to fuel the day, but what about sour-sweet kombucha tea? Is it safe to drink kombucha while pregnant? A dietician weighs in.Kombucha may be on-trend, but it's a controversial tea drink. Thanks to the fermentation process with SCOBY—a jello-like cellulose pad that houses active lactic acid, acetic acid, and yeast. SCOBY is edible, but anything fermented during pregnancy could be an issue.
"Sugars, caffeine, herbs, and many other components are used to create flavor profiles for kombucha, but nausea can be managed in many ways by using gingerroot, fennel or peppermint teas and consuming smaller meals, or snacks," says Saxena."Even flat ginger ale is safer and potentially helpful," Saxena adds. "Kombucha provides no special relief or benefit and adds risk if consumed during pregnancy.
Saxena recommends quality-tested foods from a certified food handling facility to avoid contamination. "In Addition, fermentation can produce alcohol content in kombucha, so this must be avoided. Finally, many have high levels of caffeine and added sugars to promote fermentation. Kombucha is best left to the non-pregnant. There are no benefits that outweigh the risk to a pregnant woman."How does kombucha ferment?
