Kefir – how to make and drink

22/01/2013 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

kefirSome of the most regularly visited posts on this blog are those about kefir – so I am deeply embarrassed to have to admit that our kefir growing efforts have fallen on very stony ground…. Despite two generous donations of culture, and locating an accessible source of raw milk, between this and that we have failed abysmally to get going properly again.

After our initial success (see  my  post and comments in June 2011) we did nicely for six to nine months  – and  then our kefir ‘plant’ started to shrink instead of grow and finally sort of withered away….. I suspect that we may have been leaving it a bit short of TLC.

So I was delighted to find this very enthusiastic post on the Crohn’s End.com blog which gives you very specific and detailed instructions on how to get going. All you need is some kefir grains – and these days you can even get them on Amazon! Here to buy in the UK and here to buy in the US – or just put ‘kefir grains buy’ into Google and you will be offered a wealth of other sources worldwide.

Good luck!!

Disastrous Brexit fallout for medical cannabis users

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of a group of  ‘epilepsy mothers’, lead by Hannah Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, and her consultant, neurologist Professor Mike Barnes, a change in the law in 2018 allowed the prescription of medical cannabis for children with certain rare types of epilepsy, those in chronic pain and for those …

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …

Happy, if distanced, Christmas!

After this very strange and, for many people, horribly difficult year I wanted to wish you all a very peaceful, safe, healthy and hopefully happy Christmas. And offer you a little allergic chortle. Those of you who used to receive the FoodsMatter magazine will remember all of Christopher’s wonderful allergy related cartoons – the caption …

Good news for those with peanut allergy

The news may be grim on the virus front but there have been two bits of good news this month for those with peanut allergy. Earlier in the month The Journal of Allergy and Immunology: In Practice reported on on a trial which demonstrated that peanut oral immunotherapy is still effective after one year of …

Is it time to subject Vitamin C to serious scientific scrutiny?

Ever since 1970 when the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling claimed that gram dose vitamin C supplementation could prevent and alleviate the common cold, the argument has rumbled on – how effective can vitamin C supplementation be for respiratory infections both mild (such as the common cold) or more acute (pneumonia and, maybe, COVID19). The evidence …

Share a meal

Yes, indeed – what a lovely thing to be able to do – and one that we have been deprived of for all too long. But, we don’t have to be. Over lockdown my good friend Sarah Stacey, who lives in a tiny village in Dorset, started cooking meals for a poorly neighbour. Talking to …
