A member asked:

Is it safe to have kefir if you have gerd or esophagitis? can it help at all?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Not familiar with kefir. If you have GERD or esophagitis it should be treated by your family physician and/or a gastroenterologist with an FDA approved medication. These conditions if left untreated properly, can lead to more severe problems.
