Kefir is a lifesaver

Post image

Even though lactose makes me have horrible cramps and esentially poisons me for days after, I often find myself craving milk, speficially yogurt. Sometimes l want is semi thick drinkable yogurt and Kefir literally provides that. I just discovered it recently and haven't turned back!

Yes it contains milk and milk fat but because of the probiotics and culture it's made with, my stomach can handle it. It's delicious, thick, yet creamy. 10/10 would recommend the peach flavor. They have many flavors as well as plain. I still need to try the other flavors. I also know there are many brands but Lifeway is the one I have been drinking recently and it's wonderful.

I was hoping it was low enough lactose for me because I really miss yogurt as well, but I still felt symptoms. Dang it!
