Kombucha and young children

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I just posted a message about pregnancy, but I have another question;

My boy is 1 year and 6 months, and usually takes ages to get over a

cold (about 8 weeks). The GP is useless, the naturopath wants me to

take him off wheat and milk for a month, but because he drinks a

bottle of Kefir a day (no other 'normal' milk), I am hesitant to take

that away for a whole month.

I personally think that Kombucha really could help him, although in

small amounts, build up slowly to maybe an ounce or two and given it

quite diluted in his water bottle. Again, I read only words of

caution, but would like to know everyones experiences with young children.

We avoid all additives in our food, eat organic as much as possible,

no lollies etc. but still do groceries at a big supermarket. We live

in the city center of a big town in tropical Queensland. Adding cod

liver oil daily has helped, his last cold lasted two weeks.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thank you for your time,

Jiska
