Does Kefir contain too much of the sugar galactose for Candida?

[Guest guest]

I have been searching archives and doing other research and wonder if

anyone knows any more about this than I do. I am on a Candida plan and

it says NO KEFIR ALLOWED because of casein and galactose. I have found

a lot of info suggesting that these are negligible concerns and many

have had great luck using it to fight Candida and raise immunity. I

think I may have posted awhile back to see if anyone had any experience

with this; so I am sorry it this may be redundant. Any thoughts on this

issue? Cheers! Crystal

Crystal,

I recently wrote an article for Natural News on kefir and included info

about kefir and Candida. Basically, if you ferment it an extra 24

hours at room temp after straining or several days in the refrigerator,

the sugar content is negligible. I have no idea why they would

eliminate casein as it's a protein, not a sugar. I would think casein

would only cause problems if you are allergic. I have brought my

candidiasis under pretty good control through the daily use of milk

kefir, water kefir, kombucha and fermented veggies. Hope this helps.
