Podcast Episode 246: Benefits of Each Cultured Food

Nothing has influenced and changed my body and life more than cultured foods. Each food has different strains and gives different health benefits. I thought I would lay it out for you which ones bring the health benefits you are seeking. Tune in to learn more.

Donna, I wish I could have you come over and do a class in my kitchen! I feel so inspired whenever I listen to your podcast, but I'm intimidated to actually try to make any of this stuff by myself. I know it would be better than even the best you can buy from the store!

I went to one of her classes and it was super easy to make.

[@christinelamb1167]

@@mayiakashmurr3000 Where does she do classes? I checked her website, but didn't see anything about in-person classes.

Kefir is extremely easy to make

[@chadknox3960]

She is inspiring for sure. I just keep waiting to feel good!

Thank you for reposting!

[@christineyunkcribb774]

Thank you very much. I use some of your cultures. They are easy to prepare and taste very good.

Thank you!

Hello Donna. I hope you are well. Thanks for the research and the sharing of info. I’m currently making the Sibo yogurt for a friend who is experiencing sibo. If effective, I’m hopeful she will start making it on her own. Question for you, I froze some of my last batch of gas and rut yogurt and am using that as a starter. I’m fermenting it at 106° in the metal pot of an instant pot for 36 hours . Is that a good temp for the combined bacteria? Hopefully not too high above the 100° you mention in making the ruterii separately.

[@user-cw1rb4tz5i]

L reuteri kills off over 100… so she mentioned that it has to be 100 or less strictly.

[@POS3278]

I thought you said you had an almond milk yogurt. I looked and looked on your website. I can't find it.

[@lisaholzman3869]

Hi Donna, I put one capsule of saccharomyces boulardii in with my L Rueteri, is that ok or did I just ruin my batch😮

[@cathymcmahan7530]

Have you tried the L reuteri in kefir yet?

[@fredfalcon1347]

can you make Kefir with A2 milk ... ?

[@nanettemi800]

You say new users will experience gut problems. Can I make a lower bacteria count and then build up as I feel better ?

[@A.B.1957]

Hi Donna, I’ve been culturing Kefir for 2 years now and on my 2nd batch of L. Reuteri. I had to back way off my Kefir at one point; I had started at 1/2 cup and went to 1 cup but my body wasn’t adjusting after months so I took a break and then came back to it starting with just 2 T and working my way up from there. I’ve now added in the 2 T of L. Reuteri and working up to 1/2 cup daily. Next I want to work on the one with both Reuteri and Gasseri. Here is my question…..how many of these cultures can we possibly work into our day? Do you skip days on some of these or try and consume some of each one every day, lol? I’m a bit confused on this. Is it okay to have the L. Reuteri and the L. Gasseri plus kefir every single day or will it eventually be way too much of a good thing and cause other issues? Thank you Donna❤

[@robinschroth7413]

I would love ❤️ to know the answer on this too. I think She does have a video on KZbin that says how many cultured food should I eat in a day

[@NeonblueIndustries]

Thank you Donna and Dr. Davis! All this has been a game-changing in health. I've never slept this good in decades! What the world needs now is Oxytocin, sweet Oxytocin! My L.Reuteri has gotten so strong now I've had to half the starter amount, reduce the temp down to 34°C and even then - it's done in 24hrs! If it goes to curds and whey Use the Whey for starter ice cubes and the curds in the salads.

[@kathymclaughlin2248]

Can you use any of these cultures in soy milk?

[@Cocobean4]

Every time I make kefir and I love making it or Reuteri or Gasseri, I gain weight how come?

[@unclesalty7778]

Please! Donna which one of your cultures on your site is good for constipation! I’m so sick of this !

[@mayiakashmurr3000]

Enemas are the best for that.

[@jillcollins2348]

Thank u so much for this information I was introduced to Keifer as a kid in the 60’s my mom would have me take a swig every day🤣 now in my 60’s thanks to u I have learned to make it myself and am spreading the word with friends. can u tell me how much one should be consuming of both kefir and l reuteri on a daily basis? Can they be consumed together? Thank u for your time❤️

[@8mora888]

. @@jillcollins2348 Try 1/2 cup of each per day.

[@8mora888]

Are you supplementing with Magnesium glycinate? It can help constipation.

[@kellyname5733]

@@jillcollins2348 I separate my L reuteri/grasseri yogurt from my kefir. I want each probiotic to do thier work without interference or competition from another.
