Re: Hi - new here & question re: kombucha & prescriptions

[Guest guest]

Hi. I'm a new member. Have been watching and learning here, waiting

until I possibly had something to contribute. Aha!

I did a bit of web research about KT and RxMeds. Found that if

grapefruit or grapefruit juice was contraindicated by your Rx then KT

would be as well. I believe this would affect some heart, rheumatoid

arthritis meds and possibly blood pressure.

Best advice already given: check with dr., but could save you a bit of

time to know about the grapefruit link. I bet it has something to do

with shifting blood alkalinity levels.

Be well. Best,

Hi Margaret,

May I ask where you got that info? I stopped one of my heart meds

several mos. ago that said no grapefruit juice, but my PCP recently

was talking to me about starting it again. I don't think I will

start it again, but want the facts.

Thanks,

jan
