(Disclaimer upfront: I am not a doctor or medical professional.)

Kombucha often contains some alcohol. I'd suggest being cautious about alcohol consumption - frankly, eliminating it altogether from your diet would be my personal suggestion; there is evidence of increased risk of colon cancer from alcohol.

Just grabbing the first thing I found: "Moderate to heavy alcohol consumption is associated with 1.2- to 1.5-fold increased risks of cancers of the colon and rectum compared with no alcohol consumption". From here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/a...

They give several references there to back up that statement, those could be worth reading.

Best wishes for your recovery and health and longterm success.

Edit: wow, i'm getting downvoted? if i'm saying something inaccurate or inappropriate here, i'd be grateful for some specific feedback. thanks.
