Good for you. I started with the store kefir, and found that it improved my digestion, sleep and some skin blemishes were gone.
My two main reasons for switching to making my own are very high cholesterol and having to take antibiotics 3 times in last 6 months. I hate antibiotics but seems the only solution.
My digestion has always been terrible even as an infant I am told. Now I can even eat beans with no after effects. And I have lost weight which I attribute to food being better digested and not sitting in my stomach for 8 hours or more.
I have eczema as well although most of it was cleared up pre kefir. The two small spots I have left seem to be shrinking.
It is pretty good stuff and won't hurt AFAIK.
Even with the store bought, take it easy for at least a week. 2 oz. a day for the first few days.
