Probiotic Foods: 4 (4) 


Note: I'm changing that last category from "fermented foods" to "probiotic foods", because there are foods - like raw milk - that are not fermented or cultured yet contain beneficial bacteria and enzymes that aid in digestion. I don't just want to eat food, I want to digest it!


What counts as a Probiotic Food?
From the food diary above, I am counting kombucha, raw milk, sour cream, and yogurt as probiotic. Other examples are kefir, raw cheese, and lacto-fermented fruits, vegetables, and condiments.

Are you pregnant? What are you eating to nourish yourself and your baby? What do you wish you were eating more or less of?
