The main reasons why you might feel the above symptoms cud be that you have moved from processed to raw foods , you have started taking rich probiotics which kill the bad bacteria in the body or you have been taking antibiotics or anti yeast or anti parasitic due to which pathogens die in the body by bombing .In each of these scenarios, the change in treatment will cause substantial changes in gut flora and knock out a big portion of the bad guys. When that happens, they release toxins that need to be excreted by the body and so u feel the above symptoms which is good becoz you are killing bad things in the body so even if you are in pain or feel sluggish  for some days you will be in  much more healthier tomorrow .

Die-Off symptoms will vary from person to person, as each will have different degrees of infestation. If you are having severe Die-Off symptoms, slow down your treatment and reduce your dosage of probiotics and antifungals. The liver is your main pathway for eliminating toxins, and the Die-Off symptoms mean that it is being overwhelmed.

The good and bad of kefir  are:

• Good:  It is a very powerful probiotic  and can really fix a troubled gut.
• Bad: You need to start with very small doses, such as a tablespoon once or twice per day, and build up gradually over a week or two. Once you can handle a small glass at one time, you should be able to stop worrying about dose size.

If you have a lot of "bad guys" in your gut, kefir is strong enough to crowd out the bad microbes and you may experience a die-off which may or may not explain the symptoms you experienced as you know your body the best .

So guys if you experience die off after drinking kefir its a good news that your body is repairing itself ...after all all this die off pain is only making you and giving you a  healthier tommorow .

Note : You will only feel any of the symptoms if your gut has many serious problems . If your gut is healthy you wont have or feel any symptoms .....the severity of the symptoms depends on how unhealthy your gut is .
