Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi everyoe, I just wanted to second the question of whether we can make coconut kefir without using a commercial starter kit? The kits seem to use acidopholous . . . or was it lactobacilli? Whatever the case, I have tons of it because my son gets loads of probiotics every day. Can I just dump two capsules (or 4 or 6) of the prebiotic along with say some Biotagen (a prebiotic to feed the probiotic) into my green coconut water (bought them this weekend jumping the gun a bit because I don't have starter)? Or will I end up with swill? Thanks everyone, > > > > > > > Hi! I have looked through some old posts, and did not really see an answer > > to my specific question- and then the server stalled.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback, it helps me so much(: Sandy- I think my son has better attention, eyecontact, and his stimming is way down. We take other biomedical/antifungals etc, but this seems to be really adding a much needed increase in beneficial bacteria. He seems less foggy. Also he is pooping daily, and it is more formed. It tastes pretty good, from what I understand most kefir are difficult to drink- very sour. Hope this helps! Judy > > > > Hi!

I mean using the green coconuts, getting out the water and buying a starter, then fermenting it, etc.? I saw how to do it on the body Ecology diet- lengthy but possible. I have since bought a wonderful GFCFSF everything free! premade coconut kefir through a different company, but had to pay $$$ to have it overnited. It is fantastic, and for those in the midwest the shipping is reasonable, it is called Cocokefir.
