In a probiotic, I usually look for a refrigerated brand as the potency is higher and thereby more effective in smaller doses. In my dd's case, I also look for a dairy-free version as she has a dairy allergy. One of the more studied and effective probiotic strains is Lactobacillus GG. There is also a lot of research out on acidophilus and bifobifidus. You can choose between, capsules, powder and pearls. I've also read that Culturelle is a very good brand but we use one by Metagenics as it is almost tasteless.

As for digestive enzymes, I go for a good protoelytic enzyme. However, you really have to be careful with the more powerful ones if you are on any blood-thinning meds like Cumadin (sp?). Protoelytic enzymes also thin blood and must be used with extreme caution if there is any meds for heart problems or strokes. Serralone, made by Generations is excellent. It is also being used in Europe as an alternative to open heart surgery and even amputation as it really can reduce inflammation and eats all non-living matter in the system (including scar tissue, cysts and arterial plaque). I believe Germany is where most of the studies on it comes from. In any case, I've understood Celiac Disease to also come with a deficiency in producing enzymes so to me, it seems like a good idea to supplement....even if it's with something as simple as a chewable papaya or bromelain enzyme (which helps a lot of with lactose problems).

Hi,

I use HLC probiotic by Pharmax.....I'm not sure if its sold in stores but I get it from my doctor. I use this one because it doesnt have any extra stuff in it and its gluten and casein free and good quality....I dont trust stuff thats not refrigerated.

For a digestive enzyme I use Digest Gold by Enzymedica. I got it at whole foods and its expensive but its working great for me.

My doctor recommended Jarrow formula bifidus and prescribed an enzyme called Creon to help me digest protein.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
