  • Kefir is an incredible probiotic fermented beverage that was an essential component of my gut microbiome optimizing protocol that allowed me to achieve total resolution of a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis nearly four years ago. This is how I make it.

    • @cheayunju
      @cheayunju Před rokem +1

      No, I didn't have any strong uc symptoms. It seemed to help. I started making it from the microbiota kit that I researched to be the easiest.
      I also made a lot of other dietary changes. My gut was back to normal, but after a buffet meal with my wife where I had a lot of fancy desserts and ice cream, I had extreme bowel bleeding the next day after work. That was when I realized processed/ added sugar was causing the flair ups. I quit sugar that day improved quickly. Since then I have avoided added suger, but natural sugar in fruit doesn't seem to make a problem.
      Sorry tangent.
      Depending on temperature, here in Korea I ferment my milk kefir (just made from standard basic brand full fat Seoul Milk) 24 hrs in spring and summer and 48 hrs in winter and fall, and adjust based on the way it looks in the jar.
      If you can find a sugarless product in store it might be easier. When I started making kefir, the only thing sold in Korea had a lot of sugar added to it (even the Cheetos are sweet here^o^). I've since found a Russian/Uzbek enclave neighborhood with several shops where I can buy some branded and fresh local kefirs.
      But if you're worried about reaction, I suggest just find a pure, completely sugar-free kefir and start with just half a cup per day and see how it goes^^
      I'm used to it now, so I just chug it^^lol

    Yeah, how much I use varies because they grow quickly. I ideally like to use a tablespoon and a half per two cups of milk maybe slightly less. In 12 hours it's very tart and the cream is separating. I recently ate a tablespoon of grains because in 12 hours it was so fermented the clear liquid was bubbling over. And I don't want to drink more kefir than a cup and a half twice a day.

    • @team_honnas
      @team_honnas  Před 3 lety +3

      Really appreciate the kind words, thank you! Here is the link to the kefir fermenter: amzn.to/3mSK0Q2. I personally think the best way to go through a milder die off reaction is to start low and go slow. If I were doing it over again, I would start with 100 mL per day for 1 week. If I saw an increase in symptoms as a result of the die off reaction, I would either hold the dose of kefir steady for 1-3 days and see if the symptoms decreased/normalized. If they didn't decrease/normalize, then I would drop the dose of kefir or stop the kefir altogether until they did. On the flip side, If the symptoms normalize after a few days, I would increase the dose by 100 mL every week until I was up to about 800 mL like the IBD patients in the study were given. Always err on the side of caution! If you see an increase in symptoms and need medical attention, go get it. I always recommend consulting and listening to your doctor before you make dietary changes. Hope that helps.

      Thank you! Yes, I have. I fermented kefir between 24-36 hours for a long time until I called the dairy I originally got my kefir from. I asked them how they made their kefir and they told me they allowed it to ferment for 48 hours, so I decided to start doing it that way.

  • @cheayunju

    Just my atypical experience: I didn't have uc until I was 47. I suddenly started having joint pain, then uveitis (swollen eye), and then severe ulcerative colitis and anemia. It came out of nowhere. UC typically starts in young people, but mine was very late onset. I often drank beer after work, so I assumed that was the cause. I cut it, but the problem continued. My doctor (in Korea) prescribed mesalazine as an anti-inflammatory for the gut. That helped but flares kept occurring. At one point I was fine. My wife and I went to this fancy 100 dollar buffet and flipped out. I ate a lot of small cakes and rich ice cream for dessert. The next day, bloody blowout. That's when I realized my biggest trigger for flare was simply processed sugar. It's like I'm allergic now. A piece of cake will give me full body joint inflammation and more will cause the uc. So, for me, completely quitting sugar and boosting my gut with kefir got me pretty much back to normal. I think my late-age uc was a symptom of leaky gut caused by processed sugar and alcohol. I still take mesalazine as my gastro prescribes, but compared to the US it is quite easy in Korea. It's only about $40 for 2 months of the oral drug. My doc really pushed using the suppositories at first, and I tried them, but that is a kinda unpleasant way to take medicine^^

    Hey Kenny, I just started your Bootcamp a week ago. You've been an absolute Godsend in my life as I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis about a year now. I was on Mesalamine for a year and could eat pretty much anything I wanted, but last month I noticed that the medicine wasn't working like it used to. I came to the conclusion that I will always have to increase the dosage of my medicine or worse if I continue down this path. I didn't have any hope that I could heal this condition until I stumbled upon one of your videos. Thank you so much for giving people like us hope and being a blessing in our lives. Also, I know that you suggest using raw milk. However, I'm still not comfortable with it quite yet. I'd like to start with just Kefir and normal milk first. Does it matter what milk I use? Could I make Kefir with Almond milk for example?

    • @team_honnas
      @team_honnas  Před 3 lety +12

      Appreciate the kind words! You could start with regular milk, doesn't need to be raw. The fermentation process will still break down a significant portion of the lactose and increase the probiotic microorganisms. There are ways to make it with coconut milk and I'd assume almond milk as well. Cultures for health has some info about plant based kefir on their website that might be worth checking out. I'll also be filming a video about a pretty cool probiotic coconut yogurt that has some similar benefits as kefir. Hope that helps!
