Made water Kefir for a while and thought the bloating and disaster pants was just my body getting used to it. After a few weeks it only got worse. My doctor told me to stop drinking it and gave me an antibiotic. Within a few days the bloating went away and I was fine again.

Initially I was hoping for a cure from IBSD . It didn't work for that , but noticed jock itch and allergies have 95% cleard up . I make smoothies with 2 cups dairy kefir , 2 big ripe banas and 3 or 4 cups chopped kale . It's loaded with pre-biotics to boost the probiotics .
