For those who start a kefir journey out of the blue, be aware that it can take some time to adjust, if you have a particularly delicate digestion. Start with small quantities at a time, and increase day after day. Your guts will slowly adapt and host these new friendly guests as part of their team, but it can take a few days or weeks. Be patient with yourself and kefir will reward you a million times ! 😉
@@lucifer5788 my understanding from Ayurveda is not to add any fruits or veggies with this category of products including Kefir, Yogurt, etc. That collaborations was the un investigated brain stormed product development - the corporate inventions. For constipation drinking warm water helps a lot.

Drink some from a store if you can. Shop bought brands will have 10 - 15 species, but homemade has 40 - 60. This is not professional advice, but I would guess that potentially 10 - 15 new species is easier to adjust to than potentially 40 - 60 new species.

I have been finally paying attention to digestive health, and have grown a liking to Kombucha. Learned about Milk Kefir and first taste I couldn't believe how sour it was. I gave it a few more tries and it really leveled out in taste, so I am now enjoying consuming it. Looking forward to it's benefits!
I make banana milk kefir smoothies daily. My husbands legs have started healing. Normally, if he gets a cut on his legs, you can still see it two years later. Now theyve stated healing after decades of not healing. Pretty impressive stuff.
It's worth mentioning that the store bought version has maximum 10 strains of probiotics instead of the 40-60 tat's found in the (home made) one which was made with caucasian & tibetan kefir grains.
I drink plain kefir every day. It's very filling, so helps avoid over eating. Since the lactose is changed, it is said to be ok for lactose intolerance. I'm not intolerant, as I'm Nordic/German.
I have water Kefir, and make it weekly. My favorite is fermented with water, cane sugar, oranges or apples. My husband has much less ibs issues since drinking it
@@alechardin3004 The flavor also mellows out with time. Not literally, but you get used to the flavor. It tastes fine, but once you acquire the taste, it tastes good.
I shit you not. I've always had a problem with paterized dairy products aside from cheese. Every time I've had paterized milk or yogurt. My throat would get clogged up with flem/mucus and I would have basically spit it out since its hard to swallow it. However once I started drinking raw milk itself and raw kefir. I got none of that flem/mucus in my throat at all. So now I'm just sticking to raw milk or kefir any time I have dairy products
You are correct, when I was a child, I would milk the cows in the country, and boil the whole milk and drink it. When I became an adult, I tried drinking box milk and it give me diarrhea. I drink Kefir now, and I am find.
Well I agree in theory, but I grew up on raw cow and goat dairy, but around age 3 I stopped being able to digest raw Milks. And so do many kids around that age in the centre we worked
I LOVE kefir!! I drink it daily and have seen my digestion very noticeably improved and a soothing effect in my tummy… I always drink plain, never flavored because of sugar, etc. Yep! I love this stuff!!!
Mohammed never saw Kefir grains in his life. Mecca has a super hot climate, being desert. Kefir comes from cold mountainous terrain. Don't spread myths.

There is an incredible amount of confusion about the carb content of actual Kefir!. The milk sugars - lactose - are consumed in the fermentation process so residual carbs can be as low as 1-2 carbs per 8 oz glass Kefir. The govt specified nutrition information label counts the starting milk lactose levels OR the acid byproducts (source of Kefir's tartness) of the fermentation process as 'carbs' - and more than 75% of web sites that I have reviewed use this info and report a Kefir carb content of 8-12 carbs per glass depending on the web site. Only a few sites reference the lactose conversion and report 1-2 carbs only per glass of Kefir. So this info variance is confusing. As a 5 year Keto veteran this is important data for me. What are the facts!!?? Thank you.
Honey should not be mixed with kefir, because its naturally antibiotic action will kill off the good kefir probiotics that you're trying to get into your system.

Everything needs to be in moderation. Remember SIBO Your stomach acid is supposed to kill bacteria before it gets into the small intestine, that's because bacteria for the most part do not belong there. This good bacteria belongs in the large intestine not competing with your food. The hope is, that if your stomach acid is good, maybe some of these good bacteria will survive the acid gauntlet of your stomach and small intestine and actually make it to your large intestine. But if you have acid reflux, you may end up with SIBO, "small intestine bacteria overgrowth" If that's the case try drinking some apple cider vinegar. Acid reflux is normally caused by low stomach acid not closing the esophagus, and that muscle needs high acidity to close. (Don't take an antiacid, that will just make it worse)! I drink 2 tablespoons twice a day with an 8-ounce glass of water. Get ACV with the "mothers".
@@user-smart3 I learned the very hard way that when you have acid reflux you shouldn't take the prescription acid blocker the doctor pushes on you. And what's worse, when you realize things are going south you hear kefir will help. But now you have an entrance into your now unprotected digestive system that is totally open to SIBO at best but any kind of bacteria that happens along, totally the opposite of how it was designed thanks to a medical industry that has a business model of necessary return customers. Had I known this, I would have taken the two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water and made a lifelong nightmare nonexistent.
Using kefir in bread or pizza dough is a waste of kefir. The high oven temperatures would kill the beneficial bacteria. Sourdough bread is not any healthier than commercial yeast bread as the yeast is killed in the oven.

@@smitaprabhu26 -my stomach hurt, it would burn and I would get acid reflux. I was also constipated. I drank close to a glass a day-like a small whiskey type glass filled 3/4 in the morning and at night. It was a slow process. But it helped that I started craving it…not like you would candy, but I would think “oh it’s time for my kefir” and look forward to it in a way. I didn’t have to remind myself after about a month. It really has helped me…slow and steady.
I’m using Goat milk. The grains are not growing as I thought they would. They seem to stop growing. When I drain the milk, there is a creamy texture at the bottom of the jar. The goat milk is not thicker as I thought it would be. I do not have curds in the milk. Something is not right. Can the grains be dormant? Should I order another starter kit and go through the process again? My wife has stomach issues. She recently had a biopsy in the stomach and esophagus. She has inflammation in both areas. We are waiting for the results, she may have cancer. I was recently diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I don’t have high blood pressure, diabetes or any stomach issues. I’m hoping to get treatment this month, it may be December. I need this to work and we will drink Kefir daily using goats milk. Once we can get started we may incorporate Kefir in other recipes. Thank you for your time.

Kefir. Everywhere else in the world it is pronounced ka•fear'. Only ignorant Americans pronounce it key'•fer. American exceptionalism has, again, stripped non American cultural element away and substituted its own.
Store bought kefir only contains about 4 or 5 probiotics where as if you can get hold of your own kefir grains and make your own, you'll have around 70 different strains of probiotics ...whohoo !!
These grains are so unique I'm thinking that the manna from heaven showered down upon Moses' tribe was at one time put into their milk. Modern science can't even create these grains from scratch ! No one can !
Just tried it for the first time. Taste is a bit strange slightly sour and tastes a bit fizzy. Strange taste to get used to but seems like it’s good for you.
@@lucy361000 the feeling of being able to run miles and miles without having to worry about asthma, pollen or that white hot strangled feeling around the throat is wonderful. Kefir everyday for the rest of my life. Just do it. It’s wonderful.
@@soldierforchrist631 might be over the top but half a pint. Unsweetened. It’s a taste I’ve got used to. I also make my own sauerkraut from scratch. A small bowl full every day. Never been healthier.
I discovered Kefir about 6 months ago when needing some plain Kefir for a recipe I wanted to try. Since then I have it on hand at all times. It makes the best "buttermilk" pancake and biscuits. Also, added it to a bread recipe that called for sourdough, not quite the same but still gave the bread a wonderful sour taste and silky texture without adding any butter. I have not tried it any other way and am not into drinking it or even milk, but will trying in future recipes that call for buttermilk.
The word Kefir is derived from the Arabic word خاثر ḵāṯir (Clotted/coagluted, clabbered). Bedouins used to store milk inside bags made out of goat stomach, when they travel they used to have these bags on the camels so it will keep shaking all the time while traveling, the next day the milk will get Clotted, they call it Laban Kathir (Clotted/clabbered milk).
@@Ferdiahayes Some people claim it is derived from the word Kief, which means good feeling when you are on drugs, this is quite a stretch. "Kief (pronounced [keːf, ki(ː)f, kɪf]; from Arabic كيف (kayf) 'pleasure'), sometimes transliterated as keef, also known as cannabis crystals among other names, refers to the resinous trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis infructescences with a mesh screen or sieve." Kefir is derived from the word ḵāṯir makes more sense, especially that the letters ḵ and ṯ are not used by many Indo-European languages therfore they were shifted to K and F (ḵāṯir -> Kafir). Also the word ḵāṯir is still used in Arabic refering to all fermented milk, and the word derived from the root word ḵ-ṯ-r which means Clot. خاثِر [ḵāṯir] {adj.} EN viscous sticky clotted coagulated syrupy thick

But it helped that I started craving it…not like you would candy, but I would think “oh it’s time for my kefir” and look forward to it in a way. I didn’t have to remind myself after about a month. It really has helped me…slow and steady.
I’m using Goat milk. The grains are not growing as I thought they would. They seem to stop growing. When I drain the milk, there is a creamy texture at the bottom of the jar. The goat milk is not thicker as I thought it would be. I do not have curds in the milk. Something is not right. Can the grains be dormant?
Should I order another starter kit and go through the process again?
My wife has stomach issues. She recently had a biopsy in the stomach and esophagus. She has inflammation in both areas. We are waiting for the results, she may have cancer.
I was recently diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I don’t have high blood pressure, diabetes or any stomach issues. I’m hoping to get treatment this month, it may be December.
I need this to work and we will drink Kefir daily using goats milk. Once we can get started we may incorporate Kefir in other recipes.
Thank you for your time.

It's magical
It's pronounced " khu-fear"
drink it after a meal for digestion I just do like a fourth a cup plain Kiefer milk after a meal or half cup.
I just started drinking kefir I really like it. kefir the taste reminds me of buttermilk.
And it helps you sleep at night
In Chile, they call it "yoghurt de pajarito"/ yoghurt of Little birds
In the U.S. birds just eat yogurt with everyone else.
I feel sorry for them.....
Kefir. Everywhere else in the world it is pronounced ka•fear'. Only ignorant Americans pronounce it key'•fer. American exceptionalism has, again, stripped non American cultural element away and substituted its own.
Great video!!' I've been using kefir off and on for about 5 years now. This was still craxy informative
Store bought kefir only contains about 4 or 5 probiotics where as if you can get hold of your own kefir grains and make your own, you'll have around 70 different strains of probiotics ...whohoo !!
add some water and make it salty and use that before a work out, your welcome
do it for years
Right! With Salt and little lemon juice =best drink ever
its actual Kuh-fear. not that it matters
Love kefir always settles tummy upset it's v.filling reduces my hunger so eat less. Normal milk upsets my stomach.
These grains are so unique I'm thinking that the manna from heaven showered down upon Moses' tribe was at one time put into their milk. Modern science can't even create these grains from scratch ! No one can !
Not really surprising that modern science can’t make bacteria from scratch you fool
Penicillin was just as mind-blowing and that's easily explained
🤦🤦🤦
Why do people gotta put religion into this now
Superstitions!
So I am drinking thousand year old bacteria from inside a shepherd's bag,,,I'll just try to unhear that 😉
Make your own. The Kefir in the shop is not the same.
Keefer madness
when heated te bacterias die
I buy plain kefir. Great in a smoothy with fruit.
Kefir+99 bananas so tasty you'll have 0 regurts about becoming a boozer.
Except store bought Kefir is not real Kefir. It’s not even kefir at all.
Just tried it for the first time. Taste is a bit strange slightly sour and tastes a bit fizzy. Strange taste to get used to but seems like it’s good for you.
if it's fizzy that's a strong one
It’s pronounced keh-fear 🤦🏽♂️
Tastes fantastic and I love drinking it every day :)
Same here. Everyday. If feel fantastic. Asthma is effectively gone. No allergies as well.
@@geofflogan1564 Wow congratulations, I had asthma for 15 year. I wish I new about this years ago.
@@lucy361000 the feeling of being able to run miles and miles without having to worry about asthma, pollen or that white hot strangled feeling around the throat is wonderful. Kefir everyday for the rest of my life. Just do it. It’s wonderful.
@@geofflogan1564 How much do you consume per day?
@@soldierforchrist631 might be over the top but half a pint. Unsweetened. It’s a taste I’ve got used to. I also make my own sauerkraut from scratch. A small bowl full every day. Never been healthier.
I will go with Caucasus Mountain’s 🏔 story.
I discovered Kefir about 6 months ago when needing some plain Kefir for a recipe I wanted to try. Since then I have it on hand at all times. It makes the best "buttermilk" pancake and biscuits. Also, added it to a bread recipe that called for sourdough, not quite the same but still gave the bread a wonderful sour taste and silky texture without adding any butter. I have not tried it any other way and am not into drinking it or even milk, but will trying in future recipes that call for buttermilk.
If you heat it, you kill the beneficial bacteria.
Heating kefir kills all the bacteria, just so ya know 😁
I thought heating the kefir kills the bacterium. You should look into it.
Please how can I get this kefir? By the way I live in Algeria
@@welwellwell71 It does. But it can still be used as a yoghurt/buttermilk substitute in baking.
Lasted about 30 seconds before the ridiculous hyper American voice-over became unbearable.
it's pronounced k'feer and not keefur!! So before teaching us , learn this!!!
The word Kefir is derived from the Arabic word خاثر ḵāṯir (Clotted/coagluted, clabbered).
Bedouins used to store milk inside bags made out of goat stomach, when they travel they used to have these bags on the camels so it will keep shaking all the time while traveling, the next day the milk will get Clotted, they call it Laban Kathir (Clotted/clabbered milk).
I read that it came from the Turkish word for "good feeling"
@@Ferdiahayes
Some people claim it is derived from the word Kief, which means good feeling when you are on drugs, this is quite a stretch.
"Kief (pronounced [keːf, ki(ː)f, kɪf]; from Arabic كيف (kayf) 'pleasure'), sometimes transliterated as keef, also known as cannabis crystals among other names, refers to the resinous trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis infructescences with a mesh screen or sieve."
Kefir is derived from the word ḵāṯir makes more sense, especially that the letters ḵ and ṯ are not used by many Indo-European languages therfore they were shifted to K and F (ḵāṯir -> Kafir).
Also the word ḵāṯir is still used in Arabic refering to all fermented milk, and the word derived from the root word ḵ-ṯ-r which means Clot.
خاثِر [ḵāṯir] {adj.}

@@MrAlio84 some people think its kafur from quran 76:5 ?
@@MrAlio84 really interesting information, thanks for sharing this.
i thought Laban is a product brand name
I've been making keifer mashed potatoes .
Background music is so awful!!!!!!!!!
There’s no lactose in cheese!
Kefir does not get its name from "kefiran". Quite the opposite, actually.
Thank you for the video.
Can I put the kefir grains in a cloth with perforations so that I can avoid the trouble of straining it. That is put the grains in a loose pouch and tie a knot, so that grains do not scatter
Of course I will change the cloth every time for hygiene purpose
Very good information but horrible music and video footage!
Cow milk, goat milk , sheep milk are very different chemically. Can’t lump it all together as “diary”.
Kefir vs yogurt.
I see plenty of folks already said it...but seriously, if you are going to make an entire video about something, the least you could do is make sure the reader knows how to pronounce the damned word.
Right on it is pronounced kefir not kefer 🥰
Lol i wasn't expecting a video about kefir
Sallallahu alaihe wasallam
I love kefir 💚
Really?
Won’t cooking kill the bacteria
Yes. Don't heat it, just drink it raw
