Here's a few more fermented foods that I can think of:
--olives
--pickles (or pickled anything)
--cheeses (also soy/rice/almond cheeses)
--wine, beer, spirits
--vinegars
--dairy products, i.e. yogurt, kefir, sour cream, creme fraiche, etc. (and their soy alternatives)
--sauerkraut
--miso
--natto
--kimchi (I miss this. Must acquire some. I used to eat it almost everyday!!!)
--yeast/bread
--teas (i.e. green tea. alot of teas are preserved via fermentation)
--smoked foods, i.e. fish
--seasoned aged sausages
--basically anything "brined" in a salt stock is fermented
--mustard, ketchup, etc.

and only a few of them would have the live cultures that are one of the prime benefits of fermentation.

I buy YOGOURMET Freeze - Dried Kefir Starter in a 6 pkg box..that makes 6 quarts of liquid kefir..You can mix it with a milk sub like a rice/soy or nut milk and it doesn't take any special equipment..you just leave it out at room temperature for 24 hrs.to ferment, then refrigerate it. The only difference with making it non-dairy is that you can't save some of the past mixture to start the next (like you would with a sourdough starter). You use a new pkg. each time you make it. It's not expensive. You'll pay anywhere from $3-$6 a box of 6 pkgs. depending on how many you order at one time. I not only just drink it, I use it in smoothies and like I would buttermilk for homemade Ranch dressing or in baked products where it calls for buttermilk or a soured milk. Do a google search for sources if you are interested. Kandee

I take peppermint capsules too 3 times a day because it calms my stomach but have to take citrucel to help me go. I didn't have to use it as often. I used to chew peppermint sugarless gum to calm my stomach then take mylanta to stop the acid. Maybe too much of good thing doesn't always work. So maybe you're right!

This is a great post, Maria. I agree totally with your advice to post meals for others to take a look at. I don't know what amazes me more: how willing people on the Board are to help with something like that or how good they are at spotting possible problems. And I think you made your point about the difference between fearing foods and being aware of them brilliantly.
Kudos.

I've been taking 2 of Heather's peppermint/fennel/ginger capsules 3x/day and they've really helped reduce pain and spasms. However, I've been even more constipated than normal. Could the muscle relaxing effects of the peppermint be causing this?
Thanks,
Chris
Wow, the directions only say 1 at a time...3/day.
