Coconut kefir, candida die-off or strep issues?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I have been giving my 4 year old son young coconut kefir (made using BED kefir

starter grains) for 10 days now. He has so far had a runny nose, cough, rash on

his cheeks and hands, 4 days of constipation followed by 5 days (going on 6 now)

of foul-smelling diarrhea. I just read somewhere that some kefirs contain a

strep strain. Can anyone confirm that, and can anyone advise whether they think

these symptoms are candida die-off or whether he could be having a viral

reaction to the strep strain in the kefir? I don't know for sure but I think he

might have a strep issue. If it is a reaction to the strep, is that a bad thing

or a good thing?

Thank you for any advice or information you can give!
