I hesitated at starting as I wasnt sure if it would taste like rotten food (like the vinegar egg that was extremely popular for a period of time), and I knew with the quantity that they can consume, I must be able to partake the kefir as well. So even though I have read ablut kefir for some time and even bought water kefir grains from amazon, I never really started.
Just late July, my hubby was diagnosed with mild gout. It was surprising to us as I am the more susceptible candidate to health problems. And it turns out that kefir can help with gout problems as well. I thought, well why not give it a try.. If it works, it benefits everyone in the family. And thankfully one of my hiking friend from last year's Cambodia trip have milk kefir grains to spare and shared some with me, along with a lot of information and a facebook group of kefir lovers.
What seemed very complicated is actually not too difficult, especially when you get used to the routine. It was a bit confusing on what to do, what to use, how much quantity, on the initial stage. Especially when i started to make both milk and water kefir at the same time.
But I am not so sure if it helps with weight loss the way many people say. I only see weight going up not down :(
