How much water kefir should I drink?

Water kefir is a milder drink than say kombucha and so can be drank daily and usually,  as much as you like.  However, when first starting out with probiotic foods  and beverages the amount you  can take will vary depending on your current gut health and the probiotic food itself.

You might want to start off with 4-6 oz of water kefir a day for a couple days and see how your body responds. If you drink too much at the start you may have some loose stools, that’s normal but also a sign to decrease the amount you are drinking.   

Once the gut fills up with the good bacteria you will be able to drink more.   Soon you will be able to drink as much as you like, always using your body as your gauge.  GoodyGut is a probiotic rich drink so that you only need ½ bottle for therapeutic reasons, but magically gentle enough that you can drink  as much as you like.   In fact, my family likes to start off with a ½ cup in the morning on an empty stomach. But we continue to enjoy it throughout the day after workouts or hikes, for our afternoon school and work breaks and as an alcohol alternative at night.
