Bellyaching
It makes sense that my health problems are due to my gut. In the last few years of drinking I was spending forty minutes a day on the toilet - I often wished for a heated toilet seat - eventually my gut couldn't take it anymore and, maybe, I got leaky gut, or something like it. I'm not giving up kefir anytime soon, certainly not because of the cost. Once you keep making it the grains last forever, you're just paying for milk. It turns out it did take about a week for the grains to activate, it was pretty foul for the first few days, I should have waited before drinking it and relied on the kefir I can buy in the supermarket, which doesn't have the yeast you get in homemade but does have all the lactobacilli (probably the plural of lactobacillus). Kefir doesn't even have much carbs, which comes from the lactose which is fermented by the kefir grains. According to t'internet milk is 80% water, and lactose around 3 - 5%; kefir is 1 - 3% lactose. They don't give a number for the bacteria poo but it's high, very high... and tasty...
I've ordered a Heidegger for Beginners book from my library. I like some of his ideas, like the way he didn't believe in the division between subject and object, instead he said we are always involved in what's around us from the start. He also said that a technocratic civilisation makes us less 'human', Simone de Beauvoir wrote in The Coming of Age that our technocratic society makes us less respectful of the elderly, less willing to listen to their experience.
