I swore I'd not eat kefir again. I didn't get sick though: lots of burbling and churning but no signs of food poisoning. My hubby ate the same batch and did fine. I guess a number of people have different responses: diarrhea, constipation. I DID get a little constipated too: but considering that before I started kefir I had IBS (going 3-6 times a day) it's difficult to know what constitutes " constipated " . I tried it again a month later, just a little, then skipped a few days. I still got a lot of gas, in the mornings only. My " output " changed color, shape etc. (to a more normal look, I think), and shrunk in size a lot. Over the last few months things have been normalizing to a new " normal " . The fact things changed so drastically convinced me of kefir's power. I don't serve it " raw " to guests. And yes, I've heard similar stories. No one else in my family had any similar reaction though. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just about what is happening with me right now. My kefir is just becoming drinkable, loosing that real sour taste and thickening. I had been drinking the store bought kefir and thought my adjustments days were over, but, not so. I had quite a tummy ache yesterday afternoon.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I didn't have any digestive problems at all, I felt very good right from the start, but I have developed a body odor. I never had to use deodorant, if I washed daily and removed any hair under my arms. But now even right after a bath I can detect a slight odor, I don't know if this is good or not. I am not drinking so much now and it is better.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Ive noticed the same thing. Although to me it seems like a sweetish odour not a bad one. > > Hi everyone, > > I noticed that Heidi said she had some reactions to kefir when she > > first began to use it.
