The naturally cultured saurkraut from Rejuvenative Foods is wonderful. There is nothing else in it - just the veggies, and in some cases a little Sea Salt . One should indeed avoid regular supermarket kraut, which is made with white vinegar and other additives. That being said, though I now swear by the kraut and veggies, thee was a time early on in my recovery where I was so reactive to foods, I could not have eaten it then, but now that I tolerate a lot more, they work great for me. They helped me when not much else did.
