pedalphile Posted October 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2018 I mentioned it once, in another thread, and referred to the fact that it renders milk tolerable to those with lactose intolerance, an important factor where it originates, where milk is a mainstay of the local food economy and agronomy, but this is not why I make it and drink it several times daily, on an empty stomach, no, I do this because I believe it helps tame my IBS, as it is packed full of both pre and probiotics, so taking it on an empty stomach is the best way to give them a chance of reaching the lower gut intact, where the little fellowes can do their good. Making it at home is easy peasy and a superior product to anything bought in a shoppe, those products are usually if not always pasteurised, which will not do at all, No Way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Ghandi with his goat milk, I am both glad of the relief, and sad that it involves the cow milk, which most of my adult life I have not taken. ?

I must have. Yes, lime zest is what I use when I don’t have kaffir leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how all this dairy stuff is pastuerized, I think this is supposed to ferment on its own, and not have to have live cultures added back (which is what I am guessing is what is happening with store-bought).

Why would you think that? God knows early humans weren't drinking milk from cows, goats, and sheep, so as we decided that was a fun way to get cheap milk, we've also added other better improvements along the way.

Prophet Zacharia Posted January 31, 2023 Share #19 Posted January 31, 2023 I again thought this was about limes.
