Kombucha anyone?

[PUG MAMA 1]

Helloooooooooo,

I am wondering if anyone drinks GT's Kombucha with the lapband. It's a fermented mushroom drink that aids in digestion and prioboitics. It taste like vinegar although you can buy it flavored. I do like the taste, alot of raw foodies drink it. It is expensive 3.49 a bottle.

My question or concern is, can this be bad for the band? I would ask my doctor but I don't think he has a clue of what it is.

There is a slight carbonation to it and I know that this is not approved for us.

Does anyone know if this is ok to drink?

Thanks

I have tried it once (worst tasting stuff in my life)...I ended up tossing out the expensive stuff. But it is carbonated technically. You could let it sit for a while but it is your choice to drink it or not. If all else fails, I would ask the dr if they are ok with it.

That is a good question I also wonder about that.i love kombucha. Im only 3 weeks post op. Maybe it would be the same as soda. I was told at some point we can drink soda again so maybe it would be that same weight time. But if you find out please let me know.

Take a bottle to your Dr., and show him what it is, and get his 2 cents...

I hate vinegar.... YUK !
