Cramps from eating cultured vegetables

[Guest guest]

I'm new to the group but not new to this way of eating. Years ago I was

introduced to the Body Ecology Diet and learned the importance of

fermented foods. My problem is with the cultured vegetables. I would

use the BED culture starter packets when making my vegetables. I don't

use salt. Most people seem to thrive on these vegetables but I get

terrible cramps from eating them. My thought is that maybe mine are

spoiled somehow and I'm experiencing some type of food poisoning.

However, I have been to a demonstration on how to make them, I follow

the recipe to the " T " , allow them to ferment at room temperature for 3

days, then refrigerate them. Could I actually be experiencing food

poisoning or could I be allergic to something in the vegetables? Has

anyone else ever experienced cramping pains when eating them?
