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.

      Cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Clancy’s Hint of Lime tortilla chips Aldi

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.

      It’s been 3 days so far. I think I might be on the mend, but every time I think that, I go on rewind.  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
