raw milk yogurt vs kefir

[Guest guest]

I've gone through the archives looking for information on the making of raw milk

yogurt but I

can't find what I remember seeing a while back. I do not want to heat my raw

milk to make

the yogurt - so do I really want to make kefir?

I've read through the kefir making instructions, and I have questions about

finding high-

quality kefir grains with the best bacteria possible. If anyone has any tips

I'd really appreciate

it!

What cultures are beneficial to digestion and the intestinal track?

How does this fil mjolk compare to yogurt in that regard? How about

kefir? What cultures can I substitute for yogurt and get the

intestinal benefits?

I have read this too. here are 2 places that say this.

Personally, I eat both of them in order to get the benefits of each.

that kefir

inoculates the gut and yogurt is beneficial, but passes through it.  I don't

know her source of

that information.
