Trouble With Culturelle Probiotic

I've always been on a probiotic and my body seems to get used to them after a while. I switch brands regularly. After being on philip's colon health for a while, I switched to culturelle. I've been having diarrhea with it, though it is marketed as helping with it. I don't usually get diarrhea unless I've eaten (unintentionally) a good bit of gluten, which I don't believe I have because I'm not getting all of my usual symptoms. Anyone had trouble with culturelle? Which brands are better? Acidophilus made me feel horrible and the pearls never worked for me. As always, I'm grateful for anyone's time and advice! You people are awesome : )

I never had trouble with culturelle, but maybe you just have an issue with that brand for some reason.

 

I only used that when I had D in the beginning because yes, lactobacillus GG is targeted for D.

 

Ever try Florajen 3?

I've never heard of it. I'll try anything that works!

I tried culturelle once, and it didn't seem to do anything whatsoever. That's not to say you won't have any reaction to it though. My sensitivities seem to only become heightened and expanded over time. It does get frustrating sometimes.

i use culturelle because it is soy free.  you have to use it for about 2 weeks before everything 'settles down' - when i first started taking it, my guts sounded like a war zone, lolz :D  at first, i thought i was reacting to it, then i read the box <wah waaaaaaaaah...   ^_^

Try  different  brands  of probiotics  & it is great  you know  to switch  them...  Lots  to choose  from  ... Dr Ohirra's ,  align,  floragen3, &  many many more.. Some  work  for    many  &  do  nothing  for  others....You  have  to  find  one  that  works for your  body....

Also  consider  digestive  enzymes  as  well....they  are  before meals  & help break  down  sugars, carbs  proteins.....

I started Culturelle 9 days ago to rotate the probiotics I'm taking and I'm not sure it's related but I've been having nausea and headaches and I'm not sure why. Maybe they don't agree with me. I'm going to stop them to see if it helps and go back on the multi strain I was taking, I didn't have any problem with those. If Culturelle is targeted for D, that could be a problem for me, I have C, and it's been worse lately.

 

This site is such a jewel, thanks again to those who keep it up and running. I don't know what I would have done without it during this period of trial and error. Having a place to learn and exchange experiences is priceless. We are all very lucky to have it :)

I, too, have C. The symptoms did lessen for me, though not gone completely. I'd say give it more time. I agree about this site, I'd be a total wreck going through this celiac journey alone!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
