Hooray for fermented foods! I've been spreading the kefir gospel to all of my friends here in BKK and abroad and have gotten converts already!

Sorry, still new at posting... I agree, it sounds like a troll attempting to get the Kefir Community up in arms. Why else post a comment like that in a thread like this?

I'd like to report back to tell everyone that making Kefir milk has been a smashing success over the last week. It's so easy and I'm already feeling better and like my digestion is back on track. Thanks for the support and input and a big THANKS to Morning Glory for sharing her grains and knowledge. I hope to have enough soon to start sharing with friends in Bangkok. I've also really gotten into learning more about Kefir and fermentation in general. It's so fascinating to learn about all the ways to ferment things.

Thanks again and keep on fermenting!

Kefir grains are of abslutely no value whastsoever - detox is a myth. Any benefits barren purely psychological and temporary.

Save time and money and eat a balanced diet.

Troll off back under the bridge from where you came.

If you're in Chiang Mai, I can help you with Kefir Grains.

Thanks, Masuk, but I'm located in Bangkok. Appreciate the offer, though.

I've downloaded a book to my Kindle (How to Make Kefir - A Beginngers Guide, $5) and look forward to learning all about kefir so I can start my own experimentation.

Thanks again to everyone for your kind responses.

Hi All, I'm new to TV and kefir fermentation but am excited to explore both more in depth. I see this post has been going on for years now but I wanted to ask if anyone has grains to give away in Bangkok? I live in the Thong Lor area and would be happy to travel or send money for posting. From the bit of research I've done, I think I'd like to use water kefir grains in coconut water, but am also equally happy to try milk kefir in coconut milk (I try to avoid dairy as much as possible). Thanks so much for any help offered!

The reason most people try to avoid dairy is because they are lactose intolerant. The only other reason I can think of would be some allergy to milk protein, which is rare. What's your reason for avoiding it?

There is no lactose left in fully fermented kefir. The kefir grains feed on the lactose.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have found that my body has adverse reactions to dairy, mostly inflammation, and made the assumption that this could be the case if taking milk kefir regularly. I will have to do a bit more research into it. I've considered using coconut milk, but again, have not done my homework to see if this is a viable option.

This seems to be a great community with many great minds, so I will definitely come back if I have any more questions as well as posting if I have kefir to share- many thanks to Morning Glory for offering to share hers with me.
