My Kombucha discovery

I have been drinking kombucha just about every day for a month now. 1-2 cups a day before meals.

The most significant health benefit for me has been that it has just about completely gotten rid of my acid reflux! I had a lot of trouble with reflux over the past few years which I have attributed to stress, poor diet, and being over weight. Though my bad gall bladder seemed to also play a role. Once I had my gall bladder removed the reflux got much worse. I felt as though I had a knife sticking through my chest much of the time. I tried several different medications and finally went to see a specialist who told me that based on my bad reactions to the medications I had tried, he recommended that I try going the natural route and treat it with diet and lifestyle modifications, and look into natural remedies or supplements.

I have tried several supplements that all help some, but drinking the kombucha regularly has helped more than anything else! Unless I eat too much of something I really shouldn't, or eat too fast, the acid reflux is virtually gone!

I intend to keep drinking it and sharing it with others. It tastes yummy too! My favorite flavoring is to add fresh or frozen raspberries to the second ferment.

This picture is a bottle of the pomegranate flavored kombucha that I made.

In case you don't know what kombucha is, it is a fermented tea. It is full of good enzymes, yeasts, and probiotics. Here is a link for more info.
