the rest of my life. I found your channel a few days ago and i be already stated to make changes. I still have a lot to watch but do you remember where that Kefir contraption came from? I just went and bought some Kefir but would love to make my own! Thanks for the videos and I’ll leave an update in my journey!
Had to watch this twice cauze I got distracted by your face. Your so handsome! Glad you found a solution for your sickness and and thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world. Greetings from Holland!
Hello am so glad i found ur channel from ulcerative colitis to pancolitis from 8 months.. it was the calprotectin that was higher in numbers still are and the blood in my stools..recent colonoscopy showed pancolitis.. i wanted to ask my doctor does not allow me to consume milk.. can i make my kefir in almond milk, coconut milk or water? Please do reply thankyou
Hi Kenny, would you recommend a diet like the one you explain in your videos for somebody with seborrheic dermatitis? I believe it has something to do with my gut as my symptoms started right after I stopped a long course of antibiotics. Keep up the good work!
Probably. Its undigested plant food that often causes skin problems. Fermenting is a great way to rid some toxins. You can even ferment rice. Make your own yoghurt/ kefir. And meat is going to be your friend to heal your gut lining.
Hey Kenny, I just started your Bootcamp a week ago. You've been an absolute Godsend in my life as I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis about a year now. I was on Mesalamine for a year and could eat pretty much anything I wanted, but last month I noticed that the medicine wasn't working like it used to. I came to the conclusion that I will always have to increase the dosage of my medicine or worse if I continue down this path. I didn't have any hope that I could heal this condition until I stumbled upon one of your videos. Thank you so much for giving people like us hope and being a blessing in our lives. Also, I know that you suggest using raw milk. However, I'm still not comfortable with it quite yet. I'd like to start with just Kefir and normal milk first. Does it matter what milk I use? Could I make Kefir with Almond milk for example?
Appreciate the kind words! You could start with regular milk, doesn't need to be raw. The fermentation process will still break down a significant portion of the lactose and increase the probiotic microorganisms. There are ways to make it with coconut milk and I'd assume almond milk as well. Cultures for health has some info about plant based kefir on their website that might be worth checking out. I'll also be filming a video about a pretty cool probiotic coconut yogurt that has some similar benefits as kefir. Hope that helps!
Hi Kenny, Thank you sharing everything, especially your knowledge. Could you advise where you got that basket from please. Was it in a kit? Seems so simple but cant find it anywhere. I'm in Australia. Thanks 🦋
If you're still looking for an answer, this has been my experience: the short answer is no - it is not necessary. It is difficult for me to find raw milk in my area. I would be better off looking for and then finding big foot at this point. What I do is use a really good organic whole milk that I just buy at my local store. Pasteurized is fine to use but make sure the milk is NOT ULTRA pasteurized. Most milks will say if it's ultra pasteurized, if it doesn't say ultra then you're probably good to go. Raw milk is the golden standard, but my recommendation is the next best thing if you can't get it and my kefir turns out quite nicely with it. And it's helped me improve dramatically!
@@kyle4094 intresting. Glad you're doing good! I also heard that raw milk could potentially have some bacteria or growth hormones that might not be as good for humans?
There are some good alternatives to milk kefir. Some pretty good plant based yogurts that can be made. Will be making a video about a probiotic coconut yogurt that is similar to kefir. You can also make coconut kefir!
Great video! Did you start off drinking large amounts of kefir or start small and build up? Pretty sure I have SIBO, I get brain fog when I drink Kefir. Do you have any idea why?
I started with and maintained about 10-20 oz per day in combination with about a cup of fermented vegetables per day. I think it's probably better to start lower than that since I was already in a pretty good place in regards to symptoms. I'm not sure exactly how kefir would affect SIBO. That's one of the next areas of research I'll be diving into. At this point, I think the prudent thing would be to get tested for SIBO, find out if you have it, then deal with that first before adding in probiotics and kefir. Kefir may have a beneficial effect on SIBO, but as of now, I don't know that so I can't give you a definitive answer on what to do there. If you don't have SIBO, it's possible that you're experiencing the herxheimer reaction as a result of the kefir and that may be why you have brain fog (www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbiology/herxheimer-reaction#:~:text=The%20Jarisch%E2%80%93Herxheimer%20reaction%20is%20the%20abrupt%20onset%20of%20fever,et%20al.%2C%201994). I'd get tested for SIBO so that you can either deal with it or rule that out.
hi Kenny! congratulations for winning the war against UC. Would you please help us find a good source to get Kiefer grains. the ones I got from the health store never grow at all. I wasn't able to activate them despite carefully following the process of activation.
Thank you so much for helping us fellow uc suffers. I started making my own kefir a week ago, the first days my stomach reacted well. I then let it ferment for 48 hours and my stomach started hurting, bloated and the uc started :( I tried to read about it and some people says it’s die off and that it’s a good thing. Actually I’m a little scared that it will make me feel worse. I also read that your body have to get used to it, little by little. So I will try to start slow now. What is your opinion? Did you have any die off in the beginning and do you believe in die off? I’m not lactose intolerant or allergic to milk. Hope you will answer me 🙏🏻
Hi, can you please let me know how your body reacted after starting kefir. I drank about 1/4 of a cup for 2 days and on the morning of the 3rd day I noticed mucus. I had been having good solid formed poops but wanted to increase my probiotic intake. So I'm not sure if I made things worse for myself. Can you give me some I sight on the symptoms, do things get better over time? Did you continue drinking kefir?
How do you put a thumbs down to someone sharing an Amazing SUCCESSFUL Life Journey!? The information he is sharing is very informative. Thanks for your shared knowledge of your journeys!
Question: What's the "shelf life" (aka expiry date) of the final Kefir after 48hrs of fermentation? Also do you keep it refrigerated or leave it on the table?
I keep mine refrigerated. Cultures for health says that milk kefir can last for up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge: www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/milk-kefir/milk-kefir-frequently-asked-questions-faq/#:~:text=At%20room%20temperature%20(68%C2%B0,or%20longer%20(like%20ice%20cream). I always drink mine within a week so I haven't personally tested to see how long it lasts. Hope that helps!
Hi Kenny. Glad your well and in remission still. Can I ask when you had your Calprotectin markers taken were they below 250? It seems people in remission from UC still have high markers of imflammation inside the gut and I'm wondering if your diet is keeping them down?
Hello, after the 5 days of reactivating the grains, should the grains then be multiplying and enlarging, when switching to 4 cups …. ? How long does it take before you notice an increase in grains ? Thanks !! ; )
Thanks so much for your videos and sharing your story. Gives a lot of us hope. Was wondering when you added the kefir did it increase some symptoms like bloating at the beginning and then stopped after a while, if so, after how long did those symptoms subside? Thanks in advance!
@anacamargo3935 hi, I was wondering if you made homemade kefir, you mentioned getting symptoms of bloating. Did you get any other symptoms? And do you drink kefir now? Thanks
Thank you! Yes, I have. I fermented kefir between 24-36 hours for a long time until I called the dairy I originally got my kefir from. I asked them how they made their kefir and they told me they allowed it to ferment for 48 hours, so I decided to start doing it that way.
What do you think about using store-bought kefir? I've been buying unsweetened, organic, grass-fed kefir from the grocery store for my kids for years (I've never liked drinking it myself) and I'm wondering if you think it's good enough to help the healing process. I also have a child with severe milk allergy, and the thought of preparing kefir in our home is a bit stressful. But, as a mom with kids, I really just want to get well and stay well! What about coconut milk kefir? I've been thinking about making coconut milk yogurt at home.
I'm definitely not a doctor, so please don't take this as medical advice. I encourage you to consult with your doctor before acting on anything so that you don't accidentally overlook something. That being said, I personally think the store bought kefir will be a fine substitute as long as it's high quality like the kind you mentioned. My preference is for it to be made at home, but in your specific case I see how that would be problematic. Coconut milk kefir can also be a good alternative. Hope that helps!
I love your videos Kenny! Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable content! Can I ask please with how much kefir per day and in one sitting do you started to avoid die off reaction? And how much do you drink now? If you don’t mind please share the link from the fermenter. Thank you very much and all the best wishes
Really appreciate the kind words, thank you! Here is the link to the kefir fermenter: amzn.to/3mSK0Q2. I personally think the best way to go through a milder die off reaction is to start low and go slow. If I were doing it over again, I would start with 100 mL per day for 1 week. If I saw an increase in symptoms as a result of the die off reaction, I would either hold the dose of kefir steady for 1-3 days and see if the symptoms decreased/normalized. If they didn't decrease/normalize, then I would drop the dose of kefir or stop the kefir altogether until they did. On the flip side, If the symptoms normalize after a few days, I would increase the dose by 100 mL every week until I was up to about 800 mL like the IBD patients in the study were given. Always err on the side of caution! If you see an increase in symptoms and need medical attention, go get it. I always recommend consulting and listening to your doctor before you make dietary changes. Hope that helps.
Kenny Honnas hey Kenny, thank you very much for taking your time and answering my questions! I really appreciate this. Like I said, I love your content and your videos. Please make more of it, they are really helpful. You are a big inspiration and I’m looking forward to heal like you did! Thank you very much
@helmutkrusemann9194 Hi, can you give me some insight on how you did when you started drinking kefir, how much did you start with and did you experience any symptoms? Did it help or make things worse? Thanks
I've been drinking Lifeway kefir ever since seeing one of his videos a month ago and I do feel like it calms my gut down quite a bit. That said I think I'm going to start making my own to see if it's even better.

This was very helpful. I loved all the scientific evidence to support your claims!
I'm so happy for him
Been making my own kefur and straining it with a strainer for about a year. Never saw this contraption before and after your video just ordered one. Thanks for the tip!
Where did you order the jar?
Can’t wait man!
Thank you so much for this! I am working on my own health by incorporating probiotics.
You're very welcome! Wishing you all the best.
@melissadepillolozano365 Hi. I need some insight can you please let me know if you made homemade kefir and if you did, did you experience any symptoms when first started drinking it? Thanks in advance.
Thank you friend.
You are truly awesome man. I always try to shout your videos out in forums.
Thanks, man. I really appreciate the kind words and the shout outs. Hope you're doing well 👊🏻
@@team_honnas Doing a bit rough. Just ordered some water kefir grains from cultures for health as I don't tolerate dairy very well.
What if i only have access to pasteurised milk?
Thank you young man 🇺🇸🙏🏻
Great info. Thanks Kenny.
You bet! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I was just diagnosed with UC two months ago and I’m determined to not be on meds the rest of my life. I found your channel a few days ago and i be already stated to make changes. I still have a lot to watch but do you remember where that Kefir contraption came from? I just went and bought some Kefir but would love to make my own! Thanks for the videos and I’ll leave an update in my journey!
How are things going in your journey? Did kefir help, did you get any symptoms when you first started?
You are a good man ❤️
I was wondering when you'd make another video keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family 👉✝
Thank you! God bless you and your family as well.
Had to watch this twice cauze I got distracted by your face. Your so handsome! Glad you found a solution for your sickness and and thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world.
Greetings from Holland!
Hahhah wat is dat voor opmerking🤣🤣🤣
Hello am so glad i found ur channel from ulcerative colitis to pancolitis from 8 months.. it was the calprotectin that was higher in numbers still are and the blood in my stools..recent colonoscopy showed pancolitis.. i wanted to ask my doctor does not allow me to consume milk.. can i make my kefir in almond milk, coconut milk or water? Please do reply thankyou
Hi Kenny, would you recommend a diet like the one you explain in your videos for somebody with seborrheic dermatitis? I believe it has something to do with my gut as my symptoms started right after I stopped a long course of antibiotics. Keep up the good work!
Probably. Its undigested plant food that often causes skin problems. Fermenting is a great way to rid some toxins. You can even ferment rice. Make your own yoghurt/ kefir. And meat is going to be your friend to heal your gut lining.
Hey Kenny, I just started your Bootcamp a week ago. You've been an absolute Godsend in my life as I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis about a year now. I was on Mesalamine for a year and could eat pretty much anything I wanted, but last month I noticed that the medicine wasn't working like it used to. I came to the conclusion that I will always have to increase the dosage of my medicine or worse if I continue down this path. I didn't have any hope that I could heal this condition until I stumbled upon one of your videos. Thank you so much for giving people like us hope and being a blessing in our lives. Also, I know that you suggest using raw milk. However, I'm still not comfortable with it quite yet. I'd like to start with just Kefir and normal milk first. Does it matter what milk I use? Could I make Kefir with Almond milk for example?
Appreciate the kind words! You could start with regular milk, doesn't need to be raw. The fermentation process will still break down a significant portion of the lactose and increase the probiotic microorganisms. There are ways to make it with coconut milk and I'd assume almond milk as well. Cultures for health has some info about plant based kefir on their website that might be worth checking out. I'll also be filming a video about a pretty cool probiotic coconut yogurt that has some similar benefits as kefir. Hope that helps!
@@team_honnas Awesome! Thanks for the response and great information.
@@team_honnas hello. I am from Pakistan. I have colitis. Mucus in stool. Too much weight lose in one month. I m really upset. What diet I have?
@@team_honnas avocado not available in pakistan, please suggest me. And send proper diet I have used🙏

Where can i buy the convenient ingenious fermenter?
How long does these grains last for before you need to use new grains
Thank you!
Love the studies
Thanks for sharing. Would you please share the link where to get the lip with the filter?
Thanks for sharing! Is it safe to drink kefir long term?
Thank you!
Hi Kenny, thanks for the valuble information. I would like to know, please how many times is it possibel to use the kefir grains? Thanks. Zeppe.
Hi Kenny,
Thank you sharing everything, especially your knowledge. Could you advise where you got that basket from please. Was it in a kit? Seems so simple but cant find it anywhere. I'm in Australia. Thanks 🦋
Another banger 🔥
Thanks, man! Let's get in touch soon.
Hey kenny! Is it nessecary for the milk to be raw and unpasteurised?
If you're still looking for an answer, this has been my experience: the short answer is no - it is not necessary. It is difficult for me to find raw milk in my area. I would be better off looking for and then finding big foot at this point. What I do is use a really good organic whole milk that I just buy at my local store. Pasteurized is fine to use but make sure the milk is NOT ULTRA pasteurized. Most milks will say if it's ultra pasteurized, if it doesn't say ultra then you're probably good to go. Raw milk is the golden standard, but my recommendation is the next best thing if you can't get it and my kefir turns out quite nicely with it. And it's helped me improve dramatically!
@@kyle4094 intresting. Glad you're doing good! I also heard that raw milk could potentially have some bacteria or growth hormones that might not be as good for humans?
where did you buy this jar
Hey Kenny: Where can i find a fermentation vessel like the one displayed in the video?. Really cool.
Kefir definitly works!
Another great video Kenny
Thank you! Hope you're doing well.
Hi, question.. What if your lactose intolerant?
There are some good alternatives to milk kefir. Some pretty good plant based yogurts that can be made. Will be making a video about a probiotic coconut yogurt that is similar to kefir. You can also make coconut kefir!
There is also water kefir that you could try or kombucha.
Hey Kenny! Can you link where you bought that jar?
Thank you. What kind of milk do you suggest, while milk? 2% fat milk?.
Thanks
lots of thanks from india for your incredible videos
Thanks for watching!
@@team_honnas bro... Can yogurt made from pasturized milk is fine??
Great video! Did you start off drinking large amounts of kefir or start small and build up? Pretty sure I have SIBO, I get brain fog when I drink Kefir. Do you have any idea why?
I started with and maintained about 10-20 oz per day in combination with about a cup of fermented vegetables per day. I think it's probably better to start lower than that since I was already in a pretty good place in regards to symptoms. I'm not sure exactly how kefir would affect SIBO. That's one of the next areas of research I'll be diving into. At this point, I think the prudent thing would be to get tested for SIBO, find out if you have it, then deal with that first before adding in probiotics and kefir. Kefir may have a beneficial effect on SIBO, but as of now, I don't know that so I can't give you a definitive answer on what to do there. If you don't have SIBO, it's possible that you're experiencing the herxheimer reaction as a result of the kefir and that may be why you have brain fog (www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbiology/herxheimer-reaction#:~:text=The%20Jarisch%E2%80%93Herxheimer%20reaction%20is%20the%20abrupt%20onset%20of%20fever,et%20al.%2C%201994). I'd get tested for SIBO so that you can either deal with it or rule that out.
Thanks so much for your thorough comment! Bless you brother!
It's can be die-off symptoms.
Where can I buy the little gadget so I don’t have to strain the kiefer
Thank you❤
hi Kenny! congratulations for winning the war against UC. Would you please help us find a good source to get Kiefer grains. the ones I got from the health store never grow at all. I wasn't able to activate them despite carefully following the process of activation.
Where can we get the lid and the little container ?
Great video. Can you please make a video of what kind of milk to use to make kefir and challenges, if any? Thank you.
How much kefir do you drink in a day now and while you were healing ?
I'd love that kefir grain vessel. But they are like $20 on amazon. Maybe I can make my own?
where did you get the container?
Thank you so much regards jase
Thank you.
Really like your cups where can I get them ?
Thanks for this highly informative video. Does it matter what milk you use?
Thank you so much for helping us fellow uc suffers. I started making my own kefir a week ago, the first days my stomach reacted well. I then let it ferment for 48 hours and my stomach started hurting, bloated and the uc started :( I tried to read about it and some people says it’s die off and that it’s a good thing. Actually I’m a little scared that it will make me feel worse. I also read that your body have to get used to it, little by little. So I will try to start slow now. What is your opinion? Did you have any die off in the beginning and do you believe in die off? I’m not lactose intolerant or allergic to milk. Hope you will answer me 🙏🏻
How is it now ? Have u adjusted to kefir.
Hi, can you please let me know how your body reacted after starting kefir. I drank about 1/4 of a cup for 2 days and on the morning of the 3rd day I noticed mucus. I had been having good solid formed poops but wanted to increase my probiotic intake. So I'm not sure if I made things worse for myself. Can you give me some I sight on the symptoms, do things get better over time? Did you continue drinking kefir?
Did u mention you can make Kiefer with plant base milk , like almond milk?
How do you put a thumbs down to someone sharing an Amazing SUCCESSFUL Life Journey!? The information he is sharing is very informative. Thanks for your shared knowledge of your journeys!
Question: What's the "shelf life" (aka expiry date) of the final Kefir after 48hrs of fermentation? Also do you keep it refrigerated or leave it on the table?
I keep mine refrigerated. Cultures for health says that milk kefir can last for up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge:
www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/milk-kefir/milk-kefir-frequently-asked-questions-faq/#:~:text=At%20room%20temperature%20(68%C2%B0,or%20longer%20(like%20ice%20cream).
I always drink mine within a week so I haven't personally tested to see how long it lasts. Hope that helps!
You can freeze the Kefir, when needed, you can put into the fridge to defrost for a few days.
Hi Kenny. Glad your well and in remission still. Can I ask when you had your Calprotectin markers taken were they below 250? It seems people in remission from UC still have high markers of imflammation inside the gut and I'm wondering if your diet is keeping them down?
Thank you!!! You are an angel!!
Hello, after the 5 days of reactivating the grains, should the grains then be multiplying and enlarging, when switching to 4 cups …. ? How long does it take before you notice an increase in grains ? Thanks !! ; )
Thanks so much for your videos and sharing your story. Gives a lot of us hope. Was wondering when you added the kefir did it increase some symptoms like bloating at the beginning and then stopped after a while, if so, after how long did those symptoms subside? Thanks in advance!
@anacamargo3935 hi, I was wondering if you made homemade kefir, you mentioned getting symptoms of bloating. Did you get any other symptoms? And do you drink kefir now? Thanks
Hi Kenny, what kind of milk do you use to make kefir?
One of the first few people to watch! Hi Kenny, have you ever ferment kefir for LESS than 48 hours just once?
Thank you! Yes, I have. I fermented kefir between 24-36 hours for a long time until I called the dairy I originally got my kefir from. I asked them how they made their kefir and they told me they allowed it to ferment for 48 hours, so I decided to start doing it that way.
@@team_honnas did you notice less positive benefits with the shorter fermentation?
What do you think about using store-bought kefir? I've been buying unsweetened, organic, grass-fed kefir from the grocery store for my kids for years (I've never liked drinking it myself) and I'm wondering if you think it's good enough to help the healing process. I also have a child with severe milk allergy, and the thought of preparing kefir in our home is a bit stressful. But, as a mom with kids, I really just want to get well and stay well! What about coconut milk kefir? I've been thinking about making coconut milk yogurt at home.
I'm definitely not a doctor, so please don't take this as medical advice. I encourage you to consult with your doctor before acting on anything so that you don't accidentally overlook something. That being said, I personally think the store bought kefir will be a fine substitute as long as it's high quality like the kind you mentioned. My preference is for it to be made at home, but in your specific case I see how that would be problematic. Coconut milk kefir can also be a good alternative. Hope that helps!
@@team_honnas Yes, thanks so much for your thoughtful reply, and for your channel. Such a blessing!
Where can I get a keifer holder that you used?
I love your videos Kenny! Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable content! Can I ask please with how much kefir per day and in one sitting do you started to avoid die off reaction? And how much do you drink now? If you don’t mind please share the link from the fermenter. Thank you very much and all the best wishes
Really appreciate the kind words, thank you! Here is the link to the kefir fermenter: amzn.to/3mSK0Q2. I personally think the best way to go through a milder die off reaction is to start low and go slow. If I were doing it over again, I would start with 100 mL per day for 1 week. If I saw an increase in symptoms as a result of the die off reaction, I would either hold the dose of kefir steady for 1-3 days and see if the symptoms decreased/normalized. If they didn't decrease/normalize, then I would drop the dose of kefir or stop the kefir altogether until they did. On the flip side, If the symptoms normalize after a few days, I would increase the dose by 100 mL every week until I was up to about 800 mL like the IBD patients in the study were given. Always err on the side of caution! If you see an increase in symptoms and need medical attention, go get it. I always recommend consulting and listening to your doctor before you make dietary changes. Hope that helps.
Also, I'd split the daily total dosage of kefir evenly between the number of meals you consume. I like to drink my kefir with meals.
Kenny Honnas hey Kenny, thank you very much for taking your time and answering my questions! I really appreciate this. Like I said, I love your content and your videos. Please make more of it, they are really helpful. You are a big inspiration and I’m looking forward to heal like you did! Thank you very much
Will definitely be making more content in the near future!
@helmutkrusemann9194 Hi, can you give me some insight on how you did when you started drinking kefir, how much did you start with and did you experience any symptoms? Did it help or make things worse? Thanks
Can you put the grains in coconut milk ??
Do you have to consume that much of milk kefir everyday?
Would kefir from the supermarket work well?
(Brand ex: Lifeway)
Homemade is a lot of times more powerful.
I've been drinking Lifeway kefir ever since seeing one of his videos a month ago and I do feel like it calms my gut down quite a bit. That said I think I'm going to start making my own to see if it's even better.
