If it is a toxic mushroom that is causing the liver and/or gastro toxicity, then pasteurization is unlikely to help. Starting with the correct mushroom will.
If it is the kombucha bacteria causing the toxicity, then pasteurization may help but also negates the purpose of the kombucha which is to ingest living bacteria. Warmly,Donna

Hi Nikki,
I think drinking Kombucha is fine in reasonable amounts. I ran a quick pubmed search and found 2 case reports in the last 10 years, one of liver toxicity and one of gastrointestinal toxicity. I don't have access to the articles.
I suppose that if the mushroom used to make the tea is toxic, then it would cause harm to mom and baby.
If the Kombucha is pasteurized it might be safer.
