Anyone else just started taking Kefir?

[ALILYN]

Hi, I have had years of bowel problems. been told I have IBS and Diverticular disease, nothing helps with the pain and now get bad cramps after emptying bowels. I was watching a programme where this product was recommended, been taking it since Tuesday, to start with it helped with pain but now its making me really constipated, I don't know whether to give up or carry on. Anyone else experience this?

I only way I can deal with its is to eat very bland food when disheartened strikes then if constipation kicks in..high fibre food.no cheese or cream for me😢😢

I haven't started using it yet as I have yet to buy the grains but this is what I am going to do. I soak a rounded dessertspoonful of Linseeds in around a 3rd of a mug of water and soak for an hour and then drink, some people grind the linseeds down first. This works a treat for me, it doesn't for everyone but I find it certainly puts me back on track.

Best wishes

I bought water kefir grains and made that a few months ago. I liked it well enough but I just couldn’t drink it as fast as i was producing it and had to keep ‘burping’ the bottles in the fridge. I was terrified I’d forget and they would explode or something. Sadly I’m afraid I killed it off.

It tasted ok and I suppose it did me good but I don’t think I felt any worse once I stopped it. To be honest I found it a lot of work.
