My kimchi actually made a difference for my bloating...

I've had trouble with bloating for a while now... always feeling puffy after meals. Store-bought fermented foods never really helped, so I tried making kimchi at home. The first batch was too salty, and the second one didn't ferment right... it was frustrating. This time, I measured the salt better and left it for seven days in a cool spot. The taste came out tangy and crunchy, just how I like it. I've been having a small scoop with dinner every night, and my stomach feels much calmer. It's nice to see something I made myself actually improve how I feel. Might try sauerkraut next... see if it helps too.

Getting the salt right on that third batch must have been a relief. It's really satisfying when you finally nail a homemade ferment after a couple fails. Glad it's working out for you.

Could just be the placebo effect.
