Hi ,

Both kombucha and kefir are fermented foods, like yogurt is. It is

easy to make both of them at home. To make kombucha, you need a

kombucha baby or scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). It

looks like a pretty gross pancake. You place the scoby in some tea

and sugar, leave it in a warm place, and some time later (usually

abuot a week) you have kombucha. It tastes like a complicated kind

of cider and I find it delicious. Easy to get most kids to drink it.

Kefir can be make from milk or some people make it from coconut

water. To make kefir you need kefir grains or a powder. If you use

grains in milk they grow and you end up with lots. Kefir, to me,

doesn't taste great. I need to hide it in something, but I make the

effort because I think it can be so healthful and healing.

I'm putting together a file on these two things because I think they

can improve gut health enormously and I'd like to share what I know

with other parents. The file should be in the files section in the

next few days.

I hope that helps.

Kefir has loads of various strains of probiotic. It is available in every supermarket in Germany.........
