Who would have thought a tea would be a source of probiotics? Definitely not me, however Kombucha Tea is listed on multiple sites as readily available in stores and coffee shops. This is a tea consisting of fermented black tea, yeast and sugar. With a variety of health benefits I will be picking up some of this today. If you would like more information check this page out it even has instructions to make your own. I don't think I am brave enough for that...I may create a super probiotic that no gut is ready for.

I'm not convinced we need to add "good" bacteria to our guts. Eating a fair amount of raw plant materials and avoiding processed foods seems to be working well for me.

The "good bacteria" or probiotics are created from the fermentation process. We have a symbiotic relationship with them. I used to eat meat and a variety of dairy products that used the fermentation process and had no lack of probiotics. The Weston A Price Diet allows for meat and dairy, even most vegetarian allows for dairy. Vegan however does not - no animal protein is consumed. I agree I do not wish to by supplements but rather find foods to supply my nutritional needs.
