I take Kefir (i got the grain) where i add milk every night and then drain the liquid the next night and drink, rinse the grain and do this over and over... but someone told me to take probiotic sinci i have a lots of problem with whole digestif system its so slow slower then a turtle..lol
I taught that it was the same? Anyone know about this stuff???
Kefir digests Lactose and turns Milk into a Yoghurt type substance, but Yoghurt isn't made the same way as I understand it, so don't expect the two to be similar.
You might want to research into pro-biotic and pre-biotic yoghurts to find the difference.

They are same. But dont buy kefir that has lots of sugar... sugar is not good for u if u r trying to get into shape...I got kefir culture ans i make kefir at home.. its very easy... homemade is always better ....
I was talking about added sugar in flavored kefir... as amatlack mentioned.... people tend to buy sugary stuff more...
Probiotics need to be taken in sufficient amounts in order to really benefit your health.
2-10 billion CFU (Colony Forming Units) is protective and preventive...while 20 billion daily should be enough if you're recovering from an illness.
To get that much amount of CFU everyday, homemade is a cheaper option..
I was not aware of flavoured Kefir, I assumed from past research it was a singular product, no varients, so thanks for that.
It might be a good thing for people to take when on anti-biotics, as those can sometimes reduce Gut Flora levels and I believe that might sometimes cause a flare-up of C-Difficile.
Some claim to have even recovered from a flare-up of C-Diff, by having probiotics, rather than 2 weeks in hospital.
