Healthy, indeed. Earlier this week I was guided in some way to find Clif's written post about the beneficial effects of Lactobacillus reuteri (it was back in early July 2023 (the 7th), if you're interested). It has a link to one Dr Davies who has deeply investigated intestinal flora, etc. Clearly amazing stuff. I often make kefir by using shop bought organic kefir as a starter culture for making plenty more. Am now wondering if L. reuteri was significant in how well and vibrant Clif was looking on an interview recently (causing remarks by audience..A chat with JC? Not sure...). Anyway, thank you, Clif for that July 7 posting and its link to Dr Davies; am now converting to L.reuteri as a possible step up from the tasty kefir!! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ™

Kefir is a symbiotic culture that contains L Reuteri.

Best source.

Don’t bother with the pills- take the time to source quality dairy and learn to culture kefir.

Myself and a friend have been making L.Reuteri and L.Gasseri since June. The docs name is William Davis, MD who wrote Wheat Belly.

Its a fascinating bit of cultured biome worthy of review. Denser muscles and a bunch of other bennies.

I have been making each one separately, they have a slightly different texture. I wonder if both could be made in the same batch together?

I have been making this for the last six months, amazing stuff. Here is my recipe (based on Dr Davis). It's beyond delicious.

This is what I use, from Amazon UK,

BioGaia Gastrus Tablets (contains L reuteri DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BWGC5JZC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

"Only Needed For First Batch!"

Inulin:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082Q3S6BR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Starter: After you have made the first batch, set aside 1/2oz for the next. You should not need the tablets anymore unless you forget to save from your previous batch.

4oz double UHT cream

1ltr UHT full cream milk

Makes a delicious yogurt better than Muller! First batch might be split and not look great (it tastes fine) use at least 1/2oz of your first batch to make the next etc. Second batch if cultured for the correct time and at no more than 104F will look and taste amazing. I "highly" recommend the LUVELE yogurt maker either single or quadruple containers:

I've started with inulin, but for the last few batches, I tried raw potatoe starch. I saw explosive growth using this starch.

A cool thing to do, is freeze the yogurt in ice cubes form and use one, each time you start a new batch.

UPDATE on L.Reuteri

I have been regularly consuming this for about 3 months now and I'm happy to report that my acute alergy to Gluten has been greatly mitigated. In fact I'm back to eating pretty much everything except any gravy that cotains gluten.

Fab info, thank you. :)

That yogurt does make your skin wonderful. Probably the same happens internally. Kefir is also great, especially when you make it yourself. Hope you enjoy the yogurt.

Global Healing Center.com produces the Best and Purest supplements on earth. Paratrex, Oxy Powder and Latero-Flora are my favorites.

Raw Organic Sauerkraut is great, Costco sell it

When you perfect it, put how to do it on here! I'm no good at experimental stuff like that. I would probably wind up with salmonella. But the capsules are costly, not too bad, but more than you would pay to make your own.

YouBoob search for kefir. It's easy, been doing it for ten years. The store bought stuff is worthless as it does not have the numbers that one needs to get the gut right. I make the reuteri stuff also, but after four months of consuming it, I find no difference in my health. Kefir, though, I would not be without!
