ey—author of article here, aaron i had a similar issue when i first started eating fermented foods. but before that i had a lot of gas issues in general. eating fermented food made it especially bad, i had huge stomach aches. but i started preparing my own kombucha, and eating lots of sauerkraut type stuff. so yeah it got really bad for a while, my stomach was incendiary, but then after a month it actually passed. its like it hit some kind of plateau, where my stomach got used to it after beign totally surprised by it for a while. bonus: my general stomach aches and gas issues disappeared after i was more used to fermentation in my diet. im not saying it would be the same for you, but i do think its worth trying. be careful and see if you can deal with it, but dont be afraid if at first you have a bad reaction... that might change after a while.
