3 Ferments For Gut Healing | SIBO | Fermented Homestead

[@carriethompson5937]

I love to combine my sourdough discard, milk kefir, and freshly ground flour. Once combined it sits out overnight to really come alive and it’s ready in the AM to make waffles or pancakes. It’s always a hit with my kids and packs a fermentation punch!

[@nolagirlhomestead]

Clabbered cream makes the best 2-ingredient biscuits ever. Works like buttermilk in any bread

[@shellyek6237]

Lol you crack me up "from your yapper to your crapper" 😂😂😂😂this was a great vlog!

[@angelicaharrison1014]

Gonna start using this 😂

[@electropocalypse5877]

I can't express how elated I am that I found your channel! I've had IBS/inflammation going on since childhood with a diagnosis for autism. I'm just now getting into fermenting and sprouting with a low FODMAP diet. I read that marine collegen is one of the best for rebuilding the gut lining. Thanks for inspiring us in your journey towards health!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I can remember getting probiotics for one of my babies and the GI doc said to make sure it had Lactobacillus Ruteri in it!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Absolutely! Dr Davis mentioned how important it is for kids to have it in their system from a young age

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Anna that color is beautiful on you! Really brings out your eyes.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

kefir is incredibly easy. And we LOVE it!!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yay!

[@tracyg4783]

Anna, have you ever seen Sue Becker from Breadbeckers? She goes into the gut and skin benefits of freshly milled grains. That might be helpful for you.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I haven’t but I’m subscribed now! Thank you 😊

[@cariemorgangraff4829]

Sue Becker has changed my life.

[@berchtas-botanicals]

So happy I found your channel! I'm also a (new) homesteader with some pretty serious long term gut issues, including SIBO & potentially leaky gut. I've finally convinced my partner who also has some pretty wacky but undiagnosed gut issues to work our way towards a ketovore/carnivore elimination diet. Here's to healing 🥳🥳

[@tammyohlsson7966]

You have encouraged me to start again with sourdough. Hubby got sick I gave up and tossed it. Never even tried bread. :( Should have dehydrated it, but was totally overwhelmed with life. Here’s to both of us having SD in our world! Blessings!

[@FermentedHomestead]

You can do it!

[@paulacarter8987]

Wish you the best on this healing journey. It can be done. I have SIBO and I’m now able to eat sourdough bread without issues. It was a long healing process but know you can do it.

[@TheChefLady4JC]

Came over here just now from Heather's The Kneady Homesteader and quickly subscribed to your channel after seeing this video. I'm suffering from SIBO and most likely SIFO (Fungal Overgrowth). I just got Dr. Davis' book Super Gut and last week completed my first 36 hour L Reuteri, Gasseri, and Coagulans "yogurt". I, too, don't want to live the rest of my life eating Keto-carnivore and I want to be able to branch back out after my gut is healed.

[@B2wm0m]

So exciting! I started making milk kefir a couple months ago and am loving it! I also bought a special instapot so I can make the L Reuteri. I still need to order my starter for that though. So glad you’re getting good results.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

super interesting! I started making my own kefir a few months ago, and have split the grains for some family and friends and they are enjoying it too. I feel much better on days I have 4-8 oz of kefir a couple of times per day.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Very cool! I could never remember to do it several times a day so hats off to you

[@MsCarletta]

Life got in the way and I dehydrated my sour dough starter. Now I'm on a 21 day day and had to slow my milk kefir down in the fridge. It's so nice to be able to store or fermented goodies and bring them back to life when needed.

[@FermentedHomestead]

It sure is!

[@bookiebird28]

I am so glad you are posting this. I need to heal my gut, but have gotten so overwhelmed with the information out there that I have gone into shutdown mode.

[@katie7748]

Same. Digestive issues run in my family and yeah it's...the overload is real :-/

[@FermentedHomestead]

I do that too when I’m overwhelmed. There is a lot that goes into healing the gut but anything is better than nothing 😃 try learning and implementing one thing first, once you’ve done that and it’s a habit add in another

[@moniquekilmer7618]

I enjoy all your education wrapped up with some humor- this is all so serious but I love that you honestly share quite personal digestion problems- that will help many of us❤😊

[@grannaboo03]

Last year ( I think) Mary’s Nest made a video of this process & she said her second & 3rd cultures were much creamier and more smooth. I’ve been meaning to try this….i have just started making Milk Kefir successfully this month. Can’t wait to Fermented February

[@debbiefockler9890]

When you were talking about your gut issues, you sound just like me and my problem. I too haven’t had bread without any bloating until I wanted to try sour dough. I have an active ferment going. I’ve made sandwich bread, pancakes and cornbread with it. I feed it a day before I use some of it. I then feed it and when it has risen, I place it in the refrigerator until I need it again. It’s a learning curve and another KZbin channel has the easiest method I have found. Since of the long fermentation time, my gut seems to be able to digest it. I will be watching your videos (I have already subscribed) and hope to get more ideas from you on the gut healing journey.

[@belieftransformation]

Great success to you & healing! I’ve done 4 batches of the L. Reuteri yogurt & love it! I do milk kefir, sourdough, kombucha & fermented veggies (that I forget to eat😉). My hubby drinks milk kefir regularly & it has helped lower his blood pressure. These living foods are fun to create with! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🇨🇦

[@FermentedHomestead]

That’s encouraging to hear!

[@kandi8640]

It’s wonderful that you are knowledgeable about what works for you. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@susanhenley8240]

Kefir is so yummy and so good for you! Looking forward to learning how to make my own.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I've not heard of long fermented sourdough! I feel like I'll be going down that rabbit hole soon...

[@FermentedHomestead]

It’s just left to rise overnight with all the flour incorporated to break down the gut ickies

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

@@FermentedHomestead oh that's how my bread recipe goes! Well, wonderful!

[@indicalangford3974]

I made the soft sourdough rolls recipe from little spoon farm for Thanksgiving and they were a raving hit. If you use that recipe and add a touch of honey they’d be pretty close to Hawaiian rolls.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Sounds great!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

DANG that is the thickness I need from my yogurt!!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Right?!

[@gerrimurphy4654]

I have gut issues too! Nightmare. Hope your healing is successful!!!!

[@georgiaporter7828]

Can't wait to make sourdough starter.

[@towadiwayajameson7487]

I have to say that this Fermented February and you have inspired me to start fermenting. I have my glass weight and the nipple burping lid sorry the pickle pipe, looks like a nipple on a baby bottle and got my cabbage to get started. Thank you.

[@MM-oc3sb]

Someone else may have mentioned this, or you may actually be leading up to it, but Einkorn wheat has an ancient different DNA (unaltered) and gluten structure than modern wheat. Better on gluten sensitive tummies. There are resources explaining how to use as a sourdough bread. ❤

[@katiedenessen829]

I have such a hard time figuring out how to add (and remembering to grab for)fermented foods to add to my meals on a daily basis. I plan on making a ferment or two and leave them at the very front on my fridge so I always see and remember them. I really want to start incorporating them because considering I have an illostomy and I don’t absorb nutrients as well as other people, it would probably be a great thing for me. I LOVE my sourdough starter though! I’ve kept it alive for a year now. Just this last week I finally started dehydrating a bunch so I don’t screw myself over if anything were to ever happen to it. Sad I missed the live last night! Hope you’re doing well 🙃

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh it’s so simple to add them! I just cook whatever I’m having and add it on top or in a dish on the side, nothing fancy at all

[@AzaleaBee]

I keep small quantities of some of my ferments in small jars in a basket in the frig.. various kimchi, dwaenjang (similar to miso), kefir quark (which I use just like sour cream etc). I add a tablespoon or so of each to a segmented relish plate (something that one might use for a olives, pickles, etc.) As a side note, those relish plates are so awesome for l kids meals as well. A dab of this or that with the main dish so they can taste and decide what they want more of.

[@magen2271]

Sauerkraut is delicious on top a sweet potato with grass fed butter. It’s also good atop scrambled eggs with raw cheddar. Lastly, very delicious atop a burger, even just the patty, with raw cheddar. I bet if I would be good on a homemade sourdough cracker (homesteading with the zimmermans has a tasty recipe) with raw cheddar too.

[@lynahowells8413]

Will you be heading up fermented February again this year?

[@robingirven4570]

Being a type 1 diabetic, I’ve found that sourdough requires a lot let insulin than the cr*p you buy at the store. We are exclusively eating sourdough in this house! Makes so much sense. Thank Anna. I’m awaiting your live tonight. 😊

[@ShellyCap9]

I started making L. Reuteri this year.

[@annastasia3581]

From your yapper to your flapper🤣 i love you lol and I will be using that in the future. On a serious note. Thank you for all you do and all the wonderful knowledge your share with us. I'm so blessed that I found your channel!

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m happy you find it helpful 😊 I love sharing what I’m learning!

[@jessicakivett7838]

How timely! My friend is mailing me some of her dehydrated sourdough starter . Please share some of your recipes!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Perfect! I sure will 😊

[@francesunderwood336]

So interesting. Glad its helping you

[@elizabethbordeaux2741]

Hello. I just found you. Where have I been? Your humor is refreshing, and I truly appreciate the information. I am new to this. Thank you.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Welcome! 😃

[@marygrott8095]

I definitely want to try making sourdough bread! Mary over at Mary's Nest suggests that beginners start with rye flour, so I ordered that online because my store didn't have it. I admit I'm a bit intimidated by it, bit not so much that I don't want to at least try. Amd kudos to your husband for at least taking your suggestion!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Rye is better for making a starter but it can be pretty overpowering to use the flour in bread, it has a very distinct taste and is pretty dense

[@bearrootshomestead7210]

Love that you are documenting this journey! Would love to buy some sd starter from you if you decide to sell. Blessings from our whole crew

[@FermentedHomestead]

If I do I’ll mention it in an upcoming sourdough video 😊

[@jasonatoms]

I’ve been following the advice from the book “Fiber Fueled” and I’ve been feeling great after two weeks!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Great to hear! I’m happy you’ve found what works for your body 😃 Fiber is my nemesis and I’ve found tremendous healing with meat so it’s not for me

[@jamiecole2144]

This video just reminded me that I really need to get my kefir going again! Time to raid the freezer for my grains. I have been wanting to give sourdough a go as well. A 250yr old starter?? Wow, that's impressive, I would be nervous about ruining that one too! I haven't tried making sourdough yet but it seems simple. I really just want it for pizza dough because we like a lot of pizza in our house, so there would be no pressure for trying to make bread with it. I have never had success with a yeast bread ever! lol

[@dhhannie]

Love this!!

[@amyl.3236]

I love fermenting! I haven't tried keifer yet, but I get a bottle each 5-6 weeks when I grocery shop, as my reward!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Love it!!

[@gkseeton]

LOVE your ferments videos.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yay!

[@AzaleaBee]

I've never made Sibo. But I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for this video.

Great Video Anna~! Very Educational! Loved it!

[@wandakelly2173]

My poor daughter rides the struggle bus. I personally have gotten better as I’ve gotten older. Cucumber, kimchi, yes, please!

🥰

[@hamakuahomestead7741]

❤❤❤ fun! 🤩

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Sorry about my serial commenting... Question. Do you happen to know if it's okay to ferment the L Ruteri in raw milk?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Never apologize for extra comments! 😊 From what I’ve gather the first couple of batches should be made with UTH half and half then it can be switched over

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Thank you!!!

[@roberthill5353]

Awesome

[@ridingtheroad185]

Thank you for addressing gut issues on your channel!! I have Ulcerative colitis and every day is a new day to deal with gut issues that can vary widely! Some days I can eat "this", and then I can't. Pork seems to be the one meat I can have issues with and fruits and veggies I have to look at skins on them and the fibers that many are made of.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh goodness, that’s so tough! Have you tried organic pork? Factory farmed meat (especially pork) is pretty gnarly stuff, it could just be the byproducts you’re sensitive to? Produce skins are not great for me either! It’s all that darn extra fiber. Have you tried going carnivore for a time to find some healing? I’ve seen a lot of people be helped by it (myself included)

[@ridingtheroad185]

Yes even getting my pork right from the farmer. If I smoke it I do better with a home raised hog and some cuts I do better with. Crazy GI issues. @@FermentedHomestead

[@heathergeyer1780]

Are you making dr Davis yogurt? I’ve been making it for about a month and oh my I feel so much better. As long as I don’t eat dumb stuff. Next on my list is milk kefir. I’ve also been making curtido. I love it so much. I too have leaky gut and sibo. ugghh it’s a stubborn thing. That’s why I started making soap years ago. I’d just break out into a random rash it seemed and started any time I encountered certain things. Fragrance being a big culprit. Even smelling it. Eventually you will need to add in fiber to keep the good guys happy and then get all the post biotic. And ignore my first question now I’m far enough in the video to see you answered it. Much love and blessings.

[@nolagirlhomestead]

Great results from 'clabbered cream' based on Dr Davis' 36 hr fermented yogurt ! I sleep like a baby Bible based, goat yogurt healed Abraham in his old age.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yes, that’s the yogurt 😃 Fiber is good food for the little buggers but until it’s not torture I figure it’s best to avoid

[@FermentedHomestead]

Fun fact @nolagirlhomestead the yogurt was actually milk kefir according to Middle East lore

[@robingirven4570]

I’d be screwed if I had to be carnivore. I like very little meat in my diet. I feel for you. I need to learn to ferment carrots! I’m going on a search in your videos!

[@babyana231]

We love super yogurt. We been eating it every morning for 3 months now.We have been eating it with our homemade applesauce, blueberry and cherry compote. I was suffering from bad acid reflux and thought I have SIBO. I have been taking some turmeric too. Felt better but not totally 100 percent yet. I had bad sinus in my left nose too and what helps me was grapefruit seed extract and also sleep with diffuser on with thyme, oregano and eucalyptus. It feels so good to be able to breath better again. Love to learn to make some sourdough. I really want to repopulate our gut with probiotics. I want also to learn how ferment vegetables and salsa. Do you have some recipes? Thank you for sharing .

[@FermentedHomestead]

I'm so happy it has helped you so much! GSE is fantastic for so many things. Have you tried a netti pot? Works wonders for me when i'm all stuffed up. I sure do! I have a playlist with every fermenting video I've made, just go to my homepage and click on the playlist tab and you can find just about anything you're looking for. Also next month is "Fermented February" collab with a new fermenting video every day of the month from lots of creators.

[@babyana231]

@@FermentedHomestead Thank you mentioning netti pot. I will for sure going try it. I will be looking to your fermented videos. I am always fell intimidated doing fermentation but I got to try it. My gut bacteria is in shambles. I know I need them. I heard eating fermented foods is much better than taking probiotic pills. Thanks a bunch.

[@lisad3381]

I have SIBO too. It sucks! I started making sourdough almost 2 years ago. Pork causes me issues with my SIBO.

[@ShellyCap9]

Excited to see your sourdough. I have been keto with a brief stint in carnivore(that was the worst really messed with my gut) for 5 years. About 6 months ago I started adding fermented foods to my keto diet, started with Kefir. Now I make my own kefir and other ferments thanks to you! I can tell I am getting better not just gut but hormonally. I just tried sprouted sourdough yesterday - so far no issues, my blood glucose had normal response and no bathroom issues. So I am being very optimistic. I LOVE sourdough so if I can add this back in with small amounts and it's fermented I think it will be great! What do you think of the Einkorn Sourdough? I learned about that from Donna Schwenk

[@thoward8918]

Thank you for this video. I am using milk kefir currently, for me and my dog. I am researching to find something to make the other yogurt. Because I did hear that it was great for healing you digestive system and am looking for something my husband will actually eat.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I know cultures for health has some heirloom yogurt cultures that might help

[@COWELLGIRL]

So Sis is this stuff really helping you out , that's alot of different ferments , I just wonder if so many is as good as finding one or two that work perfect

[@FermentedHomestead]

Starting out a small number is best so you’re not overwhelmed. However, each ferment has different bacteria and properties that offer different benefits so variety is best

[@thoward8918]

I am trying to become more low carb as I love bread also. I am working on sourdough with einkorn flour to see if the better flour will lower the glucose as my husband is diabetic and I am trying to find things that will help with this health without him losing all that he loves.

[@FermentedHomestead]

That’s a great plan! Let me know how it works for him

[@thoward8918]

@@FermentedHomestead between your site and “Becoming a Farm Girl” you have been integral to my fermentation and canning journey (have not started canning yet but Fermentation is the LIFE for me now). So I will definitely update you. Getting the starter going has been the issue that I am currently dealing with. But I am determined to get it going from start.

[@clairequinn8665]

Hi Anna how do you like Southern Missouri. I was in Missouri for a week .Lovely place. I was in Branson. My Son has digestive issue. Like you his gut blows up after eating. He is in massive pain. Doctor told him he would be on laxative forever. Any idea what I can make him? He is 46 yrs old😊❤ .

[@FermentedHomestead]

We like it here a lot, super cool people and atmosphere. I would encourage him to take a SIBO test (usually available through a naturopath). It’s hard to say what you can make him but any ferment should help get things started, in VERY small amounts

[@gfc_in_the_oh9067]

When I have tried fermenting everything tasted too salty for me, which is odd considering I love my salt. I followed the ratio that I read was right, and used pink hemylain salt. Should I be using a different type of salt?

[@jillbritton2676]

I would be interested in how you long ferment your sourdough. And where did you get your starter?

I was gifted it by a viewer

[@maria_w311]

Hi Anna 👋🏻

[@parkerpropertyservices8670]

If I heard you correctly, you bought your kefir grains from Etsy? Do you have a particular seller you recommend? I'm new to Kefir, and just deciding what to buy. Thanks, Anna!

[@FermentedHomestead]

It’s hard to recommend an Etsy seller because stock is pretty limited. What I did was search “raw cow milk kefir grains” (type in whatever type of milk you’ll be using) and search through the listings, read a lot of the reviews, and message seller with any questions. I chose mine because it had a combination of 6 different grain sets which makes the bacterial profile vast and strong.

[@ButtercupAndFernHomestead]

Are you aware which of these varied ferments has the lowest histamine or histamine triggers? Kombucha triggers asthmatic reactions for me.

[@FermentedHomestead]

If I had to guess I would say the milk kefir, it has the shortest fermentation time

[@Nana2threeNZ]

Hi there :) do you use fresh or dried kefir? I believe I have a leaky gut, so trying to get it sorted. Do you take probiotics as well, or just the kefir and yoghurt? Thanks

[@FermentedHomestead]

I use fresh kefir grains. The dried powder is good but it doesn’t come close to the real stuff. I only take probiotics for specific purposes but not in general. I have so many fermented foods there’s no reason

[@Tinymama411]

Do you make Chow Chow?

And fermented foods fixed my circadian rhythms in a profound way. But I agree that being fat adapted is kinna ideal. I added potatos in small amount. If I lighen up on protein I can afford to taste more sugar. I guess? I don't know
