Considering how many of us have trouble with anxiety and depression, and how many of us need probiotics, I thought this was interesting: Open Original Shared Link

I know full well the gut-brain connection (the production of seratonin and other neurotransmitters in the gut were surely affected when I was very ill before diagnsosis ) and so, I remain a steadfast believer in the healing powers of probiotics and their beneficial use for us celiacs with gut damage.

I had virtually no "good guy" beneficial bacteria upon diagnosis and my GI doc and I agreed that I should supplement for life.

If you guys have the big D--you need lactobacillis GG at first (as found in  DF Culturelle) and if you have the big C, you need a broad spectrum proB like those in Custom probtiotics or Jarrodophilis AF.

 

I know some of you regard me as the "probiotics pusher"....and I can live with that!  :D

I mean it....they turned my gut around and made my entire GI tract

stop burning, churning and behaving like an angry devil. I could not even drink water without burning pain

and within a month, I could swallow again. I take them every day. No bowel issues whatsoever after a lifetime of living in the loo.

 

And no anxiety/ depression either. (granted being off gluten poison is also part of the solution!)

 

I would also like to add this link for further reading

Ok oh wise probiotic pusher and second leader.....is there somewhere on the interwebz that teaches me about probiotics? I know next to nothing about them and while I'm certain they would help my entire family....I have no idea where to find decent ones or what makes them decent or really anything!

 

Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

I have no affiliation with this company whatsoever, I promise, but I have had great success with

Custom probiotics multi-strain.

The article link I posted earlier in the thread explains why celiac guts need them.

The website for Custom ProBs also has several articles you can read.

 

I see they are now available for sale on Ama zon as well.

A message  from the  second leader!!!!!!!!!!!!  Again, Irishheart  gave  you one.. Here are  a few  I  like & use. probiotics (different brands) give  people  different  results so  we  who use  them  have  our  favorites... here  are  mine>>>>> Dr. Ohirra's  twelve  point  professional  formula,  Align, Pearls  by  enzymatic therapy...these  I use  most  often  but   do  use others  as  well...many are  easy fines  at  Walmart...Probiotics  are the good  guys   that  fight  the  bad  guys  in your  gut.. We all need  them...Think of them  as the invaders  / solder's  to help you maintain  a good healthy  intestinal tract...

I  have  found  that  digestive enzymes  are  also very  helpful. What they  do  is  help  the  system digest  carbs, proteins,  &  so on. they are  taken  before  meals.....

I used Digest Gold Enzymes for the first year after DX. They helped me a lot!

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

UNMMMMM. I don't want it, its been my life confirmed in 1994.Menopause intensified extra sensitivity and medical has down played my sibo, ibs, CELIAC, now im having skin and eye issues. I thought help was available but its been a complete medical disaster.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By emzie · Posted

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (
