>>>I did, and still

do, take lots of probiotics, both the " food "

kinds, and also I take EM (efficient microbes--a liquid probiotic)

everyday. <<<

Hi, I think EM is

GAPS-illegal since it contains molasses, which is not allowed. I know it’s

fermented but I don’t think there’s a way to really know if it’s

broken down to monosaccharides.

Too bad because I was thinking of making EM in order to load up on probiotics

in an inexpensive way. I don’t know of any other inexpensive GAPS-legal probiotic

drink other than lacto-fermented sodas made with honey, which I’m going

to start making this weekend.

>>Suze,

could you tell me how you plan to make the sodas without whey? has suggested using kraut juice as a

starter, just wondering if there are other possibilities too. I've only ever

used whey, which is out right now... Thanks, <<

If you make ginger soda the ginger already

contains good bacteria. When I made soda in the past I’d inoculate each

new batch with some left over from the old. But I think kraut juice is a good

way to inoculate the first batch. I don’t think I’ve every used

whey to make soda. I think

posted the recipe she uses (from NT). We have a guy here who makes fantastic

lacto-fermented sodas. He sold them at the last two WAPF conferences. His

method is more complicated than the NT recipe and he uses sugar not honey, but

I might try his method again at some point. If it’s a success, I’ll

post it. I think he’s modified it somewhat since the time he passed out

his instructions to our local WAPF chapter.
