Digestion has never been an issue for me ( can eat just about anything in copious amounts), which is one of the reasons I never tried probiotics. I've had pretty good luck attacking skin problems lately with cod liver oil (I buy swason's double strength and take two a day). But then at the last doc visit he said that while the eczema was fading (slowly) I should do antibiotics for a month and cortisone. BOTHER. I already make my own creams and soaps. I know I will get heat rash in the summer (inevitably) and that is probably what led to the eczema. Then I read that the probiotics might help it so here I am. Most of it is gone (probably the cod liver oil because I've been taking that for two months. I just started the antibiotics and then added the kefir two days ago).
The kefir doesn't seem to be causing me any issues, but I'm drinking a cup or less to start. It's too early to tell any results. It would be okay with me if I lost a few pounds...but adding blackberries and chocolate to the kefir may not be the best for weight loss!!!
Thanks for the warning though. I will watch the amounts. No need to add to my issues, that is for certain!
