spore based probiotics for leaky gut


Salinas22

Recommended Posts

Hi all. New to the celiac forum and newly diagnosed. Working with a functional medical doctor and he’s recommending a spore-soil based probiotic called Megaspore Biotics.  Has anyone ever used this for leaky gut relief/cure? I’m underweight by about 15lbs, I’m a 48M 5’6”.  I can provide much more detail if wanted or needed.

Not familiar with it at all.

I’d be cautious.  The bacillus species are normally a small portion of the intestinal flora.  The company that makes the product published a paper in 2021 studying the product in a model of the human GI system and saying more research was needed in vitro and in vivo. I’d want to see some research studying the product in vivo in humans.

Thanks for replying. I may have it a little backwards/wrong. It’s a probiotic that colonizes the small intestine since I’m low on several individual good bacteria strains and low on 2 kingdoms of good strains. This is supposed to produce a healthy strain of bacteria and fight off bad baby which I have a lot of. It’s also supposed to help heal the intestinal vilii therefore helping leaky gut.

RMJ, thank you so much. I read/skimmed through it and you’re absolutely correct. Testing was done in a SHIME replicated human GI model. They did test on a human but it was a healthy human. Even they say more studies need to be done in vivo. I’m so glad I didn’t take it yet. I read a scary report from someone else who in 2015 took another brand soil/spore based probiotic and it colonized  in his intestines in a very bad way. I’ll pass.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
