What makes kefir different from yogurt is that kefir is fermented with

bacteria and yeast, while yogurt is just fermented with bacteria. Elaine's

position on kefir is more reflective of the intestinal diseases than autism:

she feels that there is the chance of cross-reactivity between an

already-overstimulated immune system and yeast from kefir. (Saccharomyces

boulardii is illegal for the same reason.) She has said that kefir is OK

for someone whose gut is well along the road to healing.
