Does anyone else take Kefir, whilst on Methotrexate? Is it considered safe?

I have been drinking Kefir for longer than I have been on Methotrexate injections and I was not aware of any potential problems. I am sure it's done me no harm and it has helped my gastric problems so I shall carry on in blissful ignorance.

Thank you for that, good to hear. I shall carry on with it then.

It's often suggested for those of us with Osteoporosis, I've had it and I'm on MTX.

Hi, Lottie4. I was diagnosed with RA 25years ago. Currently on 15mg MTX by injection, and occasionally on 20mg. I started making my own kefir two years ago and take a full glass daily, make fabulous soda bread with it and light and fluffy scones, all with no ill effects. I'm sure it does my gut good. Wonderful stuff!
