Kefir isn't for those just starting the diet. Elaine said it is a

great food but that you should wait until well:

" From Elaine:

Kefir is a yeast fermentation which produces alcohol. So the yogurt

made from Kefir grains will have a good deal of alcohol.

Furthermore, upon checking, I have found that after a 24 hour

fermentation there is 5% lactose remaining in kefir fermented milk.

Kefir is a wonderful food but I cannot recommend it until the child

is well. "
