Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
 
So, um... Hale's Medicine and Mother's Milk has kombucha listed as an L5. :shifty Um.... is this really safe to drink while nursing/pregnant? :shifty :bag :nails I'm really kind of freaked out that he has it listed as contraindicated for breastfeeding.

I remember looking this up at one point and the info he had on it seemed really off and sort of it was some sort of third party anecdotal report of a single incident that didn't seem very credible. Going to see if I can find it again...

Wow his website has totally changed, sorry not finding it now.

If you can feed it to your kids...why wouldn't you be able to drink it while nursing? It is ok to drink a beer occasionally while nursing... I would think that KT would be less.. :giggle

I don't really know though.

It is an odd reference in Hale's. It speaks to a death (or more than one?) in like 1995?! SO weird. Just had me freaked out!!

that is weird?? what would be in it that would be bad?? just that it can cause detoxing?? maybe if you have never been on it and are just coming off a really bad lifestyle/eating and then start drinking it your body would just have to many "open toxins" being released and flushed??

About halfway through this thread….this is getting me excited! My dad brought me a Scoby when he came to visit at christmas and I wasn't too sure what to do with it!

Now I"m inspired...:rockon

Blueberry is still my favorite. I put just enough blueberries to make one single layer on the top of the gallon jar. I don't puree them, either.

thanks for all this info.
I had let my scobby go and have been given a new one but I don't have the tea to go with it. From what I read I can use apple cider vinegar, am I correct in that?:shrug3
It certainly is a fun adventure:D

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
 
you don't want to use vinegar.

shekziwi 01-09-2012 08:51 PM

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
 
Oh, I'm glad I asked:blush
so do you have suggestion of how I can start the bucha without the previous tea?
or
should I just look for another starter mix?

cobluegirl 01-09-2012 08:53 PM

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
 
you just need a scoby and a sweat tea... hmm..starter helps... :think maybe someone else will have an idea... but I am pretty sure you dont' want vinegar..because it is another culture...

You can use a tablespoon of DISTILLED white vinegar or just use fresh sweet tea without anything else. I've done that.

Strawberry, grape, cherry, lemon, in that order. I tried pineapple once and wasn't impressed. Raspberry is good, too.
