Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Judy, I don't have an answer, but I was just going to order some of the coco kefir. Can you share your experience? I have always given probiotics in capsule form.....did you notice a difference when you gave the coco kefir? Thanks, Sandy > > Hi! I have looked through some old posts, and did not really see an answer to my specific question- and then the server stalled. Anyway, does anyone make their own coconut kefir? 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. Developed by parents of an autistic girl, and although this is a fantastic product it is expensive for me in VA, and wanted to try and make my own. Anyone tried to make their own Coconut Kefir? I wanted help with a Gluten, Casein, Soy free version. Thanks so much(: > Love, > Judy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 The cocunut is not from a can. Boil water and add to ground coconut or mix in a blender. Then strain and you have coconut. You can then use kefir starter. Ginger Coconut Kefir 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 Hello Judy! Yes, we make our coconut kefir at home and it's actually really easy! I followed the directions on the BodyEcologyDiet website along with some special instructions from our DAN doctor It's this easy to make it: 1. Buy a " new coconut " , which means the outside brown part has been chopped off, and it's usually wrapped in cellophane when you buy it at the store. White on outside means more fresh, brown/pink means getting old. 2. Slice off maybe 1/2 and inch of the bottom of coconut with a serated knife until you find the little hole or knot at the bottom (easy instructions and photos on the BodyEcologyDiet website). 3. Poke something into the hole to open it up a little, then pour all of the coconut water into a jar, running through a strainer to remove any chunks. 4. Empty a capsule of a high-powered probiotic (like VSL#3) into the jar, and add some juice or a teaspoon of honey which provides sugar/food for the probiotics. 5. Cover and let sit/ferment on the counter for 36 hours, then it's ready to drink! Keep refrigerated after fermenting it and it will last for a few weeks. The whole process takes less than two minutes once you're comfortable with it. Very easy! We traveled to Minnesota a few months ago and purchased the CocoKefir product there at a specialty store. That was great too, but I find the homemade recipe to be so simple that I prefer it. I hope that is helpful! -Angie > > Hi!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi ,I am making my own coconut kefir from young green coconut. it is easy to make it and much cheaper. I got the starter kit from Bodyecology and I been using it with both of my kids. They got used to it.I live in Florida so i have easy access to young green coconut, but you can get coconut water from whole foods and use that water, or just ask your grocer to order you young green coconut. If you have any question feel free to email me. good luck Tunde Hi! I have looked through some old posts, and did not really see an answer to my specific question- and then the server stalled.
