Why are you even on the kefir forum? Kefir is about probiotics, not Antibiotics .

Strawberries kill some people due to allergic reaction.

26 years ago my internist found a spot on my lung he assumed was TB. He prescribed a course of daily Antibiotics for an entire year.

Three months after I finished the course I came down with Epstein-Barr Syndrome, and was left with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for the next 5 years.

Still, my immune system was evidencing damage by the Antibiotics even seven years later, because less than tow years after recovring I'd say 95% from CFS, I suddenly had svere allergies. 85 out of 100 things I was tested for I had a reaction. This confirmed my now severe allergies.

Before this time I might have had mild to moderate pollen allergies for two weeks out of the year. But suddenly my allergies over the next 6 years would cycle from January through June--and they were severe.

I gave myself allergan injections for six years & then my allergies returned to mild and just 2 - 3 days out of the year.

Health is in a state of flux, so now my allergies scattered throughout the year might be 2 - 3 weeks if added up--but still an improvement from the worst.

But also my allergist recommended that I do research on leaky gut syndrome, and so I did, and went on anti-dandida diets (candida--something I knew was out of balance from all the Antibiotics eyars earlier) three different times over the years.

Now my wife & I are preparing to try out the Eating for Your [Blood] Type diet soon.

Meanwhile I just ordered both milk & water kefir grains (just arrived today) to more regularly replenish probiotics into our diets.

Don't know anything yet. Just starting out this new phase, but I do know that while such things as antibiotics & steriods have their place, whole foods, and superior preparation techniques before the advent of refrigeration worked successfully long before modern medicine.


The reason I began browsing this forum, I was wondering if anyone here has tried the diet according to blood type. Type O is recommended to stay away from kefir, but when the book was written in 1998, only kefir from starters (not from grains) not a true kefir was available through standard commercial sources. So I was wondering if anyone here with Type O was using milk or water kefir grains without negative effects.

Thanks
