How much kefir/kombucha/fermented veggies can we have??

[rhesp1212]

So, I admittedly went hog-wild and am starting my own Kombucha brew, water kefir and feremented my first set of veggies. I'm wondering if it's okay to be eating and drinking all three of these together? Can you have too much of a good thing?

If it's possible to eat or drink too much, anyone have tips on how much we should be eating and drinking each day??

My 16 month old is going to start on the fermented veggies and water kefir (slowly of course) and I have no idea how much he should be getting???

Thanks,
Valerie

I think ultimately you want to listen to your body and look for signs of a detox reaction. You can certainly consume all three together but I would start out with small amounts for at least few days and see how you feel.

As pp wrote, if you are not hoping for or have time for a full-on detox, then I'd start slowly, but as we have been consuming ferments for years now, we eat a fermented food at every meal. We still don't have kefir or kombucha mostly because we keep moving and we live somewhere very cold and I'm not sure how well the grains or fungus would survive the very long trip through the mountains; nobody here has any.

My dc will sometimes eat a 1 litre jar of sauerkraut, l-b fermented broccoli stems, l-b-f apricots, or l-b-f black peppered green beans in a sitting as a snack. No ill efects ever.

Happy fermenting and munching!
