I am on week one of eight ounces of kefir a day and it tastes fine. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the answer. I am still wondering what thyroid function has to do with it. I can also confirm she hardly exercises at all.

Thyroid hormones control metabolic rate. Lower levels slow energy use.

Thyroid hormones directly regulate sodium-potassium pumps that are essential for cellular ATP production.

Following your suggestions I added kefir, oats, other high-fiber foods, and plenty of green bananas. Then I needed a root canal and started another course of amoxicillin, which undercuts the microbiome work I was doing. Should I space the kefir and yogurt several hours after each antibiotic dose, or is there a better way to protect the biome?

I am not certain exactly how amoxicillin changes the gut community, but unless the kefir or fiber would interfere with root-canal healing there is no reason to stop them.

A Korean company, my home country, pushed hard to keep it off the added-sugar label.
