The Trilogy
You and I are a 100 trillion cells of bacteria. You have more bacteria than cells in your body. It is really impossible to consume too much because this is what you are; bacteria.
However in the beginning you need to be very careful as you are starting to consume cultured foods for the first time. You should go very slowly. This is a lot of good bacteria flooding the body all at once.
The good bacteria will try and become dominate and remove pathogens and harmful bacterias. Set up places in the body to grow and thrive. It can become uncomfortable as the body gets use to this new eco -system and can cause a detox or healing crisis.
So go very slowly but in a short amount of time your body will adjust and then you can have as much as you desire.
I have just started the whole cultured foods thing and just got a cold sore. It has been a few years since my last sore and I was wondering if this could be part of the cleansing process?
This is a part of the cleansing process. They’re dominate virus and cleansing process that occur that are a good thing. But often will look like things are worse. It’s a good thing. It’s often called a healing crisis.
I crave vinegar and like to take a shot of apple cider vinegar. I eat a lot of vinegar and veggies cooked together with just a touch of sugar. I just ordered the culture starter for veggies and can’t wait to get started. Are there any recipes including vinegar?
You don’t need vinegar because the process of fermentation creates a vinegar tasting product only even better for you.

How would I know if I’ve eaten too much in the way of cultured foods? What symptoms would be present?
It good be gas, bloating feeling a few flu like symptoms that don’t last long and loose bowels. Also your skin can also get pimples as the bad bacteria leaves the body. doesn’t last long but can be something that happens.

Can I drink kombuncha with gastritis ,,I read today that it raises ur acid level. Thanks u do great
Where could I find kombuncha on the web,,,,the one that u like
I would suggest starting with milk kefir. It would be more effective for healing inflammation. You can buy GTS Synergy kombucha at whole foods and most health food stores. It is something you have to buy locally. It is to hard to ship. http://www.synergydrinks.com/
