A fermented milk product, like yogurt but thinner. It's actually made with different cultures than yogurt, but it tastes a lot like extra-tangy drinkable yogurt.

It is a liquid yougert drink that has a bit of a tangy taste. You can get it the supermarket in the dairy section. The homemade version I hear has a different texture (far less sugar) and has way more probiotic strains in it. The one in the stores has between 10-12 common probiotic strains and 25-30 billion CFUs. I highly recommend trying it sometime. It is good for your gut health.
Growing up I drank milk all the time. Now, I really only use milk if a recipe calls for it. I had weight loss surgery 4 years ago and I recently discovered that I experience dumping syndrome (because of the surgery) only with cereal, so the only other reason I would buy milk is now not an option.
Thanks for your replies. I've never heard of it or seen it before. I only eat plant based yogurt. I won't eat milk based yogurt and I don't think I would like kefir because of the dairy. Thanks for reminding me of using probiotics. I will have to get my brother to order me some vegan probiotics.off Amazon. When I was at home I took them every day. I heard they were good for treating IBS. They did not help me with IBS but I want to take them anyway.It is a liquid yougert drink that has a bit of a tangy taste.

For IBS, you might want to check out Spore-based probiotics (e.g Baccilus Coaglans). Some people with IBS claims it helps them. People with leaky gut and SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) have said it helped those conditions as well.
Here is an article I came across on the subject. I hope you find it helpful.

I love Kefir! I use plain only (flavored has too much sugar in it) and add frozen blueberries to make a smoothie. Great thing about smoothies - you can add stuff to them easily and you won’t even taste it, like psyllium husk powder or whatever.
The only way I'll have milk is with turmeric and honey as the Hindu people drink, and hot. Otherwise I do not like milk.
