Switch From Culturelle To Align Based On Bifidobacteria. Thoughts?

Actually, I recall reading this right after DX: "a celiac's immune system is very strong". I think people erroneously believe we are sickly because we have celiac, but the opposite is true. Once our guts are healed, we resist infection better than most. Our immune system runs on "overtime" defending us.

thought I'd come back and update since I posted something about it in another thread...

 

I've been on the Custom Probiotics less than a month.  I've been taking one in the morning on an empty stomach, and there were a few days I took it right before bed as well.  I stopped taking Citrucel and my body kept itself eliminating on a regular basis  ;)  I think it's important to also note that I was eating a completely whole foods diet, so between that and the probiotics, I dumped the Citrucel, and everything is still working!!

Hi there, Positive Horn Player!

So glad you added an update.  I've been battling the big C lately.  I've been abroad for almost 6 weeks now and I haven't been able to prepare one meal for myself.  I buy things at the grocery store, but can't cook anything.  Can't wait to come home to my own kitchen and I will probably order those recommended probiotics from IH so they're there when I get home, since mine don't seem to be doing the trick as of late.  Need to get that book too!

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA.  What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test?  Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption. 
    • trents
      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
