Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Sounds like sour kraut juice. Does this cause a lot of gas generation? Do you get standing ovations from truck drivers when you pass gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Sounds like kraut to me. Still a cultured food but like anything you have to pay attention to how something works for you. Tamara Tornado <tamaratornado@...> wrote: This is from my support group for candida diet, by Bee, the owner/leader of the group: / Cabbage Rejuvelac Recipe Cabbage is a vegetable that is teeming with lactobacteria. No starter is needed for making this rejuvelac. Start one morning by blending together 1-3/4 cups distilled or purified water plus 3 cups of coarsely chopped, loosely packed fresh cabbage. Start the blender at low speed and then advance the blender to high speed and blend for 30 more seconds. Pour into a jar (a quart jar is excellent to use), cover tightly (ensure there is at least 1 inch of space above the mixture), and let it stand at room temperature for 3 days. After 3 days strain off the liquid rejuvelac and discard the cabbage. The initial batch of cabbage rejuvelac takes 3 days to mature, but succeeding batches take 24 hours each. Each morning after straining off the fresh rejuvelac, blend together 1-1/2 cups of distilled or purified water plus 3 cups of coarsely ground, loosely packed fresh cabbage, for 30 seconds at high speed. Pour it into a jar and add 1/4 cup of the fresh rejuvelac just strained off, cover, shake, and let it stand at room temperature until the next morning. Making Cabbage Rejuvelac without a Blender: Cabbage rejuvelac can also be made without using a blender. Chop up 2-1/2 cups of cabbage very fine (replacing the 3 cups in the recipe above), with the same amount of water (1-3/4 cups). Good quality rejuvelac tastes similar to a cross between carbonated water and the whey obtained when making yogurt. Bad quality rejuvelac has a much more putrid odour and taste and should not be consumed. Avoid using tap water because chlorine will interfere with the production of the bacteria. Boiling tap water for 30 minutes uncovered will remove chlorine. Refrigerate rejuvelac if it is to be kept overnight. Discard any rejuvelac on hand 24 hours after it is poured off the cabbage. How to Take Rejuvelac Drink each day's rejuvelac during the course of the day by taking 1/2 cup three times per day, preferably with meals. To implant a healthy population of lactobacteria in the intestinal tract take rejuvelac for 1 to 3 months. People who have candida are very sensitive to yeast so it is recommended they make a new batch every time, but they could start 3 jars 3 days in a row so they do not run out. __________________________________________ DSL – Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 you are such a joker! I haven't had gas from it... it's sort of like sauerkraut, but it's unsalted. My reflux has not happened for several days though i had not quit the rejuvelac yet. So I duno what caused it. I am stopping the rejuvelac to see what happens, then later I will try it again. - T > > Sounds like sour kraut juice. Does this cause a lot of gas generation?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Tamara, I have to be very careful with cabbage. If I eat too much of it in any form, I not only have gas, It builds up and causes a pain so bad I double over and break out in a hot cold sweat for about half an hour before my bowels move. See also if there is a difference in how much cabbage you eat. Re: Cabbage Rejuvelac Recipe you are such a joker! I haven't had gas from it... it's sort of like sauerkraut, but it's unsalted.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Common cabbage is a neutral for Secretors, avoid for Non-secretors. I haven't cooked it since I started eating this way. I didn't know the cause so, I've just been cautious. I do eat it at Senior Citizens, so I continue to be cautious, since I'm not in control of how long it's cooked.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Just looked at the recipe and put together my first batch here. It says to cover the jar. Do we want air to circulate and lightly cover or shall we tighten the top? Thanks By the way I have spring water in the house. Should spring water be fine? Bee I get my spring water in the 5 gallon jugs from teh grocery store. Im in Edmonton. I am sure you are prabobly familiar with teh " 100% Canadian " label on those bottles. You have any recommendations where to get good bottled water or you figure this one is fine. Thanks Marko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recipe states: Pour into a jar (a quart jar is excellent to use), ****cover tightly (ensure there is at least 1 inch of space above the mixture),*** and let it stand at room temperature for 3 days. > By the way I have spring water in the house.

I lived there many years from 1969 to 1982 and again 1985 to 1988 and 1991 to 1995. That's where I ran a Candida Support Group. I wonder if my great holistic MD is still there - Tris Trethart (not sure of the spelling of his last name)? Sorry I don't know much about bottled water. I'd be concerned about the type of plastic used as to whether it would leach into the water. I use a Brita Water Filter which doesn't filter out fluoride but I've eliminated all other sources so I'm not concerned. Chlorine in water affects the outcome of the rejuvelac, but boiled tap water is okay and I'm sure your spring water would be okay, but check into the plastic issue.
