I starting making kefir water a few weeks ago but I had to stop because I noticed that when I drink it it makes my stomack feels bad, I had stomack ulcers before, not anymore but I’m not 100% good so maybe is the fermentation of this water. My husband had the same reaction. Could you tell me if this water is not recommeded for people with stomack ulcers?

If you search google you will find plenty of information on the safety of water kefir consumption during pregnancy and with children. Most say that a moderate consumption is safe for pregnant mothers, but it is totally up to you.

I am just now learning about H20 kiefer and was concerned about even
the small amount of alcohol content that’s produced. I’d like to give
it to my small children without any fears and was wondering what the
alcohol content could be compared to in relation to fruit or orange
juice. Also, in case of a pregnancy, I’ve read that ALL alcohol
should be avoided, as even small amounts cross the plancenta and is
harmful to the developing baby. So, I’m a bit confused on all of
this and would gladly welcome any input. Thanks!

Shirley,

Have you tried the milk kefir grains in coconut milk? I also have a son who is autistic and I am just starting out with kefir. I have heard about using water grains with coconut water. Do you use plain water? I am excited about trying this!

I am a newcomer to making water kefir. Only been at it about a month. I have only used a lemon in it a couple of times recently. It does GREAT with just the white sugar and dried cherries. It tastes great. Just added some fresh squeezed lemon juice after the last batch had been strained – my kids loved it!

Hello! Has any of yall ever made the water kefir without the lemon, but with all the other ingredients? I just read through the Dom website & ouch my head is aching! Hope it’s okay! Thanks, Shanna

hi!

I’m just starting with my water kefir, and I’m wondering if you have to change the dried fruit & lemon every after change of water.

thanks!

I read that you can make your own kombucha SCOBY (aka mother, culture) by pouring some storebought kombucha in a dish and letting it sit out 3 weeks. I would research more for the details. I love kombucha, have been brewing my own for several months now. I find it easier than kefir.

What do you mean by leaving the culture unattended?

I do know if you don’t feed the water kefir grains every 48 hours they start to go into starvation mode. So for the most part, it’s good to feed them regularly.
