Saccharomyces Boulardii is a probiotic yeast that is supposedly helpful for IBS, especially travelers diarrhea. I have a IBS with a sensitivity to gluten and casein. Being on the road a lot, there are often times when I dont pack a gluten free lunch and all I can find is a sandwich or something else with gluten. I know I will pay for it with an upset stomach and on the odd occasion  diarrhea exactly 24 hours after ingestion.  I bought some Saccharomyces Boulardii today, hoping it will help. Thanks for your thoughts!

Umm if you have celiac you paying for it alot more then with just a tummy ache....your upping your chances for secondary complications, other AI disease, chancing your immune system attacking more then just your gut (it attacks my brain and nervous system now), chances of cancer, etc.

There are gluten pills like GlidenX but those just make it less noticeable and lessen the damage...I noticed it shortened my major symptoms from accidental exposure...but I still had the longer term quirk of numbness etc that shows it does not stop antibodies from being made and attacking your insides.

Your better off investing in boxes of gluten free meal bars like Julian Bakery, Kind, etc and keeping them in the car.....PS last time I checked at gas stations I found. Wonderful Pistachios gluten-free, Rythem Kale CHips gluten-free, Some gluten-free corn chips, gluten-free hard boiled eggs, gluten-free fruit cups, EPIC gluten free pork rinds and jerky......FFS do not poison yourself with a dang sandwich like a bloody idiot.

BarryC,

Ennis_Tx has given you great advice I have used some of them (his suggestions) myself.

So as to not duplicate his response I was in CVS today (there are several locations) so this should be easy to do.

I don't know how well they travel though.  But they have "No Cow bars" which are both casein and gluten free bars.

**** I have personally have not tried them but they are readily available. Depending on if your super sensitive or not most of them use Almonds from  a shared facility or processed on equipment that also process gluten.  So be sure to read their allergy statement before trying them.

Jerky, Nuts, or Pork rinds are all great easy, natural, portable snacks.  And of course.

I am a fan of Sunflower seeds.  And pumpkin seeds are also commonly available today as well as fresh fruits often even like Apples and Banana's in gas stations even.

If you have use of a spoon apple sauce is nice or pork and beans travel well. 

Also though it is not on the menu boards Hardees (may be Carl Jr's depending on where you live) all of  their burgers can be ordered low carb and with a side salad.  And since they don't pre-make their salads because their is not high demand you can ask them to leave off the grated cheese strips put on most salads these days.

Also Wendy's has a nice Taco Salad and their Chili's never bother me and I always ask for corn chip strips to mix with my chili.  they gladly substitute when you ask for them.

I have tried your Saccharomyces Boulardii you mentioned and I think it might help IBS but I would be careful as Ennnis_Tx said to assume it might help your Celiac disease.

I hope this is helpful.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
