I used to drink Kefir all the time years ago for the probiotics, and was wondering if anyone drinks this stuff and if there are any brands that are or aren't gluten-free?

Yep, my family drinks the Lifeway brand Kefir. They have all sorts of great flavors. So far I have yet to find one with any gluten in it, but there may be one. We really like the Pomegranate flavored Kefir from Lifeway.

I was just gluten-free for a year before I was Gluten-free Casein-free and had kefir all the time. Man, that stuff was good. I never found one that wasn't gluten-free, but that was two years ago, and it certainly could happen. I got the brand my store carried that wasn't Lifeway (can't remember the name - got that one because it's the one they carried first). I'd check with the company to be doubly sure, of course.

I drink the Lifeway as well. How do you pronouce it? I like to say keefer, but I'm not sure that is correct.

I think that's how you say it! I don't really know!

All of my earthy-crunchy-hippy friends say keefer, so I say it that way too :P

I had the hardest time wrapping my brain around liquid yogurt, but I got over it. It's tasty and good for you!

Yes! I loved Lifeway Kefir before I realized I was dairy intolerant early in my gluten-free days about a year ago. I am now successfully beginning to add dairy back into my diet (slowly). I haven't tried Kefir yet, but I am anxious to. I think it will really help that yucky gut feeling....it was strange, because in one way it made my stomach feel better while at the same time causing cramping and bloating....does that make sense? Anyway, I look forward to the beneficial effects of Kefir very soon without the bloating and cramping.

I liked the plain variety. And I think it's pronounced Kef er (short e in Kef) Somewhere on the Lifeway site is the pronunciation.

Enjoy! Yum! :D

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
