Dairy Free Acidopholis Pills?

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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
