I need to take time to read the labels or do a GOOGLE search.  As for wind - sometimes I have enough to fly a kite 

Hidden sugars cause me to have an irritating clearing of throat issue which is why I've changed to Agava syrup from British Sugar in my cuppa.  Although we try to buy local/British sometimes I have to bite the bullet [what ever that means]

I use plain milk kefir in my smoothies and it has definitely helped my ibs issues, first few weeks were a bit rough, because it’s a lot of probiotics you introduce, but beyond that, it has been great. Not sure about energy, because besides kefir and fruit, I also put a scoop of plain whey protein and creatine (which does give energy) in my smoothie.

I think I'm on a learning curve

There are sugar free ones clkd, which are the ones I have

Before I have my breakfast in the morning, I have a small measure of the liquid drinking style one which I sometimes dilute with a little water and drink it down so it puts a good lining on my stomach as such (as I feel a lot of my good gut bacteria was destroyed by a horrible prep I had to drink before a medical procedure I had recently)

For a while now, I also sometimes after my meal in the evening have the thicker yoghurt style one - again sugar free version from Aldi and I add a teaspoon of both chia seeds and flaxseeds to it and then top it with raspberries and blueberries

Bioitiful - vanilla.  Like thickened yoghurt so not unpleasant.  Opened on Sat night as I had run out of omeprazolol which meant increasing levels of reflux/heartburn 

I will buy it in future, as it probably won't do my digestive system any harm.  However, I may need to use a straw as there was a lot of it left on the glass which seems a bit of a waste!

Just to say hubby has drunk kefir for a while.  I recently got Bio & Me Kefir Berry Boost from Tesco as on offer and he really praised it.  Other he likes and the price is good is Grahams( the Scottish Dairy) from Lidl or Homes Bargain that have fridges. Think its £1.35

I tend to stick with a yakult daily and bio plain yogurt.

Why is he drinking it, 4 me it's something different and won't do my gut any harm.

Bought a Kefir yoghurt 'too good to waste' today and 2 bottles of vanilla flavoured.

I suspect he has read it had some great health benefits in Mens Health magazine a useless item he got monthly free of charge from his bank!  Glad to say he doesn't get it now .  The latest is payayas read they were something special.  Me well I just leave him to it!!  Must admit I really put my foot down with the black eyed peas, steeped over night then cooked for 30mins or more - stunk the place out.  If he wants them he buys them in a tin.....

 . put foot down with firm hand, that's what I like

Got a Ninja blender when had surgery as needed soft puree food (mouth surgery) Yes he loves making smoothies!!! Add kefir to it too

Now he loves the thing......however he never manages to get pips etc of sides.....yep but him straight.....sparkling when he uses it now  

But to add he is a star bless him.
