Kefir (for those unfamiliar) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir

British researchers have found that combining kefir with prebiotics is significantly more effective in combating inflammation in the body than taking omega-3 acids or prebiotics alone.

Prebiotics are abundant in various foods, such as bananas.
Therefore, instead of drinking kefir and eating a banana the next day, consume them together. Kefir and a slice of banana will double the benefits of these foods compared to eating them separately.

Replacing milk with kefir makes the most wonderful thin, lacy crepes.

Yes, that's true.
I have a special pan for pancakes, but I still have trouble making tasty, thin pancakes.

I have no idea if there's a basis here, but I'm assuming the beneficial bacteria is probably cooked off at that point.

Kefir and baking soda react to create bubbles in the batter, giving the pancakes a delicate, porous texture that is both airy and tender. Their slightly tart flavor, a contrast to regular crepes, pairs exceptionally well with a variety of sweet and savory fillings.

For sure. I think buttermilk has a similar application as well.

But in context of this thread I was more curious than anything about the beneficial effects persisting.

Yes, kefir pancakes are a healthier and more dietary option than classic ones, thanks to their probiotics and better digestibility. However, it's important to remember that they still contain sugar and are essentially a form of fast food.

Prebiotics are typically nondigestible fiber compounds that pass undigested through.

Probiotics are live microorganisms in foods intended to improve or restore microbiota in the gut.

I've never had kefir but it does sound enticing

It's been a minute since I've had a college class on this stuff, but is there validity to probiotics not being able to survive the acidity of the human stomach making their benefit moot?

I recall writing a report on something like this a lifetime ago.
