I tried some fermented milk when I was travelling and I got the shits for a week

What are the floaty lumps like? It looks a bit like milk with kefir grains floating in it, ie future kefir. If the lumps are kind of gelatinous mucus-y wrinkled things, that would increase the likelihood that this is the right answer. Also if you keep it for a while and it thickens and goes more acidic.
They look yellow and not very mucus-y. Should I just leave them there and wait for it to evolve? If so, how would I know if this is going to kill me? lol
The thing is kefir is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), so in different places with different temperatures, and milk from different breeds of cow with different diets, it will be a bit different depending on what exactly is dominating.
I'm not an expert, but i would leave it in there a bit, then look and smell carefully, and decide whether or not to taste. If it seems safe enough to taste, only have a bit at first. Then monitor the results.
Unlikely to kill you stone dead just from a sip. I'm willing to risk it 😁.
Alright, 12 hours later kept in the fridge and this is how it looks like 😅 I'm tossing this smelly curd of spoiled milk
Thsnk you for your reply! I 100% agree. I'm getting to the conclusion those lumps are just some degraded milk proteins and that it won't become drinkable any time soon lol BUT let's see what happens, thank you!
