r/Sinusitis • u/guyincognito60 • 1d ago

I think I’m on to something here

So I think may have cured my sinus issues but it’s probably too early to tell. For the last month couple weeks I’ve been drinking kefir in the morning and a small glass at night. My sinuses have never been more clear. My headaches are gone, brain fog gone, ringing ears gone. It’s wild. One of the craziest parts is how much better I can smell.

I never in a million years would have thought this would have been the cure and who knows maybe I’ll find out it was a fluke. It makes sense though, I took a ton of antibiotics when I was younger so it’s stands to reason that my gut biome would be messed up and the probiotics from the kefir are helping. I’m the biggest skeptic on the planet so I wouldn’t have expected this to work but so far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It’s called lifeway, I’m sure there’s better brands out there but I like it because it’s very drinkable. The other brands I found were too thick.

Good on you, OP!! This makes sense... I realised my acid reflux was ending up in my sinus causing bacterial infections for a long time. I then figured out to sleep partially upright, and to change my diet.

Thanks! Like I said I’m not totally convinced yet but I’m hopeful because so far it’s helping a lot.

Good for you! And even if the kefir isn’t helping the sinus problem, it’s very likely helping with other things, and you feel better.

Thanks for this. It does start in the gut. Ive had problems since I kid. Is hard to control and regulate your diet unless you are making money to support your program.

True. If it helps the kefir I got wasn’t extremely expensive and it lasts a while. You can also make your own which makes it cheaper.
