Eating kefir grains versus Drinking water kefir?

[beadmama]

Would eating water kefir grains have the same benefit as drinking the brew? Would it have the same natural pro-biotic benefit?

Curious question. I have no idea. We do both.

interesting. now that my grains are going crazy with the warm weather, we're going to be starting to eat ours as well.

Go slowly, don't eat a lot as they could cause "too much" probiotic shift and that leads to diarrhea and die-off of the "bad" bacteria.

How much is to much? I am still nursing dd so I want to be careful of what I pass off onto her.

I say a tablespoon a day, increase by a tablespoon more each week, if nursing, pregnant, or mercury fillings.

This thread reminds me that I really want to try to get some water kefir grains. Wish I knew someone locally I could get them from.
