Kefir?

[Quinn31]

I've heard conflicting things about drinking kefir for ttc and swaying boy. Does anyone know anything about it? My husband is suddenly obsessed with making our own.

Well, probiotics has been shown to sway boy and that's what kefir is, so I think it would be great for a boy sway!

Okay thanks. I read something about it making your body more acidic which I thought was bad for a boy sway. It seems like such a superfood and great for overall health.

I drank a bunch of kefir with my 6th boy.I think probiotics and the protein sway boy but I was doing to sway girl by recommendation on "another site"

The "other sites" have probiotics as swaying pink. But when we tracked it it was the ONLY pink sway tactic that got less than 50-50, indicating that not only was it not working for a pink sway, it was actually swaying BLUE. (and unlike them we track things individually and NOT as a group...they will only include results from people who do everything a certain way and thus have no way to keep track of one tactic in isolation the way we do)

We now use probiotics only for blue with great results. Kefir is not the greatest way to get probiotics into your intestines though, because while it's good for health and keeps your mouth/throat and even your breathing passages full of healthy microorganisms, once it hits your stomach acid a lot of the litle critters are killed off and never make it to your guts anyway. If you want probiotics for your sway, take actual probiotic capsules that are designed to survive the stomach acid and only release their contents in the intestines where the probiotic microbes set up shop and seem to sway blue (and also of course help with health and well eing as well)

I do want to mention an experience I had with making my own yogurt. I did it for a while and everything seemed great, then inexpicably, both myself and one of my sons (we were the only two who like yogurt, my husband and my other son didn't ever eat it) developed horrible stomach pain and constant, terrible heartburn that lasted for MONTHS. It was only after being treated with anti-acid medications for 6 weeks for my son, and more like 4 months for me, did it finally clear up. Doctors and yogurt experts told us that "it can't possibly be from the yogurt" but we were the only two people who got sick and it just went on and on and on. So I would be really careful with making your own, because even though experts will tell you that it can't happen, it did to us and it was a nightmare.
