Your description may explain the reason I've had a headache all day. Thought it was die off - I suppose it could be die off - it took me a while to realize that it was more of a die off headache than a headache from allergies, which is what I thought it was. Or it could be from the sugar or fructose - who knows. Hmm, I thought you said you had drunk it recently, or was thinking about trying it again. My mistake, Let me rephrase -- I sure as heck don't recommend it if you've been SCD less than 4-5 years. I've considered trying kombucha again, but I haven't gotten around to getting another mushroom, and, I'm wary of it because of additional research indicating that the mushrooms produce polysaccharides. Having established, over the lactose-based Motrin after my surgery that I surely don't tolerate disaccharides, I have no interest in trying lots of sucrose. And since it took me forever to handle fruit, aka fructose, I don't want to dump a bunch of that down there. I emphatically wouldn't recommend, if you are advanced enough to consider it, to use commercial kombucha. You know me: MAKE YOUR OWN! <grin> I can tell you from pre-SCD, that too much kombucha gave me a weird metallic taste in my mouth, and a kind of disoriented feeling. For me, it wasn't exactly a headache. It was... muzziness, if that makes sense. But remember, this was pre-SCD. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
