I would like to thank the person (Debby?) who talked about the probiotic 
substance called kefir.

As I am a low carber (BTW, Mike, thank you for your info with your wife's 
gestational diabetes, both my son and I came out fine, he was 6lbs 12oz), I was 
a little worried about the carb levels.

I have some kefir grains, and I'm oh so pleased with the fermented milk and 
will soon be going to raw goat's milk (with kefir of course)  as there is a 
grade A raw goat's milk dairy about 44 miles from where I'm at.

I'm so pleased not to have to deal with the acidophilus pills nor yoghurt 
anymore to put the good stuff back in my digestive tract after taking cs.  Now 
I have the best of two worlds and I'm deeply grateful.
