Fasting with Kombucha?

[Jolenegreen]

My hubby wants to fast for 30 days on straight Blue Algae Kombucha. Wondering if this is safe

I wanted to add Kombucha to my fast, but Aleesha told me that it was too stimulating for fasting, and I think that she was right.

What the heck does that mean ? LOL

A fast rests your digestive system. I think what is meant is that the digestive system finds Kombucha stimulating rather than restful.

[ReneeH]

Yes, I believe that is what she meant because when I drank it prior to her telling me that it gave me a HUGE rush from it. After she told me that and I stopped drinking it, my body responded better for the rest of my fast.

... what????



A fast places your colon. I think what is intended is that the colon understands Korumburra exciting rather than relaxing.

... what????

There's a much better (or worse, depending on how you view it) one on another thread. I'm still giggling.

I am not convinced that kombucha is that great for you and i feel that perhaps it should be drank in moderation.

For me, it constipate me. I wouldn't fast with that.

Anyway, this is my thought!

Yeah, kombucha makes me so sick. I don't know why. I get nasty breakouts all over my skin and stomach aches from it. So personally it would not be something I would fast on. I also doubt how healthy it is overall, but it's hard not to when you react to it the way I do.

I agree, I used to drink it as a little treat but stopped because I noticed I felt not right afterwards, similar to how I used to feel when I used to drink alcohol

I guess there is some small amount of alcohol in it, no? I react badly to alcohol too, I wonder if that's why.

I agree with rawgirl00. I didn't care for the "buzzed" feeling it gave me. Also made me paranoid after consuming.

fasting on kombucha is unwise. it would put a lot of strain on your organs (especially your liver). when we fast we want to promote healing and rest for our organs... kombucha does the opposite of rest. it's kinda like fasting on cola. you'd be doing more harm than good to your body.
