Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm wondering if this ever happened to anyone else. I have been making milk kefir for many years with very good results. After pelvic radiation I couldn't tolerate many foods, but kefir completely cured that situation. About a year ago I wanted to try water kefir also. I used spring water and natural cane sugars for the first 24 hours and then did a 2nd ferment with 100% grape juice. It became very carbonated and tasted great. I did notice that it was a bit like sparkling wine. Shortly after starting this, I needed some blood tests. My liver function tests were elevated slightly. I didn't think much of it, but 6 months later they were elevated even more (over the normal range). I quit drinking the water kefir for two months and the liver tests were back to normal. I very rarely drink alcohol so maybe I have no tolerance. Does using a variety of tea cause so much alcohol to form? I imagine grape juice is the worst.
