Some thoughts on the amount of kombucha to drink

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I read some of the posts and I cannot believe how much kombucha some of you

produce daily. I guess that some of you share it with family members. I was just

wondering if there is such a thing as too much kombucha? Did anyone ever had any

side effects? To the people that drink a lot: How much kombucha do you drink in

a day?

On the other hand is there such thing as a minimum that someone should drink in

order to benefit from it?

Thank you

Alina

Ha yes, Alina, my daughter alone carried off 8 bottles of KT with her to help

her fight a very bad cold. That means that she consumed about 6 litres

that week (I make that about 1 1/2 US gallons?). She is fine now...;-)

My husband drinks a regular amount of 3/4 to a litre of KT diluted with

fizzy spring water.

I drink on average about 1/2 a litre undiluted spread in small amounts

over the day.

For someone who is not used to KT and may have health issues the amounts

we drink would be far too steep. Some people can only tolerate very small

amounts to start with, and that, even though Kombucha is NOT a drug, but

a super food. As with food generally, what suits one person, will not suit

another.

There is also the issue of caffeine, and the diuretic effect of Kombucha.

I try not to have any Kombucha before bed, otherwise I will spend a lot of

my night trotting to the loo instead of sleeping (I have not yet perfected

to sleepwalk to the loo ;-)

Also, the caffeine might keep a caffeine sensitive person awake.

You see, it's difficult to generalise, as the 'rules' differ so much from

person to person.

As to the question of overdosing or drinking a most beneficial amount -

this varies from person to person. My daughter, in her effort to fight her

nasty bug drank lots of Kombucha, which seemed to have flushed out some of

the poisons created through her sickness.

Normally, she would just drink a glass of Kombucha a day.

Your body will tell you when Kombucha would be a good thing to have or not

to have.

As for me, most of the time I just enjoy my 'WonderBooze'! ;-)

kombuchaly,

Margret:-)
