'What do you do if you react to foods like kefir, when we are all told how supposedly great they are for our health and that we should all eat this stuff? Your FREE Candida Report here: https://www.yeastinfection.org/free-candida-report Greetings! It\'s Eric Bakker from New Zealand, the naturopath. I have another question here from a subscriber. Let me see, \"I seem to be reacting to fermented foods. I\'ve tried plain Honeymate yogurt and kefir, but broke out in a facial rash within a few days. At first, I thought it was a dairy issue, so I made yogurt and kefir with coconut milk. The same thing happened again, a red, oozing, itchy rash appeared. It stayed for about ten days. I\'m wondering if I have just had too much too soon. I had about six ounces of yogurt for three days in a row and then I had kefir. I wanted to try again, but if I do, should I just have a small amount every several days? Because this rash wakes me at night and it\'s very uncomfortable, I\'m afraid to experiment. I need your trust and advice. Thank you.\" Well, I think many people overdo this category entirely of fermented foods and cultured foods. And when you see websites that came out with books like, \"Body, Ecology, Diet,\" people went crazy with fermented foods. They made far too much kefir, they\'re now eating too much sauerkraut and too much yogurt. So that\'s like saying to me, \"I wanna get fit, so I decided to take up canoe polo. I\'m doing boxing, judo, hockey, wrestling, I\'m going to the gym three hours a day, and I\'ve just started to do paragliding. And now I wanna do base jumping. But I\'m feeling bad. I wake up in the night and my body\'s aching all over. What\'s wrong with me?\" Why am I feeling like crap all the time. I\'m only playing 15 different types of sports.\" I mean, for Christ\'s sakes, if you\'re taking all of these types of things like yogurt and kefir, and no doubt there\'ll be some kombucha and maybe some sauerkraut thrown in there, it\'s overkill ... overkill. The gut can\'t handle this kind of microbial onslaught, so when you\'re pummeling the body with all of these particular acids like high dose acid lactic food, multiple types of yeasts in these food and bacteria, it\'s total, total overkill. What these websites don\'t tell you is you need to be very careful with the microbial balance in your gut, and make change very very slowly. So, for example, if you\'ve not had kefir before, you may want to start with a half a teaspoon of kefir per day, because it\'s such a powerful food. I\'ve got a book from the 1950s on ferments and cultures and they specifically state in the book not to take kefir if you\'ve got a digestive problem. Move it up fifty years down the track and everyone\'s taking kefir, recommending everybody have it. Move it ahead fifty more years from now and people will have the same amount of caution. They\'ll realize how powerful this food is. We go through these stupid trends all the time, and people don\'t seem to wake up. They just follow like sheep. They follow what everybody else says. So, the clinic has taught me kefir is the wrong food when you\'ve got a gut imbalance. Yogurt is fine, but again, if you\'ve got a very big problem with candida, and low beneficial count, you need to go very slow with yogurt to begin with. You may also have a dairy allergy. So you need to be cautious. Always be cautious with yogurt. Start with your tablespoon per day. And many people can gradually build up to a small bowl per day. Sauerkraut is not a problem. But if you\'ve got a leaky gut and a bad histamine problem, you may get itchy skin and strong reaction to it. So don\'t forget, kefir is a ferment and it\'s full of yeast. People don\'t realize that. You can actually get candida strains from kefir. You need to be very careful with this food. So, I hope that gives you a bit of trust and advice. Thanks for the question.'
