<p>I've been alternating between young coconut kefir and goat milk kefir. For the coconut, I drink 2TB in the morning. For the goat kefir, I drink a cup, either in the morning or at night. I don't drink both kefirs on the same day- although I'm not sure if that would be harmful or not.</p> <p>So my question is, how do I know how much kefir I should be drinking? I get no gut reaction with either. So, should I drink more? And if so, which is better for gut flora? Coconut water or goat milk? And should I just stick with one kind of kefir or is it OK to mix the two?</p>

<p>Depending on what part of the world you're in or your caloric goals Kefir may be a staple in your diet. However like it has been discussed on PaleoHacks humans are inherently lactose intolerant. Goat Milk Kefir is doing you more harm than good, because although your getting some high calories, the way it is breaking down in your body it probably isn't nourishing your cells properly and since your cells are the endgame when it comes to nutrition your actually just wasting your money on this. </p> <p>Coconuts are considered by many to be paleo super foods.</p> <p>Kill the goat, eat the meat and buy a coconut tree. After that, I would say eliminate any sugars added for taste and go crazy.</p>

<p>Both are fine. You are probably getting different bacteria from each one.</p> <p>You don't need a large quantity to help with your gut flora--<em>and</em> it's fine to drink as much as you want, as long as you are feeling good &amp; meeting your goals (whatever they are.)</p> <p>I drink 4-8 oz of raw goats kefir almost every day.</p>

<p>When I was 8 years old I used my allowance to buy a whole quart carton of kefir, and downed it in the car on the way home. It came right back up, so that was definitely too much at once. I think your stomach will let you know if you've had too much. From a budget and health perspective, I agree with Dragonfly, you don't need a ton of it to derive the benefits. </p>

<p>Have you tried water kefir? Especially with a 2nd fermentation of grape juice. Even your Dr Pepper addicted spouse might give up soda if you started making homemade water kefir. I drink milk kefir in the morning and water kefir in the evening and have not experienced any problems, so I think you can safely drink both of your different kefirs in the same day.</p>

<p>OH PLEASE!! This isn't that complicated! Drink any kind Kefir you want! If drinking milk Kefir gives you the runs then switch to coconut or water Kefir. If it doesn't then drink a glass or two a day... come on! it won't hurt!</p>

<p>If you are lactose intolerant only drink kefir that has been fermented long enough to have allowed the lactose in the milk to be mostly digested by the kefir bacteria and yeasts. No biggy.</p>
