No, consuming kombucha will not make you sick. If you consume too much kombucha it may have a negative digestive impact such as gas, bloating and nausea. Ideally, try to drink no more than 450mls of Kombucha over the day. If you have a sensitive stomach, digestive issues or IBS, start with small amounts of kombucha to determine your levels of tolerance. This will provide the nutritious benefits such as natural probiotics to improve gut bacteria, antioxidants and the ability to help lower cholesterol.

There may be a small percentage of people who consume kombucha who may experience side effects such as bloating, vomiting, nausea, jaundice and even an allergic reaction. This would depend on the individual's health status as some may be more sensitive to this beverage. Also those who drink kombucha in excess have a higher risk of experiencing these side effects.

Consuming kombucha that has been processed and fermented appropriately should not result in making you sick. However, if the kombucha was not processed or stored properly, this can result in spoilage.
