Kefir

Has anyone experienced intestinal problems from Kefir? I just started drinking Kefir (raspberry) for the first time last week and was having a lot of gas (the loud kind, not the smelly kind). I noticed that it was on the days that I drank the Kefir (probably only about 4 oz each time). Just wondering if anyone else has had wierd side effects from this. I don't think it's gluten, and it's not the same as my other dairy problems :)

I just started drinking raspberry kefir made by Helios Saturday. Did you notice how much sugar it has ? 23 grams ... I think plain only has 10 grams. Helios kefir is gluten free.

If this is your first time drinking kefir you may have to back off and only drink 2 oz at a time. It can be hard on your digestive tract. Any change, even one for the better, can take some getting used to.

I didn't notice any problems with it, but I have been drinking kefir off and on since 2005.

Kefir is usually made from milk, so I'd ascribe it to that.

I make kefir myself from coconut milk and my kefir cultures. It is good!

It doesn't give me gas. It seems to make my gut pretty happy.

I drink the Lifeway brand - about 12 oz a day and I've never had any problems. Other people have said that they have problems adjusting to probiotics, and since this contains probiotics, maybe that is the issue.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."

      What canned tomato sauce is gluten free? I use Hunts diced tomatoes, because they're labeled gluten-free, but none of their other products are labeled. Similar situation with some other brands. How about ricotta? Is that generally safe? Can I just get the store brand? Or do I need to look for a gluten-free label? Thanks for any help.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By trents · Posted

      BadHobit, did you know that 40% of the general population has one or more of the genes that have been associated with the development of celiac disease? But only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, the gene test can legitimately be used to rule out celiac disease but not to confirm it.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By BadHobit · Posted

      An entirely different infection caused the sore throat. My doctor said, "When you suddenly switch from a gluten-free diet to gluten, your immune system weakens." I got better with medication. Once I recovered, I experimented with wheat-free but gluten-contaminated foods such as oats. Within a week, watery blisters appeared on my skin again. So I gave up gluten for good. And hello, I gained weight, and I'm not skinny anymore (in fact, I was a person who lost weight by eating pizza and hamburgers!). My skin, stomach, and intestines are happy. I just think they can find out if I have celiac disease—and I'm ninety percent sure about the gluten part—with a diagnostic gene test. However, I prefer not to visit the hospital due to my excellent health. I'll keep you posted when I have that gene test done and receive the results. Thanks a bunch for your help!
