Kefir side effects?

I drink kefir and kombucha everyday (as advised by my oncologist) and it doesn’t give me any issues at all. How much are you having a day? 

I have had a 3rd of a a 350ml tub each day.of the plain light yoghurt.

I stopped taking it and am trying peppermint capsules to see if they help.

I'm getting really stressed now in case my cancer has returned. I know I should ring my nurse but I'm scared!

Hi Drama 

I have found that I react to things differently since my LAR. I had an Ileostomy which meant a low fibre diet then a reversal which again caused a period of keeping a food diary and introducing 

My operation was August 21 and I’m still sensitive. I can’t have Kefir it causes gas and diarrhoea but that’s just me. 

I take pro biotic capsules to help my gut. My S.I.L has a Chinese heritage and has recommended me trying them. 
They seem to do the trick for me 

Best wishes 

The kefir seemed to make me worse so I've stopped it. As you say, it will affect people differently. 

I am getting really stressed even though my scan in January was fine.   It's so hard not to jump to conclusions at the first sign of pain. 

Thank you for replying.

It is very hard not to be anxious. 
If the pain persists you could get checked out by your GP although getting an appointment for a GP can be a big ask 

Can you phone your colorectal nurse?  I’ve found mine very supportive 

Hope things improve

 Artsie Hi Ann. Can I ask which ones you take please as I’m thinking of trying some - it’s that or get a dog to blame  x

Thanks.  Yes, my colorectal nurse is very good. I just feel that I don't want to bother her for such a small problem. I know I really shouldn't think like that.

If it doesn't improve by next week though, I will ring her.

Eileen.

Oh my.  You’ve just made me belly laugh.

I can’t believe seven years on and you’ve still got the same issue as me.  
Love the dog idea but mine are becoming vocal and I can’t blame anyone but myself. 
Thanks Karen 

Have a good day x
