I have been drinking kefir water for about 3 months. I have had IBS all my life. I am 70 years old and have taken drugs for acid reflux for 35 years. Since I have been drinking kefir I have no bloating, very little heartburn or gas and no constipation. I have my life back. Try it you won't be disapointed.

I've been using water kefir for a few months now. It definately helps with Bowel movements, it's good to get all that gunk out of your intestines. I believe that's where most disease start. When I drink a little water kefir daily a half glass or so I feel better and I have no sugar cravings at all. My energy level goes up to. My hair gets softer and my skin looks healthier. If you decide to try it start out with an ounce or two at first-your body has to get used to it. I don't think it should be drank like soda pop, it's probiotics. I have'nt been diagnosed with I.B.S. but had some of the symptoms. No matter what you read on the internet-research it yourself and come to your own conclusions. Never rely on someone else only yourself.

I've been using water Kefir for a little over a week now. I am lactose intolerant and I only take a couple of tablespoons a day of Kefir water. I still have problems with loose bowls, some days I go six or seven times a day and other days not at all. But my energy has really improved, I'm 64 and can't believe the difference it has mad in my energy, also it has taken all my sugar cravings away. I've heard that the more messed up your gut is the longer it takes for Kefir to help straighten you out. So I'm still waiting for that part. But overall I feel so much better. I also think it has helped my arthritis and fibromialgia a little. My daughter is the one that discovered Kefir and she is doing really well, she has been very regular with it and says her energy level and sugar cravings have stopped also. Her husband calls her the energize bunny.

Water kefir is an amazing remedy for a wide range of ailments. With so many people taking antibiotics, washing themselves with soap every day, and living in clean, sterile environments, we are living in an epidemic of bacterial imbalance. Water kefir is a rich source of good probiotic bacteria, cheap, and quick and easy to make. Notice that its' bacteria thrive in a sugar environment – and we live in an abundance of sugar, sweet refined foods, and carbohydrates.
I drink a little water kefir a couple of times each day, rinse my hair with it, put it on my skin where there is any sign of inflammation or other skin problems, wash my eyelids with it, and use it on keratosis, liver spots and any sign of skin aging. The effects have been remarkable after using it for a few months. My digestion is strong, keratosis are disappearing, as are liver and age spots. I feel really good and healthy. A thorough saturation of good bacteria, both inside and outside the body, helps create the symbiosis of microorganisms that is one of the pillars of good health and longevity.
