What do you think about kefir?
What do I think? I think that you can't pronounce it correctly.
@@Darktolight777 you’re very sad and I’m not a Muslim either but you’re an idiot through and through 🤬🤬

I drink it 1 to 3 times it a week

For those who start a kefir journey out of the blue, be aware that it can take some time to adjust, if you have a particularly delicate digestion. Start with small quantities at a time, and increase day after day. Your guts will slowly adapt and host these new friendly guests as part of their team, but it can take a few days or weeks. Be patient with yourself and kefir will reward you a million times ! 😉
Yo. I really should have seen this sooner I drank half a gallon in 2 days. (Tasted so fuckin good)... now I'm in pain I ligit feel constipated
This is true . Iam hoping to try it again soon
@@lucifer5788 woops seems i may have made the same mistake
@@lucifer5788 my understanding from Ayurveda is not to add any fruits or veggies with this category of products including Kefir, Yogurt, etc.
That collaborations was the un investigated brain stormed product development - the corporate inventions.
For constipation drinking warm water helps a lot.
I use Metamucil / originally psyllium husk mixed in water twice a day, like a liquid concoction.
{Warning - please do not eat dry husk in a spoon, it will choke at the throat soon as it finds humidity in throat. Drinking water over will not help.}
(BTW, it’s useful when dysentery condition too).
Wait for few days, and restart Kefir in small quantities.
Drink some from a store if you can. Shop bought brands will have 10 - 15 species, but homemade has 40 - 60. This is not professional advice, but I would guess that potentially 10 - 15 new species is easier to adjust to than potentially 40 - 60 new species.
Whenever I drink Kefir, I get more energy and my anxiety lowers. It’s like a mood booster.
it's not because of same new age stupid magic it's because it tastes amazing
That's because our mood and stomach share a connection
I have the same feeling with my Activia probiotics. 2 hours of mood boosting!
Cleared up all of my stomach issues in about 2 weeks. Worth drinking daily
I just ordered some Raw kefir. Praying it heals my gut isuss. How much did you drink a day?
@@nancygatto4963 i drink about a 1-2 cups a day. you can go to aldis/walmart or , a global food store that should have several kinds if you’re in the us
is 250ml per day good? Yday I was tired and i drank a whole litre and 0 digestive issues omg. if that was milk i would be shitting myself
@@ronin7590 I LOVE U SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS IM SO SERIOUS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
@@ronin7590 it's recommended no more than 400ml a day
My parents are of Polish decent, and this was a regular drink in our house. I grew up on this stuff. I love the sour taste!
I make banana milk kefir smoothies daily. My husbands legs have started healing. Normally, if he gets a cut on his legs, you can still see it two years later. Now theyve stated healing after decades of not healing. Pretty impressive stuff.
It's worth mentioning that the store bought version has maximum 10 strains of probiotics instead of the 40-60 tat's found in the (home made) one which was made with caucasian & tibetan kefir grains.
There is tibetan kefir? 😅
@@JN-wr9he this is in this video... right at the beginning 😅
I drink plain kefir every day. It's very filling, so helps avoid over eating. Since the lactose is changed, it is said to be ok for lactose intolerance. I'm not intolerant, as I'm Nordic/German.
Yes, I noticed that too!
I think most european, middle eastern, and northern Indians are tolerant of lactose.
@@josie3221 yes because the old world had dairy products. The new world didn’t.
Yeah I noticed it doesn’t give me issues like regular milk
I'm German too and I've never had a problem with dairy
I have been finally paying attention to digestive health, and have grown a liking to Kombucha. Learned about Milk Kefir and first taste I couldn't believe how sour it was. I gave it a few more tries and it really leveled out in taste, so I am now enjoying consuming it. Looking forward to it's benefits!
Absolutely completely right it takes a couple times to acquire the taste but now I absolutely love goat Kiefer it’s amazing😍😍
Mix keifer milk with naked juice. Makes the taste and consistency of a fruit smoothie very delicious!
@@mayday8443 That is a really good idea, I will try that. Thanks for the idea
There are a lot of flavors which are easier to drink. My favourite is peach
Excessive sourness in kefir could be due to over fermentation.
Thanks for your video. We love kefir-haven’t been taking it long enough to see the benefits yet.
It's the best thing in my life. Improved my Immunity 1000%😊
I have water Kefir, and make it weekly. My favorite is fermented with water, cane sugar, oranges or apples. My husband has much less ibs issues since drinking it
What’s your recipe for water kefir? Thank you.
After drinking kefir daily for a week, i'm noticing how supplements that I've been taking for a long time start kicking harder now
What does it taste like?
@@joshcampell8492 It tastes like sour yogurt. But it’s kinda good
Felt the same. Its due to improved digestion and gut health
@@alechardin3004 The flavor also mellows out with time. Not literally, but you get used to the flavor. It tastes fine, but once you acquire the taste, it tastes good.
Whey protein ?
Kefir is a staple in eastern europe and baltics- there is nothing more i love❤️
I just found out about kefir. Im hooked!
It took about 3 months-but I made my own and drank it everyday, healed my stomach. I’m still drinking it everyday. No more burning and hurting. I know my body needs it because I crave it now. Everything in my digestive system became regular.
Thank you for sharing. Do you make your own kefir?
@@robertosalinas2742 -yes! I ordered grains through Amazon if you can believe it. I followed instructions on the card, bought organic whole milk, glass jars, never used metal strainers or spoons, and now I have probably $200 worth of grains separated into 2 different jars. My kefir is so thick and creamy. It’s changed my health.
If you don't mind can you tell me what your digestive issues were? Been on kefir for 2 weeks now, still waiting for sizable changes. How much did u drink per day?
@@smitaprabhu26 -my stomach hurt, it would burn and I would get acid reflux. I was also constipated. I drank close to a glass a day-like a small whiskey type glass filled 3/4 in the morning and at night. It was a slow process. But it helped that I started craving it…not like you would candy, but I would think “oh it’s time for my kefir” and look forward to it in a way. I didn’t have to remind myself after about a month. It really has helped me…slow and steady.
I’m using Goat milk. The grains are not growing as I thought they would. They seem to stop growing. When I drain the milk, there is a creamy texture at the bottom of the jar. The goat milk is not thicker as I thought it would be. I do not have curds in the milk. Something is not right. Can the grains be dormant?
Should I order another starter kit and go through the process again?
My wife has stomach issues. She recently had a biopsy in the stomach and esophagus. She has inflammation in both areas. We are waiting for the results, she may have cancer.
I was recently diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I don’t have high blood pressure, diabetes or any stomach issues. I’m hoping to get treatment this month, it may be December.
I need this to work and we will drink Kefir daily using goats milk. Once we can get started we may incorporate Kefir in other recipes.
Thank you for your time.
Great video!!' I've been using kefir off and on for about 5 years now. This was still craxy informative
Lactose intolerance come from that “treated” milk. Raw milk contains the bacteria that breaks down the sugar in milk.
I shit you not. I've always had a problem with paterized dairy products aside from cheese. Every time I've had paterized milk or yogurt. My throat would get clogged up with flem/mucus and I would have basically spit it out since its hard to swallow it. However once I started drinking raw milk itself and raw kefir. I got none of that flem/mucus in my throat at all. So now I'm just sticking to raw milk or kefir any time I have dairy products
You are correct, when I was a child, I would milk the cows in the country, and boil the whole milk and drink it. When I became an adult, I tried drinking box milk and it give me diarrhea. I drink Kefir now, and I am find.
Well I agree in theory, but I grew up on raw cow and goat dairy, but around age 3 I stopped being able to digest raw Milks. And so do many kids around that age in the centre we worked
@@jaredf.6532 Been dealing with the same. Never had that problem with yoghurt. Gonna switch to kefir for a while

Yes, it's marketed here in South Africa as Amasi. I use Amasi to make my own cottage cheese but I make my own Kefir.
Good info! Thank you for your work! We are sheep’s milk Kefir makers!

I love kefir. I make a simple oatmeal smoothie every morning with 1 cup kefir, 2 tbsp oatmeal, 1 fugi or gala apple (peeled and seeded) adds natural sweetness, and 1/4 tsp or to taste cinnamon powder. Optional (1/2 tsp chia seeds) It is delicious and keeps me satiated for a few hours.
In recipes that call for buttermilk, kefir can be used to replace the buttermilk.
I cup kefir , 16 oz milk , 1 banana , 3 raw whole eggs , 1 table spoon powder chocolate or vanilla , 1 spoon honey bamm! Milk shake breakfast .
Nicely done. (The music is too loud on the background)
I’ve been using kefir for coming up three weeks, I can’t believe how settled my digestive system is. Bloating has pretty much stopped and I can tolerate certain foods that usually would give me terrible acid (example raw onion) I’m sleeping better too. Feeling all round so much better.
Goats milk kefir is great for insomnia. It contains tryptophan which helps produce serotonin - the hormone that promotes good sleep. On a side note, because kefir boosts energy, other types are best avoided at night.
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering when is the best time to consume heifer ad I just discovered it.
@@sbakombo You’re welcome! It’s possible that not everyone is affected in the same way? Perhaps you could try taking it one night to see how affects you? Whenever you take it, I advise taking it alone. My favourite time is first thing on am empty stomach. I believe kefir and other health foods are most effective when they don’t have other foods mixed with them.
I drink it before going to sleep 😂 I'm going to stop doing that because I have insomnia u
Unfortunately we cannot get tryptophan dietarily, because it is broken down during digestion, and our bodies cannot synthesize it. Probiotics provide us with tryptophan, and without them we could not survive. Probiotics also provide us with vitamin K, because our bodies do not provide but about 1/2 of what we need.
Babies do not have enough Vit K until their probiotics develop, so they are given a Vit K shot to plug the gap.
sauerkraut and kefir - always in my fridge
I love the happy music during the fracture and death part of the presentation. 🤣
I discovered Kefir about 6 months ago when needing some plain Kefir for a recipe I wanted to try. Since then I have it on hand at all times. It makes the best "buttermilk" pancake and biscuits. Also, added it to a bread recipe that called for sourdough, not quite the same but still gave the bread a wonderful sour taste and silky texture without adding any butter. I have not tried it any other way and am not into drinking it or even milk, but will trying in future recipes that call for buttermilk.
If you heat it, you kill the beneficial bacteria.
Heating kefir kills all the bacteria, just so ya know 😁
I thought heating the kefir kills the bacterium. You should look into it.
Please how can I get this kefir? By the way I live in Algeria
@@welwellwell71 It does. But it can still be used as a yoghurt/buttermilk substitute in baking.
Many centuries before Rishis knew this about gut bacteria. Curd was and still is most important part of Indian diet.

@@kasturipillay6626 kefir is very potent compared to curd. Sadly, it's slightly hard to get good kefir
Use kefir instead of buttermilk in pancakes. Amazing
Sure flavor might be good but the best nutritional bang is in consuming it raw!!
@@Sunshine-Lyon sure but you can do both. Kefir pancakes rock.
How do the bacteria survive the heat of cooking
@@Auzzy9 same question!
Not sure if what I make is kefir. 4 years ago a guy gave me a yogurt substance in a little plastic bag and I put a teaspoon of it in a pint of milk and leave it for a day at room temperature and then put it back in the fridge and save a little to make a new jar. It has a very mild taste and doesn’t become stringy. The culture came from Finland and who knows how old it is. I wouldn’t talk about it using the word grains or saving the grains. I would say the word starter as in the process of sourdough. So is there a difference between kefir and what I do?
I mix my meals with it and my stool is regular. Sardines in can is also another great food. Its not like tuna in a can.
Why are sardine better than tuna? Are we talking aboit tinned sardines?
I’ve started having a glass on a empty stomach in morning time with ginger and honey
Honey should not be mixed with kefir, because its naturally antibiotic action will kill off the good kefir probiotics that you're trying to get into your system.
Grew up drinking this delicious drink ♡_♡
Thank you for the video.
Can I put the kefir grains in a cloth with perforations so that I can avoid the trouble of straining it. That is put the grains in a loose pouch and tie a knot, so that grains do not scatter
Of course I will change the cloth every time for hygiene purpose
Why do probiotics even sell then ? This thing is amazing !
Nice informative video. Thanks and kind Regards
I just started drinking kefir I really like it. kefir the taste reminds me of buttermilk.
Just tried it for the first time. Taste is a bit strange slightly sour and tastes a bit fizzy. Strange taste to get used to but seems like it’s good for you.
if it's fizzy that's a strong one

Love kefir. Just hard to get here. I will have to order new kefir online.
There is an incredible amount of confusion about the carb content of actual Kefir!. The milk sugars - lactose - are consumed in the fermentation process so residual carbs can be as low as 1-2 carbs per 8 oz glass Kefir. The govt specified nutrition information label counts the starting milk lactose levels OR the acid byproducts (source of Kefir's tartness) of the fermentation process as 'carbs' - and more than 75% of web sites that I have reviewed use this info and report a Kefir carb content of 8-12 carbs per glass depending on the web site. Only a few sites reference the lactose conversion and report 1-2 carbs only per glass of Kefir. So this info variance is confusing. As a 5 year Keto veteran this is important data for me. What are the facts!!?? Thank you.
In Chile, they call it "yoghurt de pajarito"/ yoghurt of Little birds
In the U.S. birds just eat yogurt with everyone else.

Hi neighbours-Latvian here.
@@vivianc4863 hi
I will go with Caucasus Mountain’s 🏔 story.
Cow milk, goat milk , sheep milk are very different chemically. Can’t lump it all together as “diary”.
The word Kefir is derived from the Arabic word خاثر ḵāṯir (Clotted/coagluted, clabbered).
Bedouins used to store milk inside bags made out of goat stomach, when they travel they used to have these bags on the camels so it will keep shaking all the time while traveling, the next day the milk will get Clotted, they call it Laban Kathir (Clotted/clabbered milk).
I read that it came from the Turkish word for "good feeling"
@@Ferdiahayes
Some people claim it is derived from the word Kief, which means good feeling when you are on drugs, this is quite a stretch.
"Kief (pronounced [keːf, ki(ː)f, kɪf]; from Arabic كيف (kayf) 'pleasure'), sometimes transliterated as keef, also known as cannabis crystals among other names, refers to the resinous trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis infructescences with a mesh screen or sieve."
Kefir is derived from the word ḵāṯir makes more sense, especially that the letters ḵ and ṯ are not used by many Indo-European languages therfore they were shifted to K and F (ḵāṯir -> Kafir).
Also the word ḵāṯir is still used in Arabic refering to all fermented milk, and the word derived from the root word ḵ-ṯ-r which means Clot.

Need to find some seeds , to start the cultures .
I make my own yoghurt , useing either a base from a packet , with the addition of a probiotic capsules , or in making it from scratch , 2 capsules of probiotic , plus the culture . This ensures there's a healthier gut biome , than without it , and it shows on exiting , along with a reduced aroma .
You can grow kefir, in the same way you do live yoghurt. I just bought a bottle from the supermarket put 1cm of it in a jam jar and topped it up with milk. Then left it in a microwave with the lid off. Done after a day or so.
I have a few jars on the go now (I use it for cereal in the mornings), so you don't need the grains.
@@dougrump brilliant, Thankyou I will do that today. Best tip ever
Sorry when u make kefir with grains or without grains second fermentation the microbiom will increase in larg amount and that's what u want to consume. U r loosing the benefits when u shortcut grains
I’m an expat living in the Middle East and noticed it’s very popular here. Just bought some and excited to add it to my diet!
Bought my first quart of strawberry Kefir and I’m already sold in the texture and taste. I hope it helps regulate my digestion issues, morning sickness, and hopefully my mood in the long run!
Buy plain kefir, don't get it with sugar in as the sugar will feed the bad yeast in your gut.
Only get plain
You should only use plain for gut issues.
L ruteri can cause babies to come early.
If you're having digestive issues, plain is the best choice, strawberry is much too sweet, get the plain unsweetened made from raw milk if possible.
It's pronounced k'FEAR.
As well as KEE-fir. Who cares
Haha yes, this bothered me the whole video 😆
I care!
I am in the process of reviving mine that I just received 😊😊😊I can’t wait to taste it
It tastes gross like sour milk with a slight spicy sensation I don’t like at all and can’t get my kids to drink it I have to force myself to drink dew spoons but I guess it’s worth the yucky taste
Would you say this is the same as kumis?
I make my own kefir from grains and I drizzle just a little honey in it, smooths out the taste a lot.
That sounds interesting, can you give us more details? Maybe you should make a you tube video about how you do it,
I throw it in the blender with frozen fruit and a bit of maple syrup. Delicious smoothies!
Honey is antimicrobial. You should use maple syrup instead.
Everything needs to be in moderation. Remember SIBO Your stomach acid is supposed to kill bacteria before it gets into the small intestine, that's because bacteria for the most part do not belong there. This good bacteria belongs in the large intestine not competing with your food. The hope is, that if your stomach acid is good, maybe some of these good bacteria will survive the acid gauntlet of your stomach and small intestine and actually make it to your large intestine. But if you have acid reflux, you may end up with SIBO, "small intestine bacteria overgrowth" If that's the case try drinking some apple cider vinegar. Acid reflux is normally caused by low stomach acid not closing the esophagus, and that muscle needs high acidity to close. (Don't take an antiacid, that will just make it worse)! I drink 2 tablespoons twice a day with an 8-ounce glass of water. Get ACV with the "mothers".
Anytime i get hiccups i drink vinegar which like every other week
Great advice you are absolutely right👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍God bless you🙏🏻
@@user-smart3 I learned the very hard way that when you have acid reflux you shouldn't take the prescription acid blocker the doctor pushes on you. And what's worse, when you realize things are going south you hear kefir will help. But now you have an entrance into your now unprotected digestive system that is totally open to SIBO at best but any kind of bacteria that happens along, totally the opposite of how it was designed thanks to a medical industry that has a business model of necessary return customers. Had I known this, I would have taken the two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water and made a lifelong nightmare nonexistent.

Easy as pie. Get yourself some grains and get started. I got mine as a kit - a jar, a spoon, a strainer, and about half a teaspoon of what looked like yellow granulated sugar. Follow the instructions and Bob's your Uncle. Lots of RUclips videos. Get started!
Please, be aware that you have to use a glass container, a wood spoon and a plastic strainer. Do not use metal spoons .
Use a glass container which have a lid and close it tide.
Leave it for 2- 3 days .

Second ferment is easy too or w/fruit
Or if it’s good taste, just plain
Pastured milk is best flavor
Can you use lactose free milk to make kefir?
Probably not since the bacteria feed off the kefir. Milk kefir is supposed to be ok for people who are lactose intolerant. But you can make water kefir.

I personally only use the coconut kefir. I don't use cow milk.
Does anyone experience about drinking Kefir can be gain weight too? I love kefir but don't like the weight gain. Any suggestion? Thank you in advance.
Make sure you are having a low/no sugar diet and low to moderate carbohydrate consumption then the higher fat/calories In milk kefir should not be a problem. Just have it once a day also
Actually it will help you to lose weight also good for high blood sugar too
Interesting but I could only get halfway through as the music was so grating!
most of the time, in my experience, it has taken over 24 hours to make the kefir - closer to 48 hours
It depends. I make mine from previous batches as I do not use grains. I just pour a cup into a half gallon jar of cold raw milk, stir it up, and leave it on the counter. Depending on the room temperature it can take between 14 to 24 hours, but I like to refrigerate it a little before then if I can, when it just starts to get a little bit firm from top to bottom.
So you don’t have to use the grains every time to make it? I’m confused so many people are saying different things. The people that I ordered mine from online say recommend not drinking the 1st batch because it’s just to see if the grains work
Mine is very simple. Leave about three tablespoons of kefir in the jar. Pour in the milk. Leave in cupboard for 12 hours for the fermentation to happen. Then refrigerate. All done. Because I have to gain weight, I have been adding 1/4 cup of whipping cream in it. Tastes so smooth and delicious.
