<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Great information, Roy! This latest series of posts that show a link between liver problems, bad gut flora and gluten explains to me why I feel so much better since I started making a cup of kefir part of my daily routine. My abdomen is less tender & swollen, I have fewer & less severe food reactions and almost no signs or symptoms of any type of infection for over 3 years. My college age son says kefir has been "life changing" for him too, because one cup daily for six weeks cured him of a stubborn fungal infection he'd fought for 2 years. He's been symptom free for three years now even though he only occasionally driks kefir. If you want to learn more about kefir, please don't ask me! I don't want the title of resident kefir ghuru! Search the web for answers to your kefir questions. The most complete website I've seen on this subject is Dom's kefir in-site. http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html Valerie in Tacoma *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List* ******* To unsubscribe, email: mailto:[log in to unmask] *******
