last February because the family was suffering from the flu and a few

of the kids were suffering from yeast/fungal infections. Immediately

the flues stopped. Now 3.5 months later we no longer have no longer

have stuffed noses, huge reduction in yeast problems for the family

carbs. I've noticed with both times I started using kefir that it took

about 3 months for the desires to be noticeably changed. Also, in

general, I have suffered from an extreme sweet tooth and over eating.

Both of these have changed a lot over the last 3 weeks.

>>>>>>>>>>>>Hello Rondi,

I have and still do consume quite a bit of homemade yogurt. I've been

wanting to make kefir but haven't gotten to it. Someone is sending

grains soon as I request them, but I just been bogged down with old

projects and haven't requested. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll

re-energize knowing the kefir may help with this problem. Dennis
