I'm not familiar with probiotics, but several months ago I did post 3

recipes for kimchee, the standard Bok Choy version, White Radish, and Cucumber.

They should be in the files if you are interested. AmyF

As you may know, I've long considered making the transition

from vegetarian to vegan. I'm now reading the China Study,

so that may be the final straw. LOL. I currently consume

a lot of yogurt and kefir, believing their probiotic strains

to be beneficial. I'm wondering what you all do for your

probiotics? Do you supplement (and which brands are vegan?)

or do you rely on other cultured foods like unpasteurized

(or homemade) sauerkraut and kimchi? This latter I enjoy

and eat daily, so maybe that would suffice. Or maybe I'm

making a mountain out of a mole hill. :)

 

 

Thanks,

There is a brand of soy probiotics that my local Coop carries. I don't like it

because it is sweetened. Of course, there is always Miso.

hi erin,

 

i think garden of eden makes a vegan probiotic.

here's a link:

 

http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=GU-1028

 

it comes in a powder form as well.

 

this one may be vegan too:

I used to take Garden Of Life, but now won't touch their products

as their HSO formula contains Bacillus licheniformis, which has a

potential link to cancer. Too sketchy for me.

Yes, thanks. This one specifically says no dairy.

Thanks, Amy. I'm an inveterate kimchi maker/eater. That way,

I can make it sans salt. I have some every night with an apple:

Like yourself, I would also stay away from the sweetened kind.

As for miso, it does not fit in my low-sodium diet. I do have

some starter, however, to make my own, but I think I may only be

able to take it as far as innoculating the rice. The fermentation

stage for this cultured food probably really does need salt.

 

Thanks, all. Now I have some ideas. It's all still just research

at this stage, but again, that damn China Study may just be the

final straw. <shrug>
