I have had many health problems, recently I saw an herbalist since no doctor for years could figure out what was wrong. I started on a yeast kill off that includes other things too. ( bad bugs) then he told me to make and take probiotics. Much of the health problems have subdued, He said to put a grain in a bowl and water and let it sit then take the bubbled up water. any suggestions.

Mindy, I think fermentation does breakdown some of the lactose. Regardless, it seems that fermentation into kefir and yogurt help with lactose digestion.if you need that high of a probiotic intake, you're likely going to need some supplements to ensure that you get there. I'm not sure you'd need to take them forever though, just to get your gut health back up to par and then smaller amounts from supplements and fermented foods. Obviously best to consult a doctor there.CheersScott

Hi Scott,Thanks so much for answering! I have not tried the real yogurt or kefir. Does the fermentation process eat up the lactose do you know?I am a fairly ill person and have been told that until my body is well and at maintenance level I ought to be taking approx 50 billion per day in Probiotics which is why I asked if there is a way to gauge this in fermented foods. I am so new to this that I am unsure and wanting to make sure that I have enough if I go the way of fermented foods as opposed to the supplements. Might you know of where I can find this information out or do you have recommendations on how much one should eat daily in the way of these fermented foods?Just a little nervous and confused about the whole thing, but soooo want to get well.Thanks for your help and patience with me.

Hey Mindy, I’m not sure there’s anyway to measure the amount of probiotic activity in fermented foods. I just know that they are good for me, so I eat them. Have you tried real yogurt or kefir to see if they still trigger migraines?CheersScott

Yours is the first website that I came to after Googling “How To Make Your Own Probiotics.” My husband and I, at this point, have typical yucky American diet and really want to change. I am fairly ill with constant migraines, have hypothyroidism and depression. My husband has issues of his own. We just watched a DVD by Brenda Watson and she recommended that once you’re at the maintenance level, getting approximately 5-6 Billion per day in probiotics. We want to try to make our own so that we do not have the expense of buying this stuff in capsule form in a bottle. Not cheap! My question is….how does one know how many billions one is getting with these different recipes? I personally would not have the foggiest idea.Thanks so much for listing all of this. I’m sure that it will be a great help to us.I would much prefer yogurt or kefer, but dairy triggers migraines in me darnit, so will try to figure out something else that we can easily and quickly take daily. Though we both like sauerkraut, I certainly cannot see us taking it daily, so will probably choose otherwise.Thanks in advance to any help offered!
