Re: KT and a Chronic Cough

[Guest guest]

Is it possible that it is the acid in the kombucha that is bothering you?

Coughing after ingesting something acidic can be a sign of reflux.

tapers off again throughout the day and starts after I engage in a phone call or

Hi Chuck,

If you are concerned that KT may be detoxing your body too quickly the solution

for that is to either stop it for awhile or just cut back the amount of KT and

be sure to drink a lot of plain water. You should be able to tell quite quickly

whether or not KT is connected to your chest congestion.

There are many herbal decongestion formulas that can be very helpful for

clearing the lungs. Be sure to drink enough fluids too.

I hope you feel better very soon.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev
