Probiotic foods like kombucha

[John Brunner]

I have done that too. I like thick yogurt. I have also made my own greek yogurt the old fashion way. I am lazy now though, even though it isn't hard to do.

I've never made yogurt, but should learn how. I get kidney stones and should have 3 servings of dairy per day to remediate any oxalate in my system. I doubt that I get much more than 1 serving. I hate milk. I always have, even as a kid. I am weaned. There is no reason for me to consume milk. Anyway...

The calcium in my glass of kefir counts for a little more than a single serving of (*shudders*) cow juice.

Ouch! Kidney stones are no laughing matter! I hate white milk too! I don't drink it at all, unless chocolate can be added to it. I only use milk in cooking and baking.

And there's the problem. Chocolate contains oxalate, so that option's off the table. And the only form of calcium that remediates oxalate is dairy. Calcium supplements make things worse.

I have heard that calcium supplements can cause kidney stones. At one time, I had a kidney stone, and that was enough!! I ended up in the ER at 3 in the morning. I was taking calcuim supplements regularly at that time, and I think that was the cause of it.

I go through a lot of whole milk yoghurt. Generally with hot sauce, cowboy candy, sharp onions, … . Nothing sweet please.
