I think that the only one I have found is Flora-Q and Florastor (has yeast in it). So I think I am going to give the Flora-Q a try but I also wanted to know if anyone else uses probiotics and if so are they gluten free and dairy free? have they made a difference?

Florastor contains lactose so its not casein free.

My GI gave me samples of FloraQ. Tummy felt pretty yuck for a few days when I first started. Those symptoms settled completely. I suspect it was the battle of good vs. evil :ph34r:

I still don't understand the Probiotics. Rachel, can you spell it out for me in laymens terms. I think that you have to take Pro to counter the Anti-B, when you need them....other than that I don't know. Should I be taking them now .

I'm not Rachel, but I'll take a stab at it. Our bodies contain bacteria, both good and bad. They live there in a sort of balance until something upsets that balance. If you take antibiotics, for instance, they kill both the good and bad bacteria, but the bad stuff comes back quicker. Other things can upset the balance as well, so we take a probiotic to help balance out the bad stuff. I try to take them all the time because I have sooooo many things going on, lol.

Donna- i have a question about this. This was my understanding about using probiotics as well, but i just started taking them last week after a visit to a nutritionist. All of the sudden the last few days i have had a bit of D, but not like i have been glutened, more like my body is trying to flush something out of it (i.e., no pain, cramps, etc. Just D). Could this be the probiotics at work flushing out the bad bacteria? Or does it not work that way?

Yes, I think they can actually work that way. I'm not sure it's technically flushing out, but I do think that it can cause D sometimes. They don't affect me that way any more but I do believe in the beginning they did.

The good bacteria (what's in the probiotics) helps you digest foods in your GI tract.

When you have D, the bacteria gets flushed out and your GI tract is "off", you can be grumbly, irregular, etc. Same thing with antibiotics, because those kill all bacteria. That's why you get yeast infections on antibiotics, too. The good bacteria keep the yeast in check, and can't when they're killed off.

Thanks, that is reassuring. the best i can describe is that it feels like "productive D", if you get what i mean. :D it certainly doesnt feeling like a rxn from food. i'm also getting over a sinus infection which could be part of it too... Chelsea- thanks for the info- i used to take acidophilus daily when i was younger b/c i was on antibiotics throughout my childhood. Never realized until recently that i could take it when i wasnt on antibiotics!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Makes me wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the protein avenin in oats triggers a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs and that this stricter standard for oat products is concession to those people making noise on that basis.

      Yes, but what has really happened is that companies just removed "gluten-free" from their packaging, as General Mills has done for Canadian Cheerios. Why they would allow a 20ppm for gluten-free in other foods and only set this higher level for oats is very odd, and no other countries do this.

      Alcohol

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      That "gut ache" after drinking may be more than alcohol not agreeing with a gut that's trying to heal. Alcohol prevents absorption of vitamins, and actually breaks thiamine Vitamin B 1 so it cannot function.  Thiamine deficiency can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi, with symptoms of digestive upsets and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and can cause neurological problems and problems with thinking and judgement.  I've experienced Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  Thiamine supplementation is a must, along with the other B vitamins and Vitamin C.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31543793/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/

      Yeah I think my body is definitely telling me to lay off the alcohol I just don’t seem to agree with it right now but that might be because my gut is still trying to heal.
