Anyone drink raw goat's milk kefir?

Asked by MooCows (3216points) May 21st, 2016

I have been reading up about kefir and already
take probiotics. Today at the farmer’s market I
purchased some raw goat’s milk kefir. I am a
little hesitant to drink the raw milk much less
the kefir but I read there are big benefits to kefir.
Anyone else drinking it and how much a day?

Not goats milk but regular kefir. This was following a bunch of antibiotics which I had to take for a severe dental infection. I would typically drink about 8oz. Or so per day.

Since you yourself keep cows on your farm, I would imagine you’d know better the type of questions to ask the goat farmer regarding the cleanliness of their operation.

Aside from that, I don’t really see any other concern about the raw goats milk. Might have kind of a funky taste but they are goats after all.

I did have yogurt made from goats milk as well as drinking straight goats milk. But this was over 20 years ago when I spent a summer at an organic farm up in Alberta, Canada which had a few goats.
