a few questions

[Guest guest]

Dear everyone,

I have only been brewing KT for a month or so and am really enjoying the

process, the drinking of it and reading all the information you offer on this

list - so a big thank you. I have a few queries that I would love to have

answered when possible:

I started gradually, but now drink three smallish glasses a day - is that

about the maximum that is felt to be good for us - I could easily drink more,

but wonder if it is possible to get a little bit hooked??

Is too much caffeine a worry, particularly if ordinary tea is drunk as well?

My teenage son has longstanding health and digestive problems - multiple

food intolerances, very thin, tired, don't think he detoxes very well as he

looks/feels ghastly when he plays sport and reacts quite dramatically to even

gentle approaches such as homeopathy, shiatsu etc. We seem to have tried just

about everything but cannot get him well, so I wonder whether it is safe to

try him on KT? Any advice would be so much appreciated - if this is felt to be

going off topic please let me know.

I have to be careful not to let my enthusiasm for Kombucha to run away with

me, but was also wondering about my father - quite elderly now, struggling

more and more with mobility as had polio as a child, memory not quite so good.

He cannot move very fast and I think any diuretic effect would be a problem -

would this be less so if the Manna drops were taken instead of the tea

itself? (He is already on medication for high BP )

Please don't feel obliged to answer all these!

I live in Devon, in the SW of England and have a couple of babies I would be

happy to pass on but would need advice on how to package them safely.

With very best wishes to you all,
