RE: Jen, OT: Making probiotics

[Guest guest]

Jen,

Thanks for the info.

My ND told me to go to the healthfood store and look in the dairy section

they have Kimchi and other fermented veggies, he said to eat them daily.

He said they are extremely sour. I wonder if as we eat the veggies if we

can put our own veggies in the liquid if it would do anything, or maybe it

needs to be heated in order to get the fermentation.

Does anyone know if you can make probiotics? or something similar to a

probiotic, would yogurt or kefir be the closest?

Yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, some kinds of pickles - all have

probiotics and you can make yourself. Trick is the natural fermentation

and starter cultures. I don't know specifically what kinds of bacteria

they each have in them, but they are all foods with living probiotics.

Check out the body ecology diet - they sell some starters and have culture

recipes.

You don't heat when you make kimchi and such. I do reuse the liquid. You ahve

to make sure though to get the naturally fermented stuff from the health food

store though - the regular old sauerkraut type stuff usually has sugar in it,

and you don't want that.

I think these are great, but they don't give you as much as the supplements.

Every little bit helps though.
