If kefir is allowed to do a 24 hour ferment on the grains, and another 24 ferment off the grains, can it be considered okay for the paleo diet?
Thanks-

Is there anyone here that uses both paleo and kefir?

I have the same question: i'd love it if someone can answer coz i miss my kefir!!

My naturopath, btw, told me that apparently i can have small amounts of kefir (not every day) after being on paleo for 6 weeks strictly at first.

My diet is mostly Paleo but I've never made homemade kefir so I can only report what my gut says about store-bought kefir:
cow milk kefir was OK in small quantity taken once a week but not much more than that or upset/rumbling. SCD yogurt gives me same results :-(

goat milk kefir was not a problem but I tried not to overdo it, not every day in other words.

I'd like to make goat milk kefir at home because I don't have a local source, only when I shop out of town but don't know if I can make the commitment to it if it involves keeping the grains alive. Almost like having a pet lol.
