Hi Debbie:

I started doing my own probiotic using Kefir grains (http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html). But since this whole Candida episode started, I decided I'd cease from ingesting any dairy products for a while and move to including more protein in my diet (similar to a paleolithic diet).

Today, I use cultured cabbage juice as a probiotic. I must say that it is an acquired taste; but for me, it almost tastes like lemonade with some fizz. Here's a link explaining how to make it:: http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/09/18/cultured_cabbage_juice_make_the_best_lactobacteria.htm .

If you prefer, you can always juice the cabbage and drink the juice, but allowing it to culture (to ferment) for 2 days or so helps it to become more potent. It might get very 'odorous' while fermenting due to the sulfur it contains; I avoid that by covering it with surround wrap, then by screwing a cap on it, but not too tightly.

Good luck. :)
