Hi ,

No, I've never experienced anything of the sort from any kind of milk

food; I've drank lots of clabbered milk that's sat out for a few weeks

and had white mold on top.

The only time I've ever had a negative reaction from food and felt

something in my gut was when I ate a fast-food meal of duck liver and

pig ears from one of those tiny " 3 choices " shops in Chinatown where

the food sits out cooked and ready to eat. I suspect it had sat out

for a few hours without very effective heating equipment. I felt

uncomfortable and sluggish for about a day.

There is nothing out of the ordinary about that well-aged kefir. It's

just a little more sour than most kefir. I don't see how there could

possibly be any reason to suspect any problems. If it was raw meat

that had sat out for a week, then I could see a little nervousness and

perhaps it would be best to only eat a small piece, but with milk it's

pretty humdrum to sit out for that long since the fermentation is so

effective.

Hi, Mr. Mike .

Do you ever feel a little ill or get a little irregular in the lower gut after drinking something like what you described below?

I approach situations like this nervously, although I want to try it all!

Angel: Such things in my experience are a sign of cleansing. The first time I tried kimchee I had the same thing happen to me. Sometimes it takes a bit for the body to adjust to living foods. As it was explained to me, there is a difference between rotting and putrefying. Rotting is when raw foods do their natural process, and break down into living organism processes. Putrefying is when cooked foods deteriorate, and this can be very dangerous and full of unfriendly bacteria one would not want to ingest. It is very difficult to actually get food poisoning from the natural rotting process(fermentation) of any living food, and many people ferment their foods for extreme lengths of time without harm. Natural cheese is normally fermented for great lengths of time. However those feelings you describe in the gut are a common occurrence of cleansing, when the body does it's natural process to rid itself of un-needed and toxic debris, often stimulated by raw living foods. Blessings & Namaste!
