Sorry, but it's not gluten-free.

I take Theralac for probiotics (not Threelac, which is a different one).

Plus, Primal Defense doesn't have vitamins, so you'd still want to take those. I like Wild Oats vitamins because they're labeled gluten-free.

Primal Defense lists barley grass on the label. It's important to read everything you buy, every time you buy it because recipes can change.

The one I take has several strains, similar to Primal Defense. You can read about it at Open Original Shared Link. I missed the Primal Defense!! But this one's great!

I have a question.

Is it safe to take this along with aciphilodis (spelling? :blink: ) and l'glutamine?

Or should I ditch the aciphilodis? and just take the theralac and l'glutamine?

Thanks

About a year ago I was following a diet and supplement plan that, after the initial detox stage, included Primal Defense. I improved a lot prior to I started up the supplements and yogurt, and was very puzzled as to why my G.I. symptoms came back again. It wasn't until I started reading here on this forum that I discovered that all of my "green" supplements that were supposed to be so good for me contained barley grass and I was glutening myself every day! I was also drinking barley grass powder mix. Yikes :o And to top it off, I have since discovered a casein intolerance. Talk about a double-wammy!

Go ahead and take your acidophilus. I take other probiotics (acidophilus and bifidus) along with the Theralac ... but I'm on a boat load of long-term antibiotics for the Lyme Disease and we're trying to prevent candida infection.

I don't think the l glutamine has anything to do with the probiotics, so it should be safe to take. You can ask at Whole Foods to be sure.

I take many, many supplements ... I don't think it's the same as drug interactions. Some supplements will make others not absorb as well, but it shouldn't actually make you ill.

Artgirl :o , glad you found out!!

Thats interesting....my gyny put me on a yeast free diet and thats when i finally got rid of my bloated belly. Are candidas and celiac related?

Should I be watching my sugar intake?

Could the reason im now eating fruit be causing my bloated belly symptoms?

Any thoughts and candidas related stuff you can tell me about would be appreciated.

thanks :):lol::rolleyes:

You may want to check out the thread on leaky gut it may be helpful. I haven't been through it throughly but I bet if you post your query there and in Related Disorders you will get some help with this.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      14 year old with Celiac & EOE still suffering...

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Nacina, I would add a B Complex to all that and extra thiamine B 1 and magnesium glycinate, and high dose Vitamin D to get his level up faster.   We need the B vitamins to repair our body and for energy to function.  Thiamine B 1 is especially important for athletes.  Thiamine works with magnesium.  Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies can cause constipation.  All eight essential B vitamins work together.  Due to poor absorption in celiac disease, supplementing with B vitamins boosts our ability to absorb them.  Here's some reading material that is helpful... An open-label, randomized, 10 weeks prospective study on the efficacy of vitamin D (daily low dose and weekly high dose) in vitamin D deficient patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6618212/ Micronutrients Dietary Supplementation Advices for Celiac Patients on Long-Term Gluten-Free Diet with Good Compliance: A Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6681258/ The Effects of Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide on Physiological Adaption and Exercise Performance Improvement https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6073388/ The Effect of a High-Dose Vitamin B Multivitamin Supplement on the Relationship between Brain Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: A Randomized Control Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316433/ B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9662251/ Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition: A Narrative Review of the Biochemical and Clinical Evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019700/ A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10542023/ Effects of thiamine supplementation on exercise-induced fatigue https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8815395/ The effects of endurance training and thiamine supplementation on anti-fatigue during exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241913/ Hope this helps!

      By Jesmar · Posted

      Hi all.  I am an 18 year old male. Recently I had anti ttg-igA tested and it came back as 9.1 IU/ml (weak positive) (increased from previous test which was 5.6iU/mL) . What does this mean please? I am booked for an endoscopy however, i am negative for both HLA DQ2 and DQ8. I have a family history of coeliac.

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.
