    I have taken probiotics before but it never had any effect on my anxiety, never tried kombucha before...just sounds nasty lol. Maybe the probiotics and the kombucha together are causing you to have intestinal/digestive symptoms which are causing you to have anxiety??? I would talk to my doctor about it but I would stop taking the probiotics and stop drinking the kombucha and see if you feel any better. Best of Luck!!!

    This is taken from, https://mentalhealthdaily.com/2016/07/11/kombucha-side-effects-adverse-reactions-list/

    Anxiety: Though rarely attributed to kombucha, some have claimed that its consumption causes or exacerbates their anxiety.  Someone with a history of neuropsychiatric conditions, especially anxiety disorders, may be more at risk for experiencing anxiety after drinking kombucha than the general population.  The anxiety you experience as a side effect may be related to altered activity within the gut-brain axis (GBA) as a result of the SCOBY.

    The newly introduced SCOBY may induce death of certain bacteria, causing them to generate endotoxins and leading to an immune response – possibly implicated in anxiety.  It is also possible that the specific type of SCOBY within your kombucha changed production of neuroactive metabolites generated in your gut, which in turn altered activity in your brain.  Some anxiety may be nothing more than a transient adaptation response to the neuroactive metabolites, but it also could suggest incompatibility with your neurochemistry.

    Arguably the most likely cause of anxiety after kombucha consumption is the histamine content; kombucha is an extremely high source of histamine.  Many people are unaware of the fact that they are sensitive to histamine, and that this sensitivity may cause anxiety.  If the kombucha is making you feel more anxious than usual, you may want to cease consumption and consider a histamine-related issue.

    My review is being moderated, probably becuse I included a link, but Kombucha is linked to heightened anxiety in a few ways.  It's a high histamine drink, and some people's bodies respond to increased histamine with panic.  It also affects the balance between your gut brain axis (GBA), which can cause you to respond with anxiety or panic.  I hope my link gets passed through moderation, because it's a very large list of side effects that Kombucha has that can be really bad for someone predisposed with anxiety disorders.
