I'm the same way with cow milk usage. I don't drink milk but I occasionally eat small amounts of organic cheese, yogurt, and kefir. I also totally agree with you about probiotics and enzymes. I've been using plant based digestive enzymes for years (I like Enzymedica's product, Digest Gold). I don't take probiotics regularly but I do take them on occasion.

I want to thank you for your sense of humor. I started thinking about which animals are "okay" and which aren't when a client told me that of all mammals, mouse milk is the most similar to human milk. I'd love to find out who came to that conclusion. And was there a taste test involved? How many mice does it take to get enough milk to make a bowl of cereal? It's important questions like these that motivate me.

I can't keep up with kefir. Water kefir requires 2 tablespoons of sugar each time it is rinsed. Milk kefir requires me to get to the store often for milk. When I leave for a few days, I have to start over when I get back. Too much maintenance. Unlike sour dough.

I am using probiotics daily now; but want to get to the point where I can just use prebiotics (rice bran, oat bran, fiber). Then I can just use probiotics occasionally. Or fermented food.

I don't use an enzyme supplement anymore. I've learned that it is best to get the body to make its own; or to expect that food will have its own. There are some supplements that will cause the body to be lazy in its job; similar to laxatives.

I just can't imagine someone trying to milk a mouse.
