So i decided to try taking acidophilus pills. i went and spent a decent amount of money on pills (gluten-free of course). well ive taken them for 2 days, and both time after i have taken them, my stomach has hurt SO bad. I decided yesterday to take them before bed, that way maybe i would just sleep through the stomachache. But no, i was wide awake all night with a weird stomachache and major gurgling gassy stuff moving around in my stomach. This morning i feel better, but does anyone have any idea why im getting like that after taking the pills? is this normal?

Hmmm...probiotics are really supposed to be good for you...however, I had one brand that I swear gave me burning D. I switched to another and notice no issues at all. Could you lower your dosage, try another brand or eat with a meal (if you aren't already...). Also--Did you make sure the supplement was free of allergens?

Might want to see if it's dairy free too? I've never had any problems taking mine.

I have only tried probiotics once, Culturelle. I started out ok, but within about 4-5 days, I got the rumbling and not-quite-D that burned. I found out that it may disagree with people who are sensitive to dairy--since I am and otherwise strictly dairy free, I stopped taking them and felt better very quickly (a day or 2).

i just went to the store today and got a different kind that is FOR SURE dairy free. still had some major tummy gurgling after i took it also. i took some stuff to calm my stomach down, and i feel better. when i looked up acidophilus side effects, it says it can sometimes cause gas for a little while when you start it. so im hoping it goes away! i want to keep giving this a try, but its so uncomfortable!

Hi! Sorry you're not feeling well. My first week or so, I didn't feel too well taking them. I think they just needed to adjust to my stomach. Is there perhaps something in them you might be sensitive to?

Either way, feel better!

I take Bio-K (Dairy free), in case you are interested in trying another.

Rache - If it is a pill, check for fillers... I was really sensitive to rice for awhile and was getting sick from my B vitamin and it had rice in it.

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
