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.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
