Gloria,
What a wonderful name!
Yes to the rice milk. My wife has exhibited problems with cows milk and has
been using the rice milk for the past 2 weeks and is doing much better
intestinally. I am with the understanding that the benefit to this kefir is in
the action of fermentation and not specifically due to the medium used. The
consensus as I have read all of these km emails is that the medium used has one
kind of sugar or another and this feeds the mushroom. The feeding has a
byproduct of fermentation and that fermentation produces the pro-biotics we are
searching for.
The resident expert Dom in Aus. on this can correct me on this if I have
understood incorrectly

Hi,
I am new and I live in Crystal Lake, Illinois, 49 miles NW of Chicago.
Does anyone know a place where I can get the kefir grains?
Also, do you have to make kefir every day to keep the grains alive?
Will it work well and have all the probiotic benefits if I use rice milk or
nut milk instead of real milk?
I wonder if it would work with ground flaxseed.
Thanks,
Gloria
