Looking For A Good Probiotic

What is a good probiotic.  I am trying to heal my body and heard that a good probiotic would help.  I developed tonsil stones this past year and read something about intestinal cleansing and that probiotics are a good start.  Thanks.

I really like the Go Live brand. It's a prebiotic and probiotic mix. I use the flavorless powder packets and mix them with juice, but they also have different flavors. It's really expensive, though (about $30 for a box of 30 at Whole Foods in the U.S.).

Thanks Greenbeanie,  Do these have to be refrigerated?  I heard that a good probiotic should be kept in the refrigerator.

The Go Live packets don't need to be refrigerated. I tried a few different kinds before these , both refrigerated and unrefrigerated (I forget which brands, unfortunately). I eventually settled on these because I wanted a prebiotic as well as a probiotic, and someone had recommended L. Glutamine to me, which is in these packets too. I had also heard that refrigerated ones are better, though, and I wasn't sure how much it mattered. All I know is that these little guys are definitely doing something in there - for the first week my tummy sounded like a washing machine with all the gurgling! I took that as a sign that something new was going on.

Thanks.  I will give them a try.

VSL#3 has all the right cultures, another option is make Kefir, Sauerkraut and generally as many other cultured foods as you can and eat/drink them instead

Whole Foods 365 brand has a good probiotic too.  It's free of all the top allergens.  It's "recommended" refrigeration, but not required.

if you buy one you get the other for half the price, basically 40$ before taxes and shipping for 4 months of very good probiotics.

      are these gluten free, I know that they don't devote space and there could be cross contamination but can they be eaten by celiac person?

      knitty kitty brought up something that also occurred to me. Namely, the reason you don't like bread and pasta may be that your body has been instinctively telling you, "this is harming me" and so you avoid it. Cake, on the other hand, has less gluten and lots of other goodies like sugar and butter and chocolate that mask what gluten there is.

      @Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes.  Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it.  If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS.  TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS.   There are different amounts of gluten in different breeds of wheat.  Wheat used for cookies and cakes and tortillas do not contain as much gluten as wheat used for bread and pizza crust.  Look at the crumb in cakes and tortillas.  There's only small bubbles. Gluten is in the matrix forming those bubbles.  Compare those to the big bubbly holes in artisan bread and chewy pizza crust.  To get those big holes, more stretchy elastic gluten is used.   You are subconsciously avoiding those types of foods with large amounts of serious gluten in them.  Consider including these types of high gluten foods in your gluten challenge before your antibody retest and endoscopy.  Keep a food mood poo'd journal to record how symptoms change.   Anxiety, headaches and joint pain are symptoms of Celiac that occur outside the digestive tract, these are extraintestinal symptoms of celiac disease. "Could I really possibly follow a gluten free life as close as I follow Jesus?"    Yes, He's been my constant companion and guide on this journey which has brought us to the forum so we can help others on their journeys.   References: Celiac Disease: Extraintestinal Manifestations and Associated Conditions https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6895422/ Psychiatric and Neurological Manifestations of Celiac Disease in Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9984242/#:~:text=celiac disease%2C a multiorgan disorder with,life [21%2C22].

      Thanks for sharing this! You contacted them specifically about their certified gluten-free products, or which products specifically?  So out of all the finished batches of nuts, they only test one?! That seems suboptimally safe... Maybe I will have to try Tierra Farms too...
