Any Komucha drinkers?

So I've read a lot of mixed research online about drinking Kombucha during pregnancy.... most of it saying that if drank it regularly before getting pregnant it's ok to continue. I drink the store bought G.T.'s Synergy brand. My OBGYN said there is very little data on the subject and she thinks it's fine for me to keep drinking it but I wanted to see if any of you have any experience with it / thoughts...

    I stopped drinking it when I found out I was pregnant.

    All anecdotal but I have tons of friends who drink it throughout pregnancy. I even have some who brew their own. I wouldn't drink home brew but was fine with store bought. Great source of probiotics

    I was wondering this same thing! Forgot to talk to my doctor about it at the last appointment but from what I have read online, it's okay if you were already drinking it. I could really use the pick me up it gives me right about now, but still have been on the fence about drinking it.

    I haven't asked my doctor, but so long as it's been pasteurized I would be comfortable drinking it. I love, love, love kombucha. There is a lot of research that shows probiotics are great for your baby and you during pregnancy. Especially though, if your doc. said yes, go for it!

    Yeah I spoke with two OBGYNs that are a part of my care and they both said that while there is no hard data they both think it's safe to drink. I still going to drink it, in moderation of course, but until I learn otherwise I feel comfortable continuing.

    I drank it normally before my previous pregnancy and continued to drink it through that pregnancy. DS was born perfectly healthy and I didn't have any complications during the pregnancy. I will drink it every so often through this pregnancy as well.
