I get it now. LOL<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve gotten some random flavors to try and see what I like. Kombucha is really healthy and good for gut health, which is why I wanted to give it a try again. I want to do more to have good gut health.

Especially sourdough&#8211;I feel like it&#8217;s really healthy (much healthier than regular bread you buy in a store). I recently asked her for some sourdough starter and she gave me some and instructions.<\/p>\n<p>So last weekend I got the starter and &#8220;fed&#8221; it. I am really excited to experiment.
