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.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @trents thank you! I have only been taking 20mg 1x a day. Maybe I need to increase it.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
