Make-Your-Own All Natural Soda Alternative

Most of us know that soda is bad for us. Calcium leeching from our bones, too much sugar, that kind of thing. And most of us drink it anyway. I’ve shared before how Coke was one of the hardest things for me to give up.
The drink you see in the glass above is a healthy, all-natural, carbonated alternative that I make at home! It takes about 5 minutes a day to set up a new, quart-size batch. I can also flavor it all sorts of ways, so no two are just alike. My husband loves it and drinks about a quart a day.
Water kefir is a fermented beverage filled with probiotics. Probiotics are vital because a whopping 80% of our immune cells reside in our gut! Kefir is an excellent way to keep our immune system strong.
Water kefir is made from water kefir grains, pictured below. (Sorry they’re a bit difficult to see.)
I obtained my kefir grains on ebay, but you can also get them from Cultures For Health, or from a friend. You can use the kefir grains over and over again, so it’s incredibly budget-friendly.
No Bro..you are spot-on..Joe is testing this an feeling a benefit already..so I'm sure he will put a Report in for us....
Help us soda addicts break the habit...:thumbs:
mmm..what are you using meter or ph paper..?
UnholyFire are you taking any Action to try to straighten it out..?
You must be feeling pretty rough huh..ph that far down...:no:

Paper for now.
I am feeling up to calibrating the PH meter today and testing it digitally.
Been drinking lots of water with fresh lemon juice in it and almost able to eat normally again!
Just in time for Christmas dinner!!!!

Yes and yes. Nothing to drink but water/juice and upped my intake of everything i can on the green side of the chart, slowly :check:
What's the difference between measuring saliva vs urine? Yesterday am pee 5.8 evening 6.2, today am 6.54! Than I just read your post and said hey let's see what my saliva is.. 6.92.
For some off reason though I find peeing and sampling that is not so bad, the saliva just now... Yuck! Seemed to gross me out... So is one more accurate than the other? Salivating enough than spitting in a medicine cup was just not as appealing as pissing.. Different strokes for different folks so they say.
