Foods - Kefir - Ailments / Situations Where Used

Kefir is appropriate for dealing with digestive tract problems. It works as an intestinal probiotic, replenishing beneficial bacteria. It may help with malabsorption syndrome or poor digestion.

Those with lactose intolerance/deficiency can benefit from kefir as most of the milk sugars that cause digestive upset have been removed during the kefir-making process.

Kefir may also be helpful in treating constipation, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
