There have been tragic cases reported of deaths resulting from infection in patients being given probiotics. In cases where probiotics are not being used to treat diarrhea, however, some patients experience mild diarrhea during the first two to three days of supplementation, but it generally subsides rather quickly. Probiotic supplements may contain any number of different bacterial strains, but the two used most often are lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. To make kombucha, sweetened green or black tea is fermented with a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, otherwise known as a scoby. Contaminated kombucha may cause more harm than good. Bulsiewicz recommends starting out with about four ounces per day to get your digestive system used to it.
