It is not safe to start kombucha, or any detoxification protocol, while

ttc, pg, or bf. It is safe to continue drinking kombucha in small

amounts if you have already been drinking it for awhile- and have

theoretically already had significant detox.

Desh,

The answer to this was posted in another group.

If well tolerated then a small amount taken diluted with

water, say as little as 1/4 cup, should be safe. It was stated

this amount should be of benefit to the mother without to

much caffeine or alcohol intake, through out pregnancy and

lactation.

Well, that is really what I said. Small amounts okay, if already

ingested detoxed. It is really dangerous to start any sort of

detoxification protocol while pregnant (or possibly so). That's a good

way to pull toxins stored in bone and other tissues and plop them right

in the fetus, often with terrible results. It takes very little to start

moving metals around (among other toxins) and moving them is often

disasterous- often they are sequestered by the body somewhere they can do

little damage, and then the detoxing substance mobilizes them to where

they can do little damage. Ingesting any detoxification substance while

pregnant is foolish, starting a new detox substance, doubly so. 'Should

benefit' is hogwash- and the use of the conditional tense a warning sign.

Unless the poster of the 'should benefit' comment is a ND midwife, who

has done hair, urine, breastmilk and blood testing on women before,

during, and after kombucha drinking while pregnant, breastfeeding, and

not, I would err on the side of caution still would not drink anything

minorly detoxifying. Women's bodies behave differently when detoxing-

according to their nutritional status and genetic capacity for such.

Some babies get mercury poisoning from their mother's fillings, some

don't. Women who are toxic with metals report that their nurslings

toxicity increases when the mother does anything minorly detoxifying. I

would much rather an enciente drink a glass of wine.

Desh,

Ha! Don't let the diet dictocrats catch you saying that... in their

minds that would be abuse to the fetus.
