Spider, what I don't get is what do the kefir grains feed off in the coconut milk? They are supposed to feed off lactose, i.e. milk sugar, but coconut milk from cartons and cans has very little, about a gram per cup, vs 13 grams per cup of milk.

I split my kefir grains and mixed them with some coconut milk from a can with an equal amount of whole milk, will see how it tastes. The downside of coconut milk is that it has little to no protein. Protein, specifically casein, may be causing the adverse symptoms like acne to begin with.

Also, you could make kefir with fresh homemade coconut milk. If you buy mature coconuts you might have to juice the coconut because they have lots of fibrous material thats hard to digest. If you have a young coconut, you can just scrape out the flesh and blend it then add the kefir, and young coconuts have plenty of sugar in their milk/water.

I don't know the science behind it, but I know it works.

This is how I learned to make it: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/homemade-...z2yR9Dm02c

Coconut milk might not have much protein, but it's full of healthy fat. Regardless, the reason I drink it is solely for the probiotics and healthy bacteria/yeast strains it provides. I know my stomach feels better when I drink it regularly.

Tastes good too.
