Should I be drinking extra water when drinking Kombucha Tea?
Clark, a former subscriber to the Kombucha list, says: “My only experience so far after about 10 weeks of drinking the K-tea was to become dehydrated after about 5-6 weeks. This manifested itself as constant physical and mental fatigue (my chiropractor aptly described it as brain fog) and finally my lips became dry and cracked. After my chiropractor defined the problem to me ( I had no idea what was wrong ) I started drinking a minimum of two quarts of oat water ( at his suggestion ) a day in addition to all other beverages. Oat water is 2 tablespoons oatmeal in a quart of water left overnight in the refrigerator. The brain fog left in two days, it took a full two weeks for my lips to re-hydrate. I stopped the tea for a week and a half, resumed about two weeks ago. I read it over and over–all the experts cautioned about drinking sufficient water but I didn’t listen well enough. If you drink the tea, drink the water.
