Hey there Stanna!
How are things?
Ok, so I opened my jar of Reveuvenative Foods' Vegi-delite cultured veggies last night and decided to try a little. Very carefully (I only ate about 1/4 cup), since I have a history of not tolerating fermented foods very well. I did actually feel kind of weird after I ate them. Energy dragged some and I got a teensy bit woozy, but nothing to worry too much about. Certainly not the wheeze-fest I used to get, which is a sure sign I am getting better! This morning, I felt a tad bit more tired when I woke up, but after I got going and the day progressed, I felt better and more energetic than I did before I ate them. So, I think I will keep going, and see if the tiny little reaction I got improves as time goes on.
I was just wondering if you had any sort of similar experience with them, or if you just tolerated them fine right off the bat. I am doing pretty well, but just looking for that last thing (or things) that will clinch it for me, ya know what I mean?
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste - quite tangy but I liked it a lot. Haven't tried the kraut yet - that is next.
Thanks!

MoreThis is a reply to # 855,105My stomach is really weak and get the runs easily, but these veggies make me want to sing! I believe that they help digest the other food I eat too. My energy level is up since I have been eating them. Problem is I am up to a jar a day, and they aint cheap!
Today I bought a two gallon plastic bucket from the hardware store so I could start my own cultured veggies.- Re: To Stannarad re: cultured vegs stannarad

This is a reply to # 855,105HI. I'm doing great, thanks.
Well I don't recall feeling woozy or anything like that. But it's been a while since I first began eating them... a year or more now.
I just remember feeling a sense of 'claming' in my digestive tract. I could tell immediately...literally within minutes. I am almost positive I had candida growing in my esophogus and throat though and it used to cause reactions to EVERY food I ate within minutes of swallowing. It was misery for years.
I don't know what to make of the woozy feeling sans. Sounds a bit like my 'yeasty' feeling I get....which I really only get now a days if I eat somethng moldy. I still do not do well with certain cheeses....most are fine though IF they haven't been sitting in the fridge too long. I love cheese :-). I guesse you'll have to wait and see how you go. It could be a die off. Or maybe you are just too sensitive to aged foods. Gosh I am HIGHLY intoerant to molds, but these have only helped me. I think there really isn't a lot of mold sitting around on them because the good little critters are consuming and breaking things down. Just a guess :-)
I still cannot go into moldy buildings. I was all geared up several months ago, to return to college and complete my degree, but every time I go over to the university I get sick and woozy. I took my husband over there and he too could smell the mold. I could even see some on the air grates. Sheesh. I think that's a problem here in Florida ( sooo humid ). And most of the colleges/universities are old you know. I tried to visit another one in St. Augustine Fl. ( very near me ) and God it was much worse. I felt like I was flying when I'd been in only a few minutes. It's a really old historic college whihc looks like some sort of medieval castle :-). Oh well. I'm thinking about just returning to work instead....perhaps outside sales, which is what my husband does.
I'm so happy that you're finally getting well. I've thought of you many times. I think it's good for some of us oldies to visit once in a while to let people know you CAN beat this and get your life back. Even if we can never eat pizza for breakfast like most Americans! ha ha. Who wants to live like that anyway? I know I don't. I'd never go back to my old way of living- ( not that I ate lots of junk food per say ):-)- Re: To Stannarad/OOPS- I meant to sa... stannarad

This is a reply to # 855,402I forgot to say that I did in fact get a die off from time to time. I'd go through periods of die off, then feeling great. I noticed the die off was particularly bad when I got a more aged batch. You could tell because the cabbge would be almost mushy it was so broken down. Just more good critters in it I suppose :-). I haven't had any die off now for a while.

This is a reply to # 855,429Hi Stanna,
Thanks so much for such a good explanation - I really appreciate it. Sorry to hear about the moldy building situation. That pretty much sucks, especially if it means not goig back to college. :( I don't do well in moldy buildings either. I spent half my childhood playing in the basement that had been set up as a rec room for the kids in the house, and was always wheezing whenever I would go down there. Of course, no one connected the dots back then. It is probably just a matter of time before that reaction lessens in you, though, since you are doing so much better.
I tried the veggies again last night, since yesterday I just kept feeling better and better as the day went on until I felt practically great (and the only thing that could have done that is the veggies, since everything else was the same as usual). I did not get that same weird reaction the second time I tried them. Not sure why. Maybe something else caused it or maybe it was a minor die off from what little candida I have left and it was so effective it killed it right then and there. I agree with you that the good effects are very immediate - I am pretty shocked but delighted. I was doing pretty well already - maybe that is why I am getting such a dramatic reaction (good reaction). I noticed a HUGE improvement in food allergies after just one dose of this stuff.
Actually, I have a little story about "feeling it work".
Last night as I was leaving work, I had a low blood Sugar reaction (I'm type 1 diabetic). I treated it, but it still went lower, and I ended up having to sit on this wall near where I work for almost 45 minutes until I could function again, shaking, sweat pouring off me - you get the drift. I also ended up extremely hungry for something sweet. It was an unusually severe reaction and that can make me crave sweets after. I did not want to eat sugar, but on another level I could not help myself. I went into Walgreens and I ended up deciding on these Sugar free Almond Rocca candies that were made with Sucralose (bad, I know, but I thought at the time it would be better than Sugar - now I am not so sure). Anyway, I ate the candies and was ok for about 1/2 hour, then my stomach started getting really bloated and uncomfortable, and my God, Stanna, the gas that started coming out of me would have awoken the dead it was so putrid! And the cramping - it was a horror. My stomach was all bloated and expanded and my pants were so tight - I looked pregnant. Never again with the Sucralose - NEVER! So, I tried taking some of the Veggie Delight and ate about 1/3 cup. With first bite, I could feel a calming, like you mentioned. And then, I could actually feel a battle between the probiotics in the veggies and whatever evilness had been stirred up by that Sucralose-fest. The veggies won, and my stomach was flat again in about 1.5 hours.
This is miracle food!

This is a reply to # 855,759Oh gosh. I'm sorry you had to go through that! Sounds scary. I forgot you are diabetic.
I'll bet that wierd sweet craving happens afterwards becuase you've indulged and fed the beasties.
Speaking of bad reactions I had a wierd flare today myself after eating some of a salad that had sat too long in my fridge. Sheesh. Stupid mold. I recognized the feeling and threw it in the garbage after about 6 bites. I pretty much cheat every day now though so maybe they were already stirred up a bit. He he.
Wow. I'm really impressed with how fast the sauerkraut is affecting you. I can't say I felt a long term improvement that quick. The candida would keep re-growing. Gosh I am just now really thinking i'm going to be alright after a year. The candida kept pouring outta me all the time...dead I presume. So now it isn't building back up as badly as it did.
Oh yeah...the GAS. I left that part out but I have to say I can now out poot my hubby. LOL. Funny thing, it's not been as bad recently. Maybe that's a sign things are finally normalizing? I still do get the bloat a lot, but it seems to be after I eat something I'm allegic to and I burn up my innards. Yikes, the pain. I'm doing better but am still very allergic to some things ( like whole wheat and eggs- oh god the eggs.- Re: Sans Sucre sans sucre

This is a reply to # 855,811Sorry you are so sensitive to mold. I remember my nutritionist, when I asked if I might have a mold allergy, and she said if I did, it was going to be a very hard road as everything starts to grow mold almost right away, even if in the fridge, and that leftovers would be out of the question. I don't seem to react to mold in food, tho, thank God, tho I do react to it in the air. My sympathies.
Yes, I agree with you that the Sucralose binge flared my candida horribly. I found it rather surprising, since at this point I can actually handle some Sugar w/o flaring. I would think it would have done it less than real Sugar would have. Live and learn. NEVER again! I suspect the sweet cravings were a combination of the cnadida being kicked up, and also the fact that when the blood Sugar goes that low, sweet cravings are the body's way of saying, "feed me NOW".
Well, here I am today 2 days after that incident, and it is almost completely out of me and I credit much of that to the veggies which I find just amazing. I feel so good after I eat them. My energy increases, I can think better and my strenght and felxibility increase. I think I have found the thing that is going to be waht puts me over the top. I suspect one of the reasons I am taking so well to it is that I was pretty close to health by the time I finally tried them, so I did not have that far to climb up.- Re: Sans Sucre stannarad

This is a reply to # 856,695Yeah all those fake sweeteners are poison. I read that splenda is made from chlorine cystals....can you imagine??? They reforulate thm in some way but god you can imagine what all goes inot that frankenstein experiment. I'm glad you're feeling better today and that stuff is outta your system :-).
Yeah it makes sense I suppose ( my severe mold sensitvity) because it all started when I moved into an old moldy rental house. I began getting violently ill with sinus infections which after about three years began to progress into bad asthma. I was a real mess. In that three years time I was on Antibiotics ( as were my poor boys - just not quite as much for them ) about EVERY month which as you can certainly guess made me more ill. If that idiot doctor would have just asked me about my environment and I'd have immediately moved, I have no doubt I'd never have gotten sick. It was a never ending roller coaster of medications and Antibiotics after that. Until I stopped going to the idiots and just dealt with it ( ignored my health...until I got virtually bed bound :-(.
Sans sucre, I am SOOOO happy those fermented veggies are helping you so much! It makes my heart feel good to know I might have passed some info along that contributed to your recovery. You know, I tried a couple brands over the years but none had the effect this brand did.
God bless you and hopefully I'll 'see' you around here from time to time :-).

This is a reply to # 855,759i had a good immediate reaction to my very first batch of homemade kraut last year, almost as soon as i ate it i could feel it working in the back of my throat, it was a very odd but nice feeling, i ate 2 medium sized pieces before each meal for 5 days, and after the 5 days i felt so much better, my mouth which is usual thick with siliva to the point i slur my words, was thin and watery, and i remember taking the dog out for a walk across the fields and suddenly getting the urge to run, and as i was running i felt like i had my legs back, because usually they feel weak and feint (if u know what i mean) but as i was running, i was kind of stamping on the ground getting faster and faster. the problem is i have been experiementing with the kraut ever since, doing it the proper way, but not like the very first batch, and i havent been getting the same results. i think the first batch was optomised for friendly bacteria, whereas the subsequent batches have followed the full fermentation procedure, which hasnt worked very well, although i cant be sure untill i try another batch, possibly in a months time.
