This page makes it sound a lot like kefir!

But if it's kefir, how can it be lactose free?

I guess it's not kefir, but something some what similar.

I'm TOTALLY curious now.

I thought that Hawaiian stuff (poi, I think) was the closest

thing to edible snot that existed. Maybe poi and viili are a

neck-and-neck tie in the race for " most like snot " .

From this page of cultures for sale, I'm guessing viili is sort

of like yogurt, sort of like kefir, but a from a different strain

of bacteria altogether:

I hope you feel much better soon Cassi. I think I remember my aunt making a concoction like you mention. We are part Finnish and she always called it "filia" and you are right, it looks and tastes kindof like snot/yogurt. she used to make it and let it sit to ferment for days--I don't even remember what she made it out of--but she always insisted it was good for you and tasty (never appealed to me either)

What is viili supposed to do, is it actually supposed to help you get

over symptoms quicker than just waiting it out? For me, I usually

just need time to let everything pass

Any, Viili is high in nutrition, and easy on the stomach. I went thru the nutrient list and its as follows.

per 100g serving (2 per container)

300 calories

70% protien

13mg (37%) calcium

1g carbohydrate

There is a host of vitamins and stuff that vary by what fruit is used, but active culture is

3.5 bcfu bifidus

1.4 bcfu lactobacilils lactus

1.2 bcfu lactobacillis planterum

So, basicly, its more friendly bacteria to add to my other friendly bacteria to get my tummy to like me again.

I am soooo extremely anemic right now, and really dont want to have to get in there for a blast of iron, I guess I will choke down the crap.

, your family must be from the western side of Finland, they call it viilia there, (v is a very soft pronounced letter so sounds like fee-lee)

Thought I would TRY a GF cookie last night before bed.... BAD mistake! I sure hope this lil missy is happy with the damage she caused my gut. I dont wish her harm, but I sure wish she could spend a day in my body!!!

Best!

It seems to be Super Yogurt!

I like yogurt, especially homemade yogurt. But I've never seen

those particular cultures for sale around here.

YOU CAN DO IT CASSI!

Get well soon.

Hey Cassi,

I'll have to find out where they were from--I am not sure, but that sounds right..it's so funny that you mentioned viilia, hadn't heard that term in years and it brought back sweet memories of my grandmother, Elvi Dahlbacka--now how is that for a Finnish name?
