, My husband and I (and sometimes my daughter) runs on both these

probiotics, sometimes consumed one after the other.

The major difference between the two is (from what I have gathered from much

reading) that the Kefir microflora populates the gut (or re-populates it

after kicking pathogenic 'things' out.) Kombucha is more 'passing through'

and its emphasis is on balancing and detoxifying the body as a whole.

So, they are, indeed, complimentary.

Keep enjoying the 'good stuff',

, I consume both at the same meal or snack time. They seem to

work quite well together for me.

I don't know about spare Kefir grains....I emailed someone on the forum over a

month ago asking if they had any they could send (they had offered some to

another person) and never heard back from them.

If someone DOES have any, we would love to brew our own Kefir...we are both in

our mid to late 60's and are trying to stay as healthy as possible.

Have been drinking Kombucha since March and have seen wonderful results, but

are really interested in Kefir also.

We live in Oregon and will also be glad to pay shipping costs.

Hiya All,

if you google Doms Kefir, there's a worldwide kefir exchange, someone

should be able to post you some for the cost of the postage (there's a

list on the site). Ebays also an option, but the kefir exchange should

(hopefully) be able to link you to someone locally.

Hope this helps!

Could you please let us know where exactly on Dom's Kefir site we

would find the worldwide Kefir Exchange? I only found the link to

where one can buy from Dom... Or maybe provide the link to the

exchange page?

Thank you,
