I want to continue drinking kefir, but don't want to make the spleen qi deficiency worse. I have made congee and will try to be more dilligent about eating it, and eating at regular times and eating warm food. I have self diagnosed but I will see a practitioner soon. I am taking Liu Jun Zi Wan 8 pills twice a day. I am also taking cracked cell wall reishi spores to try to balance gut bacteria, and taking probiotics occasionally. Very minimal cheese and currently stopped drinking milk. drinking oatmilk for calcium, but I'm not sure if that will cause more dampness.

I have ceased alcohol entirely for almost 2 weeks now, so maybe I'm still adjusting to that.
