Re: Kombucha tea and acid reflux

[Guest guest]

I experienced this yesterday.

I was also diagnosed yesterday with acid reflux! Now I'm a bit worried so I'll

be watching for the experts answer on this one along with you .

Kombucha tea and acid reflux

Hi all,

I seem to get problems with heartburn every time I start drinking acidic

drinks, and my recent return to kombucha tea has triggered this problem

again. I wonder if there is a way to buffer the stuff so that it's not

so acidic... I guess I imagine something like dropping an alka-seltzer

in in right before drinking, but maybe something healthy, like something

with bio-available calcium in it. Has anyone had some experiences with

this?

Thanks

Hi ,

How about taking your Kombucha with meals.....if that is not

sufficient how about diluting a small amount of Kombucha in a glass of

water and taking that along with meals.....

You may need to cut back on the amount of Kombucha you are drinking

until your body gets used to it.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

absolutely. The answer is, only drink it with meals, drink small amounts,

work your way up.

V and Bev, thanks for the replies. Being a stubborn sort, or at least a

persistent one, I'm going to look for a way to up the pH. I'll report back.

Peace,

Well that's very easy to do, simply drink it earlier. So I will add that

to my list of things to suggest for this, which is, harvest earlier.

My 93 year mother has also been diagnosed with acid reflux and lots of

gas and resultant pain. I have been supplying her with kombucha for

about 6 month now. She started off with very small amounts and

increased it to 2 oz befor each meal, no more. She had no problems

with it until about three weeks ago when the burning started. The

kombucha I make for her is more on the acid side than sweet, but not

too acidic, certailly not vinegary. I can't make it more sweet as she

also has problems with candida ( kombucha is supposedly not

aggrevating it, but the sugar will...).A few days ago we stopped her

kombucha, although she loves it. No improvement though..

The doctor's prescription has not helped at all( I already expected as

much). Yesterday I took her to a herbalist who gave her a tincture to

deal with the acid, and several herbal teas to deal with digestion.

It's too early to tell if this will help. Will keep you posted.

I would really suggest drinking it with food, not before on an empty

stomach. It's not a given, to me, that the KT is a contributor to the

problem, but, the easiest way to imbibe KT is at the same time as food.
