Husband has all the symptoms in bold and kefir I make has helped.
I use raw A2 type protein milk.

We usually associate acne with the teenage years, but dermatologists are finding that adult-onset acne is becoming increasingly common, especially in women, in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s, and is on the rise in the UK. A 2015 study of 92 private dermatology clinics found an eyebrow-raising 200 per cent increase in the number of people seeking specialist acne treatment.
Recent research has linked acne to the state of your microbiome. A Polish report from 2015 stated that "An imbalance in the microbial community may cause pathological conditions... of the skin such as . . . acne."9
However, taking probiotics has been found to lower levels of stress-induced hormones in the system, so heading off the conditions that can trigger acne flares. Probiotics may have the additional benefit of helping to reduce anxiety and depression.10
Emerging research also suggests there may be a link between a low-glycaemic diet and an improvement in acne.11
Kefir is a potent drink made by fermenting milk with a living kefir culture, called 'grains', containing multiple strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast. It has long been known that ingesting the live organisms in these probiotics can aid digestion and boost immune-system function. But now, studies are finding that kefir can also improve many skin conditions, such as eczema, acne and a variety of allergic skin conditions by acting on the immune system in the following three ways:
(1) suppressing the production of allergen-specific antibodies to immunoglobulin E (IgE), so blocking the production of histamine, which stimulates allergic responses12
(2) preventing allergy-producing antigens from passing through the intestinal wall,12 and
(3) enhancing the action of protective Treg cells, which prevent the development of autoimmune disorders.13
In recent years, as scientists have learned more about the role of probiotics in the human microbiome, interest in them has soared. But all probiotics are not created equal. Liquid probiotics, which contain bacteria living and thriving in their own medium, thereby increasing in strength and numbers over time, are more powerful than products containing dried or dehydrated probiotics, in which these bacteria die off over time.
So, if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or acne, it's more effective to opt for the exponentially greater strength of a multistrain probiotic like kefir, which contains a vast number of beneficial bacteria and yeasts working together as a symbiotic whole and containing many more strains of good bacteria than a probiotic pill or powder.
And, crucially, the bacteria in kefir are 'non-transient,' which means that many of these strains survive the digestive process to actually reach the large intestine, where they can then achieve long-term benefits. This is different from 'live' yoghurt, which contains 'transient' bacteria that are killed off by stomach acid during digestion.

How can you tell if you or a family member has a damaged microbiome?
• On the skin, microbiome damage can show up as e
czema, psoriasis, rosacea or acne1
• In the joints, it can show up as rheumatoid arthritis2
• Within the gut, it can manifest as
food allergies3 and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)4
•
In the nervous system, it might show up as chronic fatigue5 or as a nervous system disorder like multiple sclerosis (MS)6
•
In the lungs, it can present as asthma7
•
In the nose and eyes, it can show up as hay fever or seasonal allergies8
•
In the brain's behavioural centre, it can present as anxiety and depression.9
. Maybe that's because what comes out of your body is not reliably representative of what it wants to keep?
