Holy smokes, I've never seen so many strains together in one place.

Re: Dom's Kefir in-site _

Hi Sally's kefir link above is full of really useful info. It's got a long list of strains used in kefir which I'd not seen before. It's about half way down on the web page -I'll paste it below. I was interested to see the strep salivarius/therm isn't common in kefir. We're avoiding strep therm in probios and actually we've just withdrawn Metabolics L.Salivarius and Combocillus because Eddie was reacting to one or both.
