Donna, stumbling upon your website and Facebook page has changed our lives! I began to make kefir and kombucha, and these have helped heal us. My husband had constant diarrhea, which stopped when he began kefir and kombucha. I was addicted to Mountain Dew, which I knew was bad for me, but couldn't stop. The day I began drinking kombucha was the last day I drank Mountain Dew! It's so amazing. Both of us have lost weight, and no longer have food cravings we used to have. We have more energy, don't need naps, and have more positive dispositions. We just feel happy and grateful every day that we learned so much from you. Thank you!

Nancy Stoltenberg I’ve just started with Kefir and I’m brewing my own Kombucha so I’m in the early weeks of ingesting these probiotics. I’ve already noticed a big change and look forward to better and better health in the future. Great feedback btw, very inspiring 😊

Is this an acquired drink, like beer? ive never been able to develop a taste for beer. Wow you said you're 57? You look 15 yrs younger. i thought you were in your 40s. im gonna start drinking this, not only for my health that has been suffering for 4 years, but because i want the benefit of looking younger longer. Donna, you are God sent. This has been your Mission in life, i thank him for you.

There is no spoiled Kombucha when it turns to alcohol. That's good stuff.

9:13 kombucha and antibiotic

[@marlenedietrich6706]

Thank You 😊

[@gladysma308]

Hi Donna many thanks for your video and podcast. I am doing research and found your channel. If you could help me to clarify. Have you been drinking kombucha and consuming milk kefir ? Other podcast, you told us that you have been consuming milk kefir which gives you all the benefits. Just wanted to clarify before starting my kefir journey.

I luv it. Wanna start making my own. How much do you drink in a day?

[@carnicavegirl7214]

This is the first day I ever tried kombucha, I bought the GT brand, and it really messed me up, made my arthritis go crazy for hours, I was in so much pain, do you think, making it lead would be different

[@bdoyle9881]

Donna, I am so glad I listen to this pocast, I was making my own, and I listen to a lady, that said kombusha puts to much yeast in your body and causes yeast infection, in some people, at that time of making my own, I had some issues going on and thought maybe it was the kombusha, so I stop making mine.. I am not drinking it and all the things you said came back, joint pains etc. My question is that lady correct or wrong? ??

Fortifying your body with good microorganisms can cause a war with the bad ones already in your gut. Don’t let the bad ones win. 👍

[@geosmyth3098]

Thank you for the info, I’m drinking for 4 months now it was hard for the first couple of months feeling blotted and very uncomfortable 😣 but now it’s just the best feeling. I have a 2 year old boy when can I give it to him? Thank you 😊 🗣🙏🏾

[@mauracruz6649]

Good, good 😇🤗🖒👍👌💪💪💪

[@doriswise1603]

I have made 4 batches so far and they all taste different. Do you sell the finished product so we could know if we have fermented enough?

[@CulturedFoodLife]

We don't sell already made kombucha, just the starter culture: www.culturedfoodlife.com/store/product/donnas-kombucha-starter/

[@maryjohnson1604]

Every time you make a batch of kambucha you get another scobe.

[@TheBzybees]

My body does not tolerate black tea. Can I use green or white tea?

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Green tea works great!

[@TheBzybees]

Donna Schwenk so should straight green tea be used or can we use say ginger peach or raspberry green tea.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

straight green tea. I wouldn't use different flavors, because those are often flavored by essential oils, which can be antibacterial and kill your kombucha culture.
