A member asked:

I'm 31 and have had thrombosis on my right leg.i'm not fat, i used to drink water kefir, used contraceptive pill. do you think kefir cause it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the kefir: Contraceptive pills increase the risk of thrombosis. This risk is increased if the woman is a smoker or if she has a history of thrombosis in the family. Kefir would not cause this problem.
