Prompt delivery. I use this kefir to make a morning smoothie. I was never a breakfast eater; I feel better after just 3 weeks. My digestive system is more predictable and I feel healthier in this respect too. I was a sceptic but quickly became a convert.
Wonderful kefir and wonderful skin care. Cured my IBS and eczema. Reduced my asthma medication more than half. Can't speak highly enough of the wonderful goats! 😁
I can’t recommend this company highly enough. I tell all my family and friends about them. We have subscribed to the kefir shipments and after only 4 weeks my bloating has significantly reduced along with the clearest skin in years. We love everything about this company’s products and ethics.
It’s magic potion! I suffer from microscopic colitis which also gives me psoriasis. The Kefir cleared it almost completely in 5-6 bottles. (2 ish weeks)
Since starting my course of Kefir my psoriasis has cleared and has been in remission for nearly 2 years
I was a little sceptical when friends recommended Kefir as I had tried with little success previous options. I am now on my third bottle (Original Kefir) and can honestly say I can recognise the difference in how my body has positively reacted. I have followed the recommended daily dosage with excellent results. Without hesitation will now subscribe.
Always speedy fast service and the kefir is very tasty. The flavour takes a bit of getting used to (three days was all for me) but I have noticed an improvement in my digestive processes already. I highly recommend you give the kefir a try.
Excellent product. Excellent service. I’ve been drinking this kefir along with the chuckling Goat prebiotic for two years. I wouldn’t be without it. I no longer suffer with diverticulitis, indigestion or heartburn. All three of these conditions ruled my life a few years ago. Thank you everyone at Chuckling Goat.
I have been using chuckling goat’s Kefir now for a number of years and I swear by it! There’s nothing that I’ve tried before in my 15 years of suffering with IBS that has helped me more. It completely changed my life and I recommend it to anyone and everyone!
Really impressed with this company. Great communication and speedy delivery. The Kefir has really improved my Ulcerative Colitis and I am now taking the prebiotic too. Highly recommend.

Our kefir is very powerful! The recommended serving is 170ml per day. If you experience any discomfort or detox symptoms please decrease to 1 TBSP per day and gradually work up to the full suggested serving over time. Any questions about this process we’re on live chat 8am – 8pm weekdays. We’re here to help!

At Chuckling Goat, we believe real kefir should be alive, traditional, and naturally full of life. Thanks to advanced scientific analysis, we now have an even clearer picture of the remarkable live culture in our kefir, with 95 detected live cultures identified to date. To us, that is a reflection of the richness, vitality, and authenticity of the kefir we have always made.
The list includes the following strains, click here for the full list.
We recommend a daily dose of 170ml. This is a sufficient amount to help boost your gut health. You can drink more if you like – just increase gradually. If you feel any discomfort, start with 1 TBSP daily and work up to 170ml at your own pace.
We usually recommend taking the kefir first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, and leaving around 15-20 minutes before eating solid foods. We say to try and avoid taking it in the evening because it can sometimes give you an energy boost.

Chuckling Goat kefir is generally considered safe to consume during pregnancy, including the trace amounts of naturally occurring alcohol it contains. Like all traditionally fermented kefir, it contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, which is a result of the natural fermentation process. This level is comparable to that found in other everyday foods such as ripe bananas, fruit juice, or soy sauce, and is legally classified as non-alcoholic in the UK and EU.
Kefir can be safely given to children over the age of six months. Always start slowly, with just a drop or two for babies, and 1 tsp daily for younger children, and work up to the full age-appropriate dosage over time. If anything gets worse instead of better – skin, tummy, etc, then cut back down and start the slow-increase process over again.
• 6 months – 1 year = 20ml
• 1 – 2 years = 40ml
• 2 – 3 years = 80ml
• 4+ = full dosage of approx 170ml
As we’re not medically trained, we’re unable to advise on the use of Kefir alongside specific medications – we’d recommend consulting your doctor/pharmacist.
Our Kefir isn’t completely lactose-free, but it’s very low in lactose. Goat’s milk naturally has a bit less lactose than cow’s milk, and during fermentation most of it – about 99% – is broken down. This means most people with lactose intolerance can enjoy it comfortably. However, it’s still not suitable for anyone with a severe lactose allergy.
Yes, for many people with dairy sensitivities, our Kefir is easier to digest than cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is naturally A2 (no A1 casein), with smaller fat molecules that are gentler on the gut and less likely to cause inflammation or mucus buildup. During fermentation, most casein is broken down by the kefir cultures, improving digestibility and releasing beneficial compounds. However, some intact casein remains, so anyone with a severe casein/dairy allergy should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional first.
We use fresh goat’s milk sourced from St Helen’s, known for its high quality and freshness, as the base for all our kefir and dairy products.

Some mild bloating or gas is normal when starting kefir. This happens because your gut microbiome is adjusting and undergoing positive shifts as beneficial bacteria begin to establish themselves.
Yes, it’s a common response. To help your system adapt, start with 1 tablespoon per day and gradually build up to the full serving of 170ml.
You can store your Kefir in a cool dark place or in the fridge, as you choose. Higher temperatures will increase the rate of fermentation, making the kefir fizzier and stronger in taste over time.
If your Kefir arrives warm, there’s no need to worry – it’s perfectly safe. Just place it in the fridge if you prefer to drink it chilled. Because Kefir continues to ferment at higher temperatures, it might taste a little fizzier or tangier than usual. This is normal and doesn’t affect its quality – some people even enjoy the extra tang!
Original Kefir is made with whole goat’s milk, while Kefir Light is made with semi-skimmed milk. Both go through the same fermentation process, contain the same 27 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, and are rigorously tested for quality.
The main differences are nutritional: Kefir Light has slightly fewer calories and less fat, a bit less sugar, and a touch more protein. Taste is the other key difference – Original has a richer, creamier flavour, while Light is milder. Both provide the same probiotic benefits, so which one you choose comes down to personal preference.
