Okay this is gonna sound weird but here goes: I've been drinking water kefir for about a month (YUM) and I've been noticing a difference in my BMs. I haven't been doing anything differently, so I'm wondering if it's b/c of the water kefir. My BMs seem to just PLOP out! It feels kinda like when you have mucous in them -- but no mucous. Just "fluffy" healthy movements... I can't help but wonder if the little buggies are up to good in the intestines.
(Haha, i'm waay too in tune w/ my movements!)
Any other water kefir drinkers notice this phenomenon??

p.s. By the way, I love to do secondary ferments, like Uny does. My favorite 'recipe' is to add freeze-dried strawberries (Just Tomatoes brand) to the secondary ferment, plus maybe 1/2 tsp of sucanat. (I make 4-cup batches.) Sooo delicious!! I've also tried raspberries -- my favorite fruit "flavor" -- but like strawberries better in this case. Also, love making "ginger kefir" -- add about 5 slices of ginger to the secondary ferment.
ooo ooo, now I've gotta try Uny's root beer herbs. Order on the way!!
I've got her root beer herbs and I'll tell you what, they smell fantastic. I'm going to start my very first batch towards the end of next week but I think I'll use a vanilla bean for the first batch and save the root beer herbs until I've got some kefir batches under my belt. That's how precious those herbs are to me lol!
I got my RB herbs I guess about a couple of months ago. When I got them I took them out of the baggie and put them in a pint jar so they'd stay fresh. The smell was so strong and so wonderful I left the baggie open and stuck it in my cabinet so every time I open the cabinet I smell root beer. I'm still smelling those herbs from that little baggie after two months. I can't wait to use them!
