Kombucha and water kefir contain live probiotics from fermentation. I drink a minimum of 16 oz. a day, sometimes 32 oz./day if I hit a sale (16 oz. bottles are ~$3 USD at the supermarket). I notice a decline in health when I stop drinking these beverages so I know they have a positive effect. I made my own water kefir using a starter kit from https://www.culturedfoodlife.com (the site lists the bacteria/yeast in the crystals). It's a lot cheaper to make your own but it requires a little bit of time (15 - 45 minutes...

Going into a workplace with SIBO is a challenge:  - I chose a profession that lends itself to working from home (WFH). Software engineering can be performed alone except for meetings. I try to negotiate as many WFH days as possible. I found that some employers/managers are more open than others. I noticed recently some businesses advertise as WFH-friendly which is a positive trend. I'm really curious what others with SIBO/IBS do for a living. - I've never disclosed my condition to employers. I wonder if that was a mistake. If you have SIBO/IBS and disclosed your conditi...
