The Kefir Solution: Natural Healing for IBS, Depression and Anxiety Paperback – June 26, 2018

Because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis I have been researching many books this year. I have been gluten free for about five years and this year went dairy free and egg free. I cheat a little with the dairy. I swear by kefir which I started about two years ago with cows milk kefir. I have lots of tummy issues though and went to coconut kefir about a year ago and have done ok with that but wanted to get more strains of bacteria and more calcium. I stumbled across this book and it pretty much follows a lot of the current thinking like the Plant Paradox and several other books are about except for oats and goat kefir. Well I have to tell you I never knew goat milk was so creamy and delicious. I have been getting goat butter and the milk but mostly I have fallen in love with goat kefir. I live in the US so I have to get what is available here but so far it seems to be agreeing with me ok. Today I am testing oats by doing the overnight oats with kefir and so far so good. Thanks for this book, I will get a couple more for my family after I do a couple weeks of this. Oh and by the way I do have issues with depression and anxiety so hopefully that will be a good side effect also.

I bought this book for the recipes, but it turned out to be so much more! I've been drinking kefir to deal with a candida overgrowth and this book had so many great ideas beyond kefir for naturally improving health. It's really a terrific book with a lot of good information and very well written. The author has done her research and has an amazing story to tell. I highly recommend this book (and kefir) to anyone who wants to improve their gut health!

Although this book has good information about how healing kefir is and how to use it, it did not meet my expectations. It is written by a kefir producer in the UK and would be appropriate for people who lived there and wanted to purchase kefir from that company. It did not tell me how to make my own kefir which is what I wanted it to do.
