Welcome to a Cabral House Call. I'm Stephen Caball, Board certified naturoyke doctor and today we're back answering more of your

questions let's get right into it what is our first question all right Mary is asking

what is a natural way to get probiotics so basically how do you get them maybe from your food

instead of from a capsule? So perfectly valid question. One of the things you should just kind of,

there are many different ways to get them, but one of the things you can think about

is most or at least a lot of fermented foods contain natural probiotics.

So you could look for fermented vegetables. Fermented carrots and

ginger is a really nice one. I would check that out. A lot of times you get them

locally at markets. Another one is Kimchi, so a lot of people use that in Asian-based cultures.

It's a nice spicy one, so if you like that with your food, it also helps with digestion.

You can look into kaffir if you don't have an issue with milk.

Now, again,

cafir is typically lactose free but some do contain lactose,

but that doesn't mean you can't still be sensitive to dairy in general.

So you could look into that, that would absolutely work.

You could look into a Lassie-based drink which is like an

Indian digestive drink. You could look into certain types of yogurt. I'm not a huge

proponent of a lot of yogurts but there can be some good ones

especially made from like sheep's milk or goats milk. What else could you look into?

Even they use basically like young coconuts and they turn that into its own little fermented or probiotic

based coconut drink.

That is really nice for a lot of people.
