We all know sauerkraut, fermented foods, are good for us, but I have a feeling I'm an anomaly. I enjoy late night snacking it(organic and unprocessed) right out of the container.

How do you enjoy sauerkraut ?

I love canned sauerkraut right out of the can, cold and crunchy.

I eat a lot of kimchi, and I put it on just about everything except breakfast cereal.  It doesn't have to be the hot kind, either.  A forkful on top of a bowl of soup really adds a lot of flavor. 

My other half likes to drink glasses of sauerkraut or pickle juice in the middle of the night.  I don't go that far.

I like it straight out of the jar. Sometimes I eat kraut as a midday snack, or sometiems with lunch of dinner.

Speaking of kraut, I was going to try making a batch of kimchi today!

Hi, I am new to the forum, but have been reading everyone's posts for the past year. I have been dealing with this disease for about 3 years. When I saw the posts about eating kraut, I had to respond. It is rare, that I can eat that, without having major issues with it. Doesn't it make you go to the bathroom ALOT? Also, I just want to say, having this forum to come too, does help me cope with this terrible disease. I have a husband, who is very supportive and is very understanding. I don't know how many times, he has dropped me off at the door of a fast food restaurant, for an emergency stop. Does any one have a handicap parking plate, so you can stop quickly to use the bathroom. Sometimes finding a spot, is a matter of making it to the bathroom and not.

Heidi311 sounds like a good idea for a new topic. I've been wondering about that too.

Speaking of kraut. I love it so much back when prednisone worked Half my meals would be kraut(side dish). Ive always thought of it being too acidic which apperently isnt good for us. Im definetly going to go back to a more krauty diet soon after further reasearch and see what happens. I guess before my body naturally knew it was good for me :)

Maybe because I always ate it cooked and not raw. I will try it like that. Might not be as hard on me? That would be a first!

@Heidi - maybe start small, like a tsp every other day? Also, check out crohnology dot com, I find the answers there helpful(just like here, but a different vibe)

Interested how we snack on kraut knowing it's good for us. I like it as a side to many dishes I make. A serving is half a cup, good to know as I'm usually under that. Too much kraut intake means a lot of sodium.

I'm going to start looking for kraut recipes
