Probiotics

[Catherine pearl]

Hi quick question ,wondered if anyone ever tried probiotics for gut health ,I'm undecided about them if anyone has any experience with them be appreciated thanks

Anyone who has eaten pickles, kimchee, and other fermented foods has had probiotics, but I think you are referring to a supplemental version, which I've also used.  Probiotics are beneficial for gut health as they help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, improve digestion, boost the immune system, and reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal issues like bloating and diarrhea. They also contribute to better nutrient absorption and overall well-being.

Hi ,thanks for your reply  ,yes it's the supplements I was referring to ,there's just so much choice it's confusing about best one to get any advice on this thanks

I can't recommend a specific brand, but be sure it says "gluten-free" on the bottle.

Yes saw them in shop so will give them a go ,I was actually hospitalised for 2 wks recently with stomach pain nausea not eating  they did a coeliac blood screen no antibodies to gluten found so it's not that to get gsstroscopy and flexisig scope hopefully soon but symptoms continue so frustrating as getting no answers but thanks for your reply ,I find this forum so helpful

If you are getting an endoscopy for celiac disease be sure to keep eating gluten, lots of it daily, for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.

Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
