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.

Posterboy,

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest ...

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.
