>Hello Irina,

What do the call KT in Ukraine? My husband is from Poland and nobody I

spoke to has heard of it or kefir grains.And color me dumb but just to

get it straight you said women stop drinking Kt during pregnancy in

Ukraine?

And to the newly pregnant Congrats...As for doing other things in

pregnancy I say why chance it.If you have a miscarriage you will never

forgive yourself!My personal tip for pregnancy is to refrain from

bathing ( taking a bath) and take cooler showers for the 3 months when

all the important body parts are being formed. Due to the heat build up

in your body. They do not talk enough about the dangers of saunas and

defects from heating the body while pregnant.Melody

Straight copying from my reply " no women would not STOP " (missed a

coma after " no " , sorry)

It's called " Chainiy Grib " , translation = " Tea Mushroom " . Kefir

grains are probably not heard of because Kefir was/is propagated by

the actual small portion of the left over kefir (when you atart

another batch, so there are no " grains " ? Also, what generation are

you speaking with? Also are they " city folks " (as in not from

villages?)

Though I can not speak for Poland obviously. Ukrainians had more

influence from Mongols and Tatars historically and it might be that's

where milk fermentation came from.
