Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I am no expert on this by any means, but this is what I think. Kombucha might very well be great for a pregnant or nursing mom if they have been drinking it for a while before pregnancy. However if kombucha is really as detoxifying as they say, starting it during pregnancy or lactation might expose the baby to the toxins that the mother is expelling which would probably not be such a good thing for the baby.
