For every family, the situation is familiar when a few sips remain in a bottle or bag of kefir, which, well, no one wants to drink. So they are lonely. Until the expiration date goes out, and kefir is not sent to the sink. After all, it seems like there is nothing to cook out of half a cup, and no one will drink it for reasons of personal safety.

Kefir is one of the very useful fermented milk products, it tones the body, improves digestion. It is prepared by fermenting skimmed or whole milk.

Benefit and danger

In the production of kefir, more than 20 microorganisms useful for humans are introduced into milk. Among them are bifidobacteria, milk mushrooms, lactobacilli. As a result of fermentation, they are supplemented and saturated with vitamins, various proteins and nuclides. The end product is a viscous, healthy drink.

Circumstances of toxemia

Intoxicated by this fermented milk product can lead to the most severe symptoms. Dehydration and death are not excluded.

Under what circumstances is kefir poisoning possible?

Violation of storage conditions

There is a misconception that a fermented milk product cannot deteriorate in the heat, because it is already sour.

If the product has been in a warm place for a couple of hours, then it can not only lose its beneficial qualities, but also harm the body.

Expired shelf life

In this regard, there is also a common misconception that the longer fermented milk products are stored, the more useful it becomes.

It is categorically impossible to consume expired kefir.

The one-day drink goes for sale immediately after fermentation. This product contains less microbes and less alcohol. Therefore, it poses no danger.

Two-day kefir contains the optimal amount of beneficial bacteria

In kefir two days old, the percentage of enzymes and beneficial bacteria is optimal. Therefore, it is neutral for a living organism. A three-day one has the greatest content. For this reason, carbon dioxide is formed, which increases the production of secretions, gastric juice and hydrochloric acid.

Lumps and frothiness are observed in such a drink. Such kefir should not be drunk by drivers and people who cannot stand alcohol.

With ten days expired, kefir is deprived of everyone useful qualities, because all microorganisms will die by this time. But the harmful ones will be enough to provoke poisoning.

Violation of the tightness of the package

In case of violation of the integrity of the container in which the drink is located, favorable conditions are created for the reproduction of dangerous bacteria - streptococci, staphylococci, etc.

Therefore, to the question whether it is possible to drink spoiled kefir, the answer is unequivocal - it is impossible.

Poor quality raw materials

Quite often, unscrupulous manufacturers add preservatives to milk, nutritional supplements that increase the shelf life of the product, and flavorings.

Intoxication symptoms

A person poisoned with kefir will experience similar symptoms as with any food poisoning. They are expressed:

Diarrhea. At the same time, the stool is watery and frothy, with a fetid odor.
Vomiting reflexes, turning into debilitating vomiting.
Cramps and bloating. Constant bubbling due to increased gas formation.
Colic.
A sufficiently high temperature, especially when the toxemia is caused by pathogenic microorganisms.
Violation of the CCC. A strong heartbeat begins, blood pressure surges.

In the case of severe forms, convulsions, loss of consciousness, orientation in the surrounding space, impaired respiratory activity are possible.

Emergency help

A reasonable question of what to do arises if you happen to be poisoned with kefir. Definitely, you need to call an ambulance, but you need to act before the arrival of the doctors.

Self help

It is necessary to follow the standard sequence of actions:

Induce artificial vomiting. To do this, prepare a weak aqueous solution of potassium permanganate or table salt.
Apply a cleansing enema. To do this, you can use ordinary water or jelly. It can be replaced with a decoction of chamomile (if available).
Drink any sorbing agent ( Activated carbon, polysorb, enterosgel, smectu).
Drink in small portions (20 grams every 10-15 minutes). As a drink, you can use still water, decoctions, compotes.

There are still a few important points you need to know about.

You can not drink medicines, the action of which is aimed at stopping vomiting and diarrhea. You cannot take antibiotics on your own, without the advice of a doctor.

Inpatient treatment

The treatment protocol in the clinic is as follows:

intravenous administration of glucose solution and saline;
antibacterial therapy according to the indications of bacterial culture;
forced diuresis;
symptomatic therapy in order to improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system and central nervous system.

Rehabilitation therapy

Subject to the normalization of the physical condition, the patient is shown dietary diet... On the first day, it is recommended to refuse food, but only drink abundantly.

Gradually, you can enter into the diet baked apples, ripe bananas, biscuits, crackers and viscous porridge... Then supplement the main diet with broths with chopped low-fat meat, vegetables and pasteurized non-fat dairy products.

To restore microflora, take probiotics.

Avoid toxemia

You can avoid getting poisoned by following simple rules:

purchase products in specialized stores with refrigeration units;
pay attention to the date and shelf life;
for children, purchase fermented milk products made in dairy kitchens or with a label indicating a product for children;
do not store open containers for more than 3 days.

In other words, toxemia with this fermented milk product can be obtained mainly through negligence.
