There was also a triggering of a life-threatening autoimmune muscle disease that required emergency surgery and was “probably related to the consumption of a fermented Kombucha beverage.” Another patient presented with shortness of breath, shaking, and a movement disorder “after consumption of tea and no other medications,” and a middle-aged woman complained of xerostomia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache, and neck pain,” and her symptoms recurred on reingestion of the tea. There was another case of severe metabolic lactic acidosis, as well as a case of hepatotoxicity (liver toxicity) that resolved after stopping kombucha.
