From time to time newer members dig up old threads. I notice getting notifications from older posts as well.

There are some never ending debates after all. ;)

I should have clarified my google feed dug up these types of stories for me 😂😂😂😂

Ooo! I hope so, if you find some let me know! I'll keep a look out too

Hi Leia

It is easy to make your own non carbonated kombucha. If you are in Houston PM me and I will be happy to give you a "kombucha mother". What gives kombucha its fizz is the second fermentation. Just like with soda if you leave it open it will lose its fizz.

Kombucha on friend!

Ya got to face it, your damned if you do and damned if you don't..

The " experts " will tall you one thing, then another thing a few months later.. to be honest, I dont think anyone really knows about them..

Plus, you have to be careful of the studies themselves.. need to see who is funding them.. the sugar growers will always try to tell you how bad the artificial sweeteners are and the sweetener people will say how bad sugar is.

Uurg, well that kinda kills my dependence on Premier Protein shakes. They have been the only reason I'm getting to or close to my Protein goals so far. :(

I dont like how sweet they are anyway, but its so hard to find shakes that don't have artificial sweeteners.

On the other hand, I have IBS, and chronic inflammation...and if getting completely off this stuff would help clear that up, I've got to try.

Isopure has a natural line of powders that use cane sugar--and a surprisingly small amount per serving. 25g of Protein and 3g sugar. Mixed into Water or skim milk it 1000x better than a premade shake--no thickness or off taste (other than one would expect from whey isolate).

yes I do but they have been dormant in the fridge. I would be happy to share them with you. My kefir grains are for kefir Water (think champagne not yogurt).

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
