Kefir drinking during pregnancy?

[Guest guest]

Hi, just wondered what you expert type folks think about drinking kefir

during pregnancy. I can't imagine cutting it out of my diet, if I skip

my morning kefir I get all bloated and crampy. I would appreciate your

ideas on this.

Thanks

Hi Darla,

First, Congratulations!

Kefir is food. Predigested milk if you will. Go with your gut feeling. I bet

your gut says it is just fine to continue drinking kefir.

Another consideration is if you would give it to a baby, it is certainly

okay to take while pregnant.

Thanks Marilyn! I will think on it some more, I guess the thing I am

mostly concerned about is the small amount of alcohol. I will talk

with my OB.

Thanks again

I usually just leave the lid off altogether but I do sometimes notice a

hint of alcohol (I think...). Is there some way to check the alcohol

content? I do like it fizzy, someone recommended adding fruit and then

putting it in the fridge, YUM, but not something I'll be drinking for

the next several months.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
