<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, Listmates! Just wanted to turn in a tip on something I discovered that is probably OK for those who are lactose intolerant. I have lots of problems with lactose, but Lifeway Kefir I can definitely handle. I found out that it is more tolerated than yogurt, and is loaded with probiotics (the friendly bacteria we want in our GI tract!) I bought the plain, lowfat, and have been guzzeling it down in large amounts every day for the past two weeks. I e-mailed the company at [log in to unmask] and asked whether it was gluten-free. They answered promptly with a "Yes", it is gluten-free, in fact so is the flavored kefir. Their website is www.lifeway.net. I have absolutely no financial interest in this company. I just want some of you who struggle with lactose problems to know about something that is very digestible. Best of health! Christie in TX
