Summer is here, and you may have plans to go to faraway (or not-so-faraway) places. How do you plan to keep your gut healthy? Many is the time that I’ve returned from vacation to find myself: bloated, constipated, and broken out like a teenager (TMI, right?). Vacation sometimes leads to excess. But if you have ACCESS (to probiotic cultures) it will help balance the effects of EXCESS.

Of course, these days, you can find fermented foods almost anywhere – even in those “big box” stores that I shall not name 😉 . But if you want maximal good bacteria with minimal additives, your best bet is always to make your own.

You CAN opt bring a small amount of your live cultures with you. As long as you have your culture, it’s pretty easy to resource your ingredients anywhere. A Kombucha SCOBY, Water Kefir Grains, Milk Kefir Grains, or a bit of Yogurt can be started up wherever you land. I am no stranger to weird looks from airport security-haven’t been put on the no-fly list yet! If you’ll be staying more than a couple of days, you can easily jump in & start producing goodness right away.
