Can anyone suggest a good dairy free acidopholis/probiotic supplement? I see some that say milk free, but then have casein in them. What brand is good? Thanks!

Since I've had systemic yeast a long time, I've taken numerous brands. My all time favorite is Theralac. You can find it online at www.theralac.com

You only need one pill a day....you may even be able to get by with less than that, as it is very potent...20 billion whatevers per pill!

I use Bio-K, and love it. Never would change. I use the Dairy-Free version.

I bought Natren online (www.natren.com). It came in special dry ice packaging and everything. They make some with dairy and some without so be sure to specify. I thought it was pretty good. It came with a ton of informative literature about the company and why their product works.

I used caprylic acid, which seemed to work wonders. I recall there were a few different brands available at the time.

I take Natrol. I found them at my local grocery store and they are free of gluten, milk, soy, corn, egg, yeast, artificial colors & flavors, added starch or preservatives. They seem to work very well for me. I had stopped taking it for a while, but had to take antibiotics for an ear infection a few weeks back and these really helped with the intestinal issues I started to have and helped prevent a yeast infection (which I always get after antibiotics).

Whatever brand you choose, many of them make enteric coated varieties. Those have always had a much greater efficacy for me. They cost a lot more, but I consider them worth it. Logically, lactobacillus shouldn't be super resistant to stomach acid, so getting em past the stomach is a good thing. I found a study from 1987 that said acidophilous was better than the others, but I think enteric coating is still better.

However, I don't know what's in the enteric coating. The ingredients on my Nature's Way Primadophilous just says "Aqueous enteric coating." I think they are some kind of cellulose-based plastic (methyl acrylic, anyone?), which has it's own issues, but I'm not certain. I don't care for plastics, but I like my gut biota to work properly.

There's no dairy product in the ingredients, for what it's worth.

Also, I've noticed many stores are stocking their probiotics on the regular shelves (Target, for example). I would never buy one that hadn't been refrigerated. Half the bacteria are probably dead. Same goes for mail-ordering. If they don't keep them cool, then they're probably not a good brand.

I like my Nature's Way, but then that was what they had at Whole Foods.

I take Metagencis brand Ultra Dopholis... free of everything except the zillion little good guys I get in my system. It's a powder that you mix in water. Keep the powder in the fridge, they like it dark and cold to stay alive.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company?

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
