Probiotics

[SophieB333]

Hi guys, could someone help me. I have been super unwell the past few days and I think I’ve narrowed it down to my probiotic..it’s the Life Space brand https://www.lifespaceprobiotics.com/en/shop/adult-health/broad-spectrum-probiotic/broad-spectrum-probiotic-30-capsules/. Has anyone tried this and found the same? It said no added gluten and silly me made an assumption it was gluten-free.

After reading through their site it's doubtful that this product contains any gluten, but you are correct, as "no gluten added" is not the same as "gluten-free." You may want to call the company and see if it's made on lines shared to make other supplements, as cross-contamination could be a possibility. 

Certain probiotics can cause stomach issues in some people as well.

It would be wise to switch out the product for one that has "gluten-free" on its label, and is regularly tested for gluten.

Another question for the manufacturer - what media is used to grow the bacteria.   Sometimes that media can contain gluten.
