But what is Kombucha good for?
I'm still not sure what benefits kombucha has. The sugars needed for fermentation are converted by yeast, so they don't affect a low-glycemic diet, right? Does kombucha help the microbiome? submitted by /u/Reasonable-Crew3193 to r/Kombucha [link] [comments]

TIFU by drinking a gallon of homemade kombucha and destroying my gut
My gut's still making whale sounds while I type this. So yesterday I decided I'm saving cash and being healthy because TikTok said kombucha fixes your chakras or whatever, then my friend Jake dared me to drink half a gallon in one day for 150 bucks. Obviously I said yes because I'm an idiot and broke. I got this SCOBY in a 1-gallon jar, brewing it peach-ginger. Chugged part of it during a work call, boss asked if I'm boozing at 9am, I laughed, kept drinking. 3am I woke up because something inside me learned how to punch. Sprinted to the toilet, burped so hard the mirror fogged, nothing else happened. Cursed silence. Woke up again around 8ish, Googled later and saw "max 8 ounces a day" meanwhile I'm sitting on 64 ounces in 24 hours. Oops. Ten minutes later hell opened. I exploded peach lava, it splashed the underside of the seat like Jackson Pollock with vinegar, knees shaking, toilet wheezing. Thought I was done but no, round two hit so fast, my zolt app thought i was having a stress episode. Every fart now is Russian roulette. Woke up the next morning 2 lbs lighter. perfect bc im in a cut anyways lol Now I'm basically hugging a bottle of Pedialyte like it's my mom. tl;dr replaced water with homemade kombucha, brewed a volcano in my intestines, bathroom looks like a crime scene, send prayers submitted by /u/Senior-Coconut-106 to r/tifu [link] [comments]

Warning ⚠️ kombucha ruined my health
I'm new to brewing kombucha and am no expert and just want to warn some new comers of the dangers I faced and still facing. I bought this scoby off of Amazon and made kombucha within a few weeks. The scoby turned the sugar into vinegar pretty good I didn't see any mold growing on the kombucha I had made from it. Initially the smell was very off putting and that should have been my first sign not to drink it. It smelled like throw up pretty bad. I took a sip after f2 which built up carbonation pretty good. The taste was good it was a bit sweet but with vingery taste to it. I made about 4 16oz bottles of it. Over the next 4 days I drank it at 1 a day. I noticed after the first day it kinda cleaned me out. Now by the end of the last bottle I noticed my esophagus starting to hurt when I would swallow not my throat but beneath my chest plate just above the entrance of my stomach. That was the first sign something wasn't right with my health. I've been dealing with this for a few days now just like unglody heartburn but when I burp or anything it doesn't go away. Extreme pain when swallowing any food. The next thing to happen was mouth pain on my lower jaw that spread to my upper jaw almost like a sinus infection in my gums and roots of my teeth. Now when I eat anything that is sweet my salivary glands hurt by my check muscles and upper neck by my Adam's apple like a deep pain. I'm assuming I got some sort of bad bacteria from brewing this kombucha that affected my sinuses and my salivary glands including my esophagus. My engergy is sluggish and I just feel duper shitt obviously. Waiting to see the doctor tomorrow. Just putting this out there. If your kombucha smells bad and your brain is telling you something ain't right even if it tastes ok don't drink it. Im a newbie and I fucked up my health. Also I'm unsure if I'm going to continue this new found hobby that I was beginning to like. Anyone else have anything like this happen to them? submitted by /u/conair7 to r/Kombucha [link] [comments]

Is drinking Kombucha daily even healthy?
Dude my booch tastes so good it feels like I'm sinning when drinking it. Should you even drink it every day? To be honest with you, it's all I drink since I've discovered it a month ago. I'd say it's becoming an addiction and I don't think I can stop. I'm not sure I even want to. I'm a booch lover and a booch devourer. And you know what? F*ck water.

Fuck you, Kombucha
You taste just enough like hooch to make me scream out for red wine. While I'm at it, fuck you too, LaCroix. Empty promise in a can. Saturday night at home on a warm evening. Kids in the pool. Husband grilling steaks. Holy shit is this difficult. Normally I am looking at a bottle of wine that is already 3/4 gone. But this morning I woke up at 6am for my son's first ever baseball tournament and did not feel like total shit and was not embarrassed to meet a new set of parents early on a Saturday morning after a typical Friday night. And tomorrow is the second day of the tournament. I think I will feel even better tomorrow. Day 2 nearly in the books. Tomorrow is day 3. Yay me. And thanks to all of you. From a long time lurker. submitted by /u/regnisier to r/stopdrinking [link] [comments]
