Hi all! So I'm from California and organic foods and such are very abundant here.

I was wondering if anyone drinks kombucha for the probiotics?

I know for many it is an acquired taste but I really enjoy it. Could it help my stomach to heal? Just curious thanks :D

Funny you ask....

I love kambucha. I bought the brand made by the guy whose mom had cancer. seriously can't remember the name but it's been around a while.

Anyway, I noticed the last few times I drank it it really hurt my stomach. Same thing happened to my mom.

I used to LOVE that stuff.

I purposely drank one per day after I had a problem with Andes Mints (don't ask). The stomach cramping was worse and more noticeable each time i drank a bottle. I know it can be harsh on an empty stomach but I'd never had a problem until recently. I also had a problem prior to the last time...

I don't think it's gluten...quite frankly I don't know whats going on with it and me. My mom thinks they changed something when they yanked all kambucha off the shelves a few years ago after that contamination issue. She said it tasted different after that (she drank the same brand) - less umph.

But theoretically it should be good for you, as long as it doesn't hurt your stomach. I'd love to drink it every day.

Hi! Oh no! That's terrible that it messes u up. Maybe it's the brand u dink. Is it the kind that comes in gass bottle with all the bright colored lablels? I forget the name! Sorry. Maybe u could try that kind and they have different flavors. Cranberry is my favorite. I guess u could try making ur own. I've never done it. Kind of scared of a bad science experment. Haha

Yes, glass bottle and cranberry was my favorite. But ginger is great, too. I think they're all glass bottles??

Yeah, fear of a lethal science experiment keeps me from making my own :).

I drank kombucha for about two weeks, thinking I was helping my digestive system recolonize with good bacteria and then I read something about the yeast strains in the kombucha possibly having the opposite effect. Dropped it right away and now I stick with water and various herbal teas.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      I'm based in the UK and haven't tried that bread but in the past have got on quite well with Genius. Mostly I tend to eat bread with added seeds just because I find it more interesting. It is good to speak to another UK coeliac though as I am absolutely sure that up until recently a lot of the bread I was eating had added vitamins - but when I...

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      IMO, the information contained in this article is extremely important. Several medical science articles I have run across lately indicate that researchers are just beginning to uncover connections between gut health and diseases we would never have imagined as having a link. One example is Parkinson's. But this sentence caught my eye from this article...

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t diagnose celiac disease but can help rule out other causes of abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, or inflammation. Your doctor may be looking for complications, structural issues, or conditions that can mimic celiac symptoms. So while the CT isn’t part of routine celiac testing for everyone, it is normal if your doctor wants a more complete picture of what’s going on.
