Anyone into kombucha?

DH got me into kombucha drinks. At first I thought they were vile, but I acquired a taste for them and now I'm addicted. They are fermented so it kind of tastes like when juice goes bad... Lol. But they have probiotics in them and i have felt so much better since drinking them. My stomach problems have improved and my skin has been glowing!

I drink the GT Synergy kombucha drinks... They come in bottles at health food stores. I love the fruit flavored ones!

I had tried them at Whole Foods and liked them but they had stopped selling them. I wonder if they will bring the fresh ones back.

They are pricey Chat Icon

I can't get them too often - the cheapest I have found them were at Fairway for around 3.19, I think....

Usually between $3 to $4 a bottle at Whole Foods. Dr. Andrew Weil doesn't recommend drinking Kombucha. There's no good, solid research backing up the claims.

Whole Foods pulled it from the shelves because they wanted the manufacturers to relabel the bottles to include the alcohol content. It's back now.

Usually everything I do is research based. I am on the fence about Andrew Weil in general.... but I personally have felt better after drinking them. I suffer from IBS and my stomach has felt so much better since I started drinking them.... I don't subscribe to any miracle ointment, or juice, etc... but I have to say, I have felt a difference drinking these.

I would never pay $4.00 for one drink....Chat Icon

You found legitimate research that supports the claims made by Kombucha makers? Done on humans? Please send a link if you have one. I would be very interested in reading it.

Re: Anyone into kombucha?

No - I didn't. I meant to say that I usually follow research, but in this case I took a chance based on things my husband and friends have said drinking it. Usually not my style, but what the hell... My stomach is so bad I was willing to take a chance...

Ohhh, ok. My sister has GI issues. Maybe I should give her a heads up. It's not like it would hurt her, right?

It didn't hurt me... but I will say this... The first week I did it, TMI - I... ahem... went a LOT.... I almost stopped because I was like What the EFF, but then once I got through that, my stomach stopped bothering me!!!
