Hi,

I began drinking GT's kombucha in 2010 and became addicted to it. I drank on average three drinks a day. I continued drinking it until 2014. I had horrible stomach aches toward the end. I stopped drinking it because of the digestive upset I experienced while drinking it. October 2014 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I don't know if there is a direct connection between my over-consumption of kombucha and Hashimoto's, but I will be very careful if I ever choose to drink it again (no more than one drink per month).
