My MIL had chronic heartburn for over 40 years. She had tried everything from

pharma drugs to ACV and other natural remedies.

Around 3/1/08, she started to drink fresh homemade kefir every day. Ever since

she started, she has not had a stitch of heartburn. Normally she would get it

3-4 times a week. Now, NOTHING.

She had not done anything different in her diet or regimen other than adding the

kefir.

Interestingly enough, (commercial) yogurt is one of the many offending foods

that actually causes her heartburn. But the kefir helps her.

As a followup, my MIL " tested " the kefir-heartburn-remedy by loading up on some

foods that ALWAYS cause her immediate heartburn: grapefruits and fresh-made

lemonade. NOT A TRACE OF HEARTBURN. She considers this an absolute miracle after

40 years of struggling to find a solution.

One up for whole, natural foods!!
